How can we help?

Find answers to common questions about our cleaning services,

bookings, and account management.

How do I book a clean?

Simply fill out our secure booking form and select your preferred cleaning date. Once submitted, we'll send you an acknowledgement email. If your chosen slot is available, we'll follow up with a confirmation. If not, we'll be in touch to discuss other options.

How do I reschedule or cancel a booking?

Log into your account and switch to the new interface. Your upcoming booking will be right there — it's straightforward to adjust your schedule, change dates, or cancel. Remember to give us at least 24 hours' notice to avoid cancellation fees.

Can I cancel all my bookings at once?

Yes! Switch to the new interface in your customer account, click the cancel button on your next booking, and you'll have the option to cancel just one or all future bookings. Please give at least 24 hours' notice.

Who will be cleaning my home?

For regular cleaning, you can find your cleaner's name in the 'Your Next Booking' section of your account. You'll have the same cleaner each time unless they're unavailable — we'll always check with you before sending a replacement.

How can I leave instructions for my cleaner?

When booking, include details in the 'special instructions' column. You can edit this anytime via 'Your Next Booking' > 'Make Changes'. Add info about property access, alarm systems, cleaning preferences, product locations, and pets.

When is payment taken?

Payment is usually processed around 5pm on the day of your cleaning. We place a hold on your card the day before to ensure funds are available. When you first join or update payment details, your bank may show a £0.00 active card check.

How do I change my address?

Click on your name in your customer account, then select 'Manage Addresses' from the drop-down menu to update your address details.

How do I reset my password?

Go to the login page, enter your email, and click 'Forgot My Password'. You'll receive a reset link via email. Alternatively, if logged in, click your name > 'Change Password'.

How secure are my payment details?

We use Stripe, one of the world's largest and most secure payment platforms, to handle all payments. Your payment information is never stored on our servers.

How does the referral programme work?

When you refer a friend, they get a £10 discount and you earn £10 credit on your next booking. Enter your referral code in the discount field when booking. If you haven't received your code, email us at info@pennyscleaning.co.uk.

What if my cleaner is running late?

We apologise for any inconvenience. Email us at info@pennyscleaning.co.uk and we'll investigate promptly and keep you updated.

When will my cleaner arrive?

Your cleaner's arrival time is on your account homepage. We offer a 2-hour arrival window. You can reschedule without a fee with 24 hours' notice.

How do I contact Penny's support?

Call us at 01752 564456 or email info@pennyscleaning.co.uk. Office hours: Monday–Friday, 9am–4pm.

What's the cancellation policy?

We require at least 24 hours' notice before your scheduled cleaning. The cancellation fee is 70% of the booking cost.

How do ratings work?

After each booking, you'll receive an email with a simple smiley face rating system. This helps us maintain high standards and gives feedback to cleaners.

What's the minimum cleaning time?

The minimum booking is 2 hours. We recommend 2 hours for a 1-2 bedroom property with 1 bathroom, adding 30 minutes per additional room.

Are there any tasks my cleaner won't do?

For safety reasons, cleaners won't lift heavy items, clean exterior windows, handle biohazards, do gardening, defrost freezers, unblock pipes, or handle pest control.

Are there long-term contracts?

No contracts! You can cancel anytime without fees, as long as you give 24 hours' notice before your next scheduled booking.

How will I be reminded about upcoming cleans?

You can check your next scheduled clean in your customer account. We also send an automatic email reminder the day before your cleaning service.

What types of cleaning do you offer?

General Home Cleaning (weekly, fortnightly, or monthly), Deep Cleaning, and End-of-Tenancy Cleaning.

What's included in a general clean?

Kitchen, bathroom, and all rooms: surfaces, mirrors, bins, skirting boards, vacuuming & mopping. Bedrooms include bed making with fresh linen.

What does a deep clean include?

A thorough top-to-bottom cleaning including baseboards, corners, and frequently touched surfaces. Add-ons available: inside cabinets, inside windows, inside fridge.

What's included in an end-of-tenancy clean?

Our most comprehensive service: all reachable areas, appliance exteriors, deep kitchen/bathroom cleaning with descaling, windowsills, skirting boards, and full vacuuming/mopping.

How will my cleaner get access?

When booking, choose from: someone will be home, gate/lockbox code, hidden key, or other. You can update access info anytime in your account.

How are my spare keys managed?

Your cleaner keeps your spare key safe between cleans. We assign a unique code to the key fob and remove any identifying info.

How do you ensure my property's security?

After cleaning, your cleaner secures the property per your locking instructions. Our system ensures misplaced keys cannot be linked to your property.

What should I provide?

You'll need to provide a vacuum cleaner and mop & bucket. For cordless vacuums, please ensure they're fully charged.

Can the cleaner bring their own equipment?

Unfortunately no — since many cleaners rely on public transport, you'll need to supply a vacuum and mop & bucket at the property.

How is my cleaner selected?

We pair you with the most suitable local cleaner available at your chosen time. All cleaners have a minimum of 1 year's professional experience.

Will I always have the same cleaner?

Yes! For recurring bookings, you'll have the same cleaner each time.

What if I want a different cleaner?

Email us at info@pennyscleaning.co.uk and we'll arrange the best available local replacement.
