Do you tip one time cleaning?

Your non-recurring cleaning service comes with absolutely no pressure to tip. The cleaning specialists on the Handy platform won’t be expecting anything extra, but many customers opt to add a gratuity for a job well done. If you do decide to tip then you can do so on our app with the same credit card that you used for your original booking. Handy takes zero commission on gratuities and ensures that every single cent goes to into your pro’s wallet.

How much does one time cleaning cost?

What you’ll be charged for your one-time cleaning service depends entirely upon the size of your job and scale of your home. If you’re in a one-bed apartment, three hours (our minimum bookable timeframe) should give your pro enough time to get the place sparkling. A larger home will require more time and be charged at slightly higher rates. Give us as much info as you can and we will connect you with an experienced professional that can tailor the job to suit your specific needs. Handy sets the price in advance, so there’s no need to negotiate with your specialist. Once you reach the booking page, we’ll give you a one-time fixed quote that won’t be subject to change. We pride ourselves on transparent pricing that takes the risk out of one time home cleaning services.

Does one time cleaning include laundry?

A single cleaning session will see your home sparkle from top to toe. If you’d like to add a laundry service on to your job then simply check the laundry box and prepare to watch your pro breathe new life into your linen. Taking the tedium out of washing and drying, your expert will also fold all laundry for you, just don’t go expecting any origami swan towels on your bed when you get home, because they’re harder than they look! Laundry will add on approximately one hour to your standalone clean. Why not take a look at our extensive range of extras including oven and fridge cleaning?

How long should my one time cleaning take?

The timeframe for your job depends on the size of your home and what you want done. A three-hour minimum booking will give your professional plenty of time to tackle a one bed/bathroom apartment, but a larger house will take a little longer. Give us as much information possible about what you want and a ‘best guess’ at how long you think things will take. You’ll be in constant contact with your single cleaning service provider once the job is booked, so if you have any queries or last-minute changes, you can discuss things further with them directly.

What is included in one-time cleaning?

It’s your cleaning service, so you can include a simple clean or some one-off extras during your non-commitment clean, it’s entirely up to you. Seeing as Handy finds the most exceptional local experts in the market, your one-time clean will bring with it fully vacuumed carpets and floors, polished work surfaces, blitzed bathrooms (that will be left smelling fresher than ever) and full garbage disposal duties. We hand-pick specialists with a real eye for detail, so you can rest assured that they will work quickly and thoroughly to have your home looking its very best. You can add on other extras too, such as cleaning the kitchen hob or washing those sticky jelly fingermarks off the front of the fridge!

Is one-time cleaning tax deductible?

Handy’s top tip when it comes to tax has to be - speak to your accountant. While we’d love to be able to offer you tax advise, your best bet is to discuss the matter with your financial advisor.
