How Our Regular Cleaning Service Works

Choosing the right person to clean your home is an important decision. Our job is to match you with a cleaner who understands what you need and can be trusted to care for your home properly, week after week.

At Home Sweet Home, regular house cleaning in Edinburgh is our main service. Most of our clients choose a weekly or fortnightly visit and build a long-term arrangement with the same reliable cleaner who gets to know their home and routine.

Why Choose Regular Cleaning?

A regular cleaner means your home stays consistently clean rather than returning to square one each time. Your cleaner learns your preferences and works to your priorities. Most of our customers stay with us for years because the arrangement becomes simple and dependable.

How Much Does a House Cleaner Cost in Edinburgh?

Our pricing is simple and transparent. Payment is split into two parts:

1. Cleaner’s hourly rate

Your cleaner is paid directly for the hours they work. Our current minimum cleaner rate is £14.50 per hour. Cleaners keep 100% of their wages.

2. Home Sweet Home membership

You pay a simple monthly membership fee to Home Sweet Home. This covers all administration, insurance, customer support, and ongoing management of your service. There are no hidden extras for ironing, oven cleaning or similar tasks completed within your booked time.

You will receive a clear quote before anything is confirmed.

How Long Does House Cleaning Take?

The time required depends on the size and condition of your home.

As a guide:

• A standard 2-bedroom property typically requires around 2-3 hours per visit.
• Larger homes, or properties with pets, smokers or heavier build-up, may need additional time.

We will recommend a realistic number of hours based on your property and how often you would like cleaning.

Our Our aim is consistency. Once the right number of hours is agreed, your cleaner follows a regular routine based on your priorities.
