Home Hygiene

One of the most common requests from our new clients is to find them a new or more reliable cleaner. It’s true, the good ones are in demand and hard to find – especially in London. 

A diligent, thoughtful cleaner is doing more than making everywhere look and smell good though.

They also play an important role in managing hygiene levels in your home.

In this 3 part mini-series, we’ll focus on the ways you and your family might unwittingly be bringing germs into your home, spreading them around inside and letting them accumulate.

It’s an eye opener!
