Hiring a cleaner can go a long way towards a harmonious home. Hiring one to suit your needs will surely make life sparkle!

For a busy household a professional clean is no longer seen as a luxury. However, doing the job well takes time, typically your cleaner will need up to around 4 hours a week. You might even have two cleaners sharing the job and both will need to enter your house.

McCreery Contract Cleaning understand that for customers and especially those who commute, they might have a difficult time letting someone in to clean their home weekly because of the practicalities.

With the current balmy temperatures set to carry on into September we wanted to share some of our top summer ready cleaning tips to ensure that you are set for the weeks ahead.

Garden Makeover

Summer is the season of barbeques, garden parties, al fresco dining and watching sunsets with a tall drink! Get those gardens and outdoor spaces looking their best for the summer. Clearing the guttering is a must for summer along with weeding, sharpening the lawn edges and cutting back on overgrowth. Dust off the patio furniture and add a splash of colour to the garden with bright bedding plants. Give your outdoors a little make over with cushions, bunting and lanterns. Check out our outdoor maintenance service if you need a little helping hand.

We’ve been in business for almost 20 years. Having grown from a small company with a handful of staff to now employing over 70 people, we know that our biggest asset is the team that we have built. It is very gratifying to be in a position to create employment. We couldn’t do it without the hard-working and dedicated people who liaise with our corporate and domestic clients on a daily bases.

As McCreery Contract Cleaning continue to grow, we are always looking to expand our team. Here are some benefits of working with us, or indeed engaging us to work for you.

Professional Qualifications:

We are hearty enjoying the current heatwave but it does raise the question of employee wellbeing. Working six to three doesn’t quite have the same ring to it as nine to five, but what does Dolly Parton know about the cleaning industry? Time never stands still for us at McCreery Cleaning Solutions, so we’ve replaced ‘summer time’ with ‘heatwave time’.

With the recent heatwave that has swept the country, we decided to take a leaf out of English Manager Gareth Southgate’s book who has been praised for his family centred approach to managing players and their wellbeing. Our team work incredibly hard and they are very conscientious. Their wellbeing is important to us so following consultation with the team and new working hours have been introduced to accommodate them and their families.

When considering hiring a professional cleaner, many people ask themselves ‘is it worth the money?’ We see clients, friends and family trying their best to have a career and run a household. It’s a challenge. For some having a cleaner is a necessity to achieve balance for the family and get quality time for themselves.

Should you go pro? This is a consideration that each family needs to make however there are some clear benefits and cost savers for those that decide to hire a professional.

Benefits of a hiring a professional cleaner

With almost 20 years of professional cleaning experience we’ve picked up a few tips and tricks along the way! Throughout May we’ve been sharing some of our favourite cleaning hacks with our fans on Facebook and now we’d like to share them with you!

Lemon Microwave Magic!

Lemon juice cuts through grease easily and is one of the most effective ways to clean a microwave. Place the juice and rind of a full lemon in a microwavable bowl, top up halfway with water. Place the bowl in the microwave and turn it on for three to five minutes. The water will come to a boil and create steam that will loosen splatters and grime. Allow it to stand for a couple of minute then remove the bowl carefully (it’s hot!!) and wipe the microwave clean. Voilà!
