Domestic house cleaning is regular residential cleaning of your home on a schedule that suits you. Optus Glean UK provides it to the same standards as our commercial work - PAYE-employed, DBS-checked (Disclosure Scotland / AccessNI in Scotland and Northern Ireland) cleaners, a documented task list, and fixed monthly pricing paid by Direct Debit rather than cash-in-hand.
What regular domestic cleaning covers
A regular clean keeps the home consistently maintained: kitchens and surfaces, bathrooms, floors (vacuum and mop), dusting, touchpoints, and waste, to a task list agreed with you. Frequency is yours - weekly, fortnightly, or more often. It is the residential version of the documented approach we bring to commercial cleaning, so nothing is left to guesswork.
Why PAYE and DBS matters for home cleaning
Letting someone into your home is a trust decision. Unlike much of the domestic market, which runs on cash-in-hand or gig labour, every Optus Glean UK cleaner is directly employed and DBS-checked (Disclosure Scotland / AccessNI in Scotland and Northern Ireland) before their first visit, with a named relief for cover. The reasoning is set out in our DBS checks for cleaners guide.
Fixed monthly pricing, not cash-in-hand
You pay a fixed monthly fee by Direct Debit against your agreed schedule - no cash left on the counter, no negotiating each visit, and the business is fully insured. The budget is known for the year, and the same cleaner attends each time wherever possible.
One-off and deep cleans
Alongside a regular schedule we provide one-off and periodic deep cleans - spring cleans, pre- or post-move resets, and detailed jobs - through our deep cleaning service. Domestic deep cleans are typically priced from around £150 to £300 by home size, or £18 to £25 per hour per cleaner.
The same standard as our commercial contracts
Domestic clients get the discipline we bring to business premises: trained operatives, COSHH-assessed products, and accountability through a documented task list. If you also run a business, we can cover both under one relationship - see our commercial cleaning service.
