Cleaning homes across Leith

The EH6 postcode area is made up largely of flats. Around Leith Walk, Easter Road and Bonnington you'll find traditional Victorian tenement buildings, while The Shore, Western Harbour and Ocean Terminal have seen thousands of modern apartments built over the last two decades. There are also smaller terraces and family homes around Leith Links and neighbouring residential streets.

Why Regular Cleaning is So Popular in Leith

Leith has one of Edinburgh's youngest populations, with large numbers of young professionals, couples, first-time buyers and young families. Many households have two adults working full time, leaving less time for cleaning during the week.

Most homes in EH6 are one or two-bedroom flats, meaning they can usually be kept clean with just two or three hours of regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning. For many households, the cost is small compared with the time and effort it saves, allowing them to enjoy a consistently clean home without spending evenings or weekends catching up on housework.

How Long Does House Cleaning Take?

1-bedroom flat: around 2 hours
2-bedroom flat: around 2–3 hours
3-bedroom home: around 3–4 hours
Larger family homes: typically 4–5 hours or more

Weekly or fortnightly cleaning keeps dirt from building up, meaning your cleaner can spend more time maintaining a consistently high standard of cleanliness rather than catching up each visit.

How Much Does a Regular Cleaner Cost?

Our pricing is simple and transparent. There are two parts to the cost:

1. Your cleaner's hourly rate

You pay your cleaner directly for the hours they work. Our current minimum cleaner rate is £14.50 per hour, and your cleaner keeps 100% of their hourly wage.

2. Home Sweet Home membership

You also pay a simple monthly membership fee to Home Sweet Home. This covers administration, insurance, customer support, and the ongoing management of your cleaning service, including matching you with a suitable cleaner and arranging holiday cover when required.
