Life’s busy in Manchester—so it’s perfectly normal to book a clean when you’re not home. You might wonder: How do they get in? Is it safe? Will my stuff still be there? With 1GO Cleaning Services, we’ve got that covered.
Our system of professional cleaning guarantees that the cleaning will be safe, tension-free, and uninterrupted even when you are at work or out and about doing other chores. In this guide, I will take you through what exactly happens when you are not around, the methods of gaining access, communication, key security, and how we give you peace of mind at every stage.
1. Keys, Lockboxes & Smart Locks
The first point to be aware of is access when you are out. We suggest that one of the following three safe methods be used:
Key Lock box / Key Safe
A key safe (also called a lockbox) is a robust box that you fit to the wall and leave a spare key there. You give us the code, and when the cleaning is completed, the key is replaced. These safes are weatherproof and police certified.
Secure Key-Handling
Other clients like to hand over the key to our central team. It is signed in and out by a cleaner who picks it up and returns it- so there is an audit trail.
Smart Lock Connection
With a smart lock, it is possible that we can be authorised to unlock your door remotely. You simply make sure we are provided with access codes beforehand.
According to the conversations on Reddit UK, there is trust when hosts are met by cleaners first, then a key is left when they feel confident. That is precisely how we begin: a brief introductory cleanse to allow you to relax your mind.
2. Communication and Pre-Clean Setup
We are completely in touch even when you are not at home:
Pre-Clean Briefing
You will get a synopsis the night of your cleaning:
Date, time, name of cleaner, method of key, and estimated time.
Day-of Updates
We will send you a ping on the day when the cleaner arrives and when they complete the job. It is good to know that we have arrived and have vacated, especially when you are in the area.
Get Your Place Ready
If time permits, the previous evening:
- Clear out the clutter so that the place can be cleaned.
- Display where your key safe is and place the code in the app or by text.
This “general tidy before arrival” is recommended by us so that the cleaners do not have to waste time sorting out your clutter. One of the delays occurred where a client left everything in the foyer, after they cleared the foyer the cleaner sailed through.
3. Reliable, Monitored, and Safe
We understand that trust is all you need when not at home. That is why we make efforts to provide professionalism and transparency:
DBS Vetted and Insured Cleaners
The people that we employ are DBS-checked, thoroughly vetted, and insured- so you can be certain that your home is in good hands.
Photo-Verified Completion
When the cleaning is completed, we reply to you with photos of important locations such as hallways, kitchen, and bathroom to allow you to check the results remotely.
Key Return and Audit Trail
In case of a key safe, the cleaner leaves it and locks it. When we do the key collection, there is a sign-out and sign-in record.
Re-clean Guarantee
In case you notice we overlooked something, simply send us a message and we will come back–no additional fee. That is our promise of a soft reassurance.
Clients frequently post on Rated People that it makes them feel at ease when they are out of the house, since a cleaner arriving on their own with a key is otherwise intimidating.
4. Final Checks / Peace of Mind After-Clean
After the cleaning is finished, you will:
- Get a completion text with a timestamp.
- Look at before-and-after pictures of such clean areas as the living room, kitchen, and bathroom.
- Get assurances that keys are locked again.
- Be asked to write in case there are wrong quibbles.
In that case, you can enter a new home, or visit later on, and be thoroughly convinced that all is right–just as if you had been there yourself.
Conclusion
Hiring a cleaner when you are not home should not feel dangerous. At 1GO Cleaning Services Manchester, you will have:
- Safe entry through a key safe or a smart lock
- Effective communication of pre- and post-cleanup
- Quality-verified, insured cleaners
- Final photos and major audit records
