You can rest assured that they will take great care of your personal space and bring a level of attention to detail that will shock and astonish you.

The stress of returning to a home that is indistinguishable from a dumpster at the end of the day can’t be underestimated. If you live alone, it can even make you feel guilty. Once your day is done, you want to come home to an environment that you can be proud of. One that you can welcome people back to, without fear of judgement. Luckily, you can relax and know that your reliable and dependable housekeeper will leave things in a state that will be sure to impress even the most picky critics.

Housekeeping bookings are available between the hours of 7 AM and 11 PM, 7 days a week. We know your life is busy, so let Handy flex to fit it — not the other way around.

Atinuke B.

Daniel was very thorough, fast and pleasant. He has a good energy that made the whole experience great.

Chesca L.

Good cleaning but she moved things around in the bedroom which hadn't been requested e.g. Plantpot from dresser to windowsil

Koran K.

Took her time to pay attention to detail. She was great. Best cleaner we’ve had from this service.

Susan C.

Katrina works hard to make sure your house looks great. She is reliable and has a pleasant personality. I'm happy to have her on my pro team.

Amina B.

Michelle was very friendly. However, I felt she took a little too long in the kitchen, so much so that she did not have enough time in the other areas of the house. I usually get routine weekly cleanings and the cleaner multitasks so that she's not spending too much time in any given room while having to neglect other rooms. Tip: spray the kitchen counters and bathroom first and then go to other rooms while the spray is working and tidy up there, etc.

Kobi R.
