If you’ve scheduled regular cleaning, you can find the name of your cleaner in the ‘your next booking’ section of your customer account. You’ll have the same cleaner for each booking unless they’re unavailable. Before sending a replacement cleaner, we’ll check with you first. We may need to adjust your booking for one-time cleaning appointments based on our cleaner’s availability.
When you’re making a booking, simply include any helpful information for your cleaner in the ‘special instructions’ column. You can always edit this later by going to ‘your next booking’ and selecting ‘make changes’. Feel free to add details like how to locate your property, access instructions, details about unlocking and alarm systems, cleaning preferences, where to find cleaning products, and any information about your pets.
Payment is usually processed around 5pm on the day of your cleaning service. We’ll charge the card linked to your account for the payment. Payment isn’t taken days before your service; however, we do place a hold on your card the day before your cleaning to ensure sufficient funds are available.
When you initially join Penny’s Cleaning or update your payment details, your bank may notify you of an active card check for £0.00.

If you have any issues with your booking or payment information, please contact us as soon as you can at info@pennyscleaning.co.uk
When you refer a friend or family member, they’ll receive a £10.00 discount on their booking, and you’ll earn a £10.00 credit on your account for your next booking. To redeem your credit, simply enter your referral code into the discount code field when making a booking. Your referral code will either be emailed to you directly or added to your customer notes when you book a recurring cleaning service.
If you haven’t received your referral code or if it’s not visible in your customer profile, please reach out to us via email at info@pennyscleaning.co.uk, and we’ll promptly update your account for you.
If your cleaner is running behind schedule, we apologise for any inconvenience caused. Simply send us an email at info@pennyscleaning.co.uk, and we’ll promptly investigate the situation and keep you updated on the progress.
You’ll find your cleaner’s arrival time on the home page of your customer account. Please note that we offer a two-hour arrival window in your booking, which may not necessarily reflect the exact start and end times of your cleaning service. For instance, an 8-10 arrival window means your cleaner could arrive anytime between those times. You can reschedule your booking without facing a cancellation fee if you give 24 hours’ notice. However, if your regular cleaner is unavailable, we may need to arrange for a replacement cleaner.
The fastest and simplest way to reach us is by sending an email. You can reach us at info@pennyscleaning.co.uk or by using the contact form on our website. We’ll respond promptly to urgent matters and within two business days for other inquiries. Our office hours are Monday to Friday from 9am to 4pm.
Following your booking, you’ll receive an automatic email to gauge your satisfaction with the cleaning service. This helps us maintain our high standards consistently and provides feedback for our cleaners. We use a simple smiley face system to make it easy but feel free to leave a comment too.
If you prefer not to receive these emails, you can adjust your email preferences by selecting your name in your customer account. From there, you can access the drop-down menu to select email preferences and make any desired changes.
If you can’t find an opening for a specific day, it usually means we’re fully booked. While our booking form’s availability is typically accurate, occasional cancellations or cleaners taking leave can affect overall availability. In such cases, it’s best to email us at info@pennyscleaning.co.uk with your preferred date and times, and we’ll do our best to accommodate you.
If you don’t need to be present during the cleaning, you can provide a spare key to your cleaner. We’ll ensure any identifying information is removed and provide your cleaner with a unique code to label the spare key. If you have a key safe, please inform us in the booking instructions.
You can give us a call at 01752 564456 or by email at info@pennyscleaning.co.uk
You have the flexibility to modify your booking, whether you need to skip a clean, reschedule, or cancel. However, we require at least 24 hours’ notice before your scheduled cleaning to avoid a cancellation fee. The cancellation fee amounts to 70% of the total cost of your booking.
If you need to cancel with less than 24 hours’ notice, or if your cleaner arrives but is unable to gain entry or commence the clean, the cancellation fee will be charged.
The cancellation policy is applicable to all recurring and one-time bookings.
Our cleaning durations are determined by the size of your property and the number of bedrooms and bathrooms. The minimum booking time for a clean is 2 hours. This ensures that the cleaner has adequate time to complete the cleaning tasks and covers their costs effectively.
We believe in offering flexibility with our cleaning services. You can cancel your service at any time without incurring any fees, as long as you provide at least 24 hours’ notice before your next scheduled booking.
When you schedule a cleaning with us, we’ll suggest a duration based on your property’s size. However, the decision on how long to book is ultimately yours.
Please note: Our minimum booking period is 2 hours.
For general cleaning, we recommend 2 hours for a 1 or 2-bedroom property with 1 bathroom. For each additional room, we suggest adding an extra 30 minutes. For example, a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom property would typically require 3.5 hours.
If you don’t require every room to be cleaned, you can shorten the duration by informing your cleaner of your priorities when booking. Simply add instructions specifying your preferences.
You can include this information in your booking instructions if you only require specific rooms to be cleaned. For existing clients, you can log in to your account and make changes at any time.
Your cleaner may not be equipped to bring a vacuum cleaner or mop and bucket, but they will bring all necessary cleaning products.
For safety reasons, your cleaner should not be expected to:
If you require a deep clean for your home, you can select this option as an extra on the booking form.
You can check your next scheduled clean in your customer account. Additionally, we’ll send you an automatic email reminder the day before your cleaning service.
Occasionally, your cleaner may be unable to attend the scheduled booking. We’ll notify you of this as soon as possible and, if possible, we’ll try to arrange a replacement cleaner after consulting with you. Since we don’t take payment in advance, you won’t be charged for this cancellation. If we’re able to reschedule, we’ll charge the card on the day of your new booking once it’s completed.
If you’re not satisfied with your cleaning service, please inform our team at info@pennyscleaning.co.uk, and we’ll work to address these issues promptly.
Following each clean, you’ll receive an automatic email the next day to gather feedback on your cleaner’s performance. We’ll follow up on any low ratings received. If your cleaner missed any areas during the service, please attach photos for reference.
We recommend contacting us as soon as possible, ideally within 48 hours of the completion of the clean. If you’ve decided you’d prefer a new cleaner, please let us know promptly to minimise any disruption to your service.
If you wish to change your regular cleaner for any reason, please inform us at info@pennyscleaning.co.uk. We’ll then arrange for the best available local cleaner to be matched with you. To minimise any disruption to your cleaning service, please provide us with more than 24 hours’ notice before your next booking.
When you make a booking with us, you’ll encounter a drop-down menu with the following options:
You can update or modify your access information at any time within your customer account. This information will apply to all of your recurring bookings.
Your spare key is kept safe by your cleaner between cleans.
We’ll assign a unique code to your key fob and instruct the cleaner to remove any identifiers linking it to you or your property. This ensures that only Penny’s Cleaning knows the property associated with the keys.
In the event, your cleaner takes a holiday:
Your spare keys will remain with your regular cleaner during their absence. They’ll be able to resume your cleaning service promptly upon their return.
If you prefer to have a replacement cleaner during their holiday, you’ll need to provide access to the cover cleaner.
Alternatively, if you wish to have your keys returned before your cleaner goes on holiday, you can request this for the next booking.
You can provide a spare set of keys to your cleaner for access when you’re not home.
If you’re a new customer, simply choose the relevant option from the drop-down menu under ‘cleaner access’.
For existing customers, log in to your customer account and add a note to your booking. You can then arrange to hand over your keys during an upcoming booking.
If your cleaner takes time off, we’ll ask them to hold onto the keys, ensuring they can resume the cleaning service upon their return. If you wish to book a replacement cleaner while your regular cleaner is away, you’ll need to provide access to your property for the cover cleaner.
After completing your cleaning service, your cleaner will secure your property according to any locking instructions provided in your customer account. If you’ve used a lockbox or hidden key access method, your cleaner will return the keys to their designated location. If you’ve entrusted your cleaner with spare keys, they’ll take these along when they leave.
To offer you peace of mind, we act as key holders for the majority of our clients. However, providing spare key access is ultimately your decision and is discretionary.
In the unlikely event of accidental key loss by either our cleaners or Penny’s Cleaning, we do not consider this a security risk to your home. Our system is designed to ensure that misplaced keys cannot be linked to your property. In such instances of accidental loss, Penny’s can cover the cost of cutting a new set of keys.
As many of our cleaners rely on public transport, you’ll need to provide a vacuum cleaner and a mop and bucket at the property.
If you have a cordless vacuum cleaner, please ensure it’s fully charged before your cleaner’s arrival.
While you’re welcome to use our cleaning products, if you prefer to use your own, please provide the following:
Please refrain from providing your cleaner with any specialised oven cleaning products. We do not undertake interior oven cleaning. These chemicals can potentially damage your kitchen surfaces, even with minor spills. If you decide to supply your cleaner with oven cleaning products, Penny’s Cleaning Ltd cannot be held liable for any resulting damages.
Unfortunately, no. Since many of our cleaners rely on public transport, you’ll need to supply a vacuum cleaner and a mop and bucket at the property for recurring cleaning services.
For optimal cleaning outcomes, it’s essential to provide your cleaner with a vacuum cleaner and a mop and bucket. If you own a cordless vacuum cleaner, please ensure it’s fully charged before your cleaner’s arrival.
Building a good relationship with your cleaner is essential for a great cleaning service. We will do our best to match you with a brilliant cleaner. Here are some tips to get started on the right foot:
By following these tips, you’ll help ensure a smooth and enjoyable cleaning experience.
When you schedule your cleaning service with Penny’s Cleaning, we’ll pair you with the most suitable local cleaner available at your chosen time. If we’re unable to find an exact match for your booked date, we’ll offer alternative cleaners with the closest availability.
In selecting cleaners, we seek individuals with a minimum of 1 year of professional cleaning experience. Our cleaners undergo thorough vetting and background checks, including in-person interviews, to ensure reliability and quality service.
We collaborate closely with our cleaners to optimise their schedules. Utilising software, we prioritise specific locations for cleaners, ensuring they work when they prefer and minimise travel time between jobs. Additionally, Penny’s Cleaning is dedicated to paying above the National Living Wage, making us an attractive choice for cleaners seeking employment opportunities with us.
Simply mention that you have pets when making a booking, and we’ll match you with a cleaner who we believe would be comfortable with them.
