Loxford (IG1)

I had the pleasure of having Adrian as my house cleaner for the first time, and I feel incredibly lucky to have found him. Adrian went above and beyond in every aspect of his job, setting a standard of cleanliness and professionalism that is truly commendable. Although it was my first time using Adrian, he showed an unparalleled dedication to not just meeting, but exceeding expectations. His attention to detail is remarkable and, it's evident that Adrian takes great pride in his work (even attending to the toilet rolls). While Adrian has exceptional cleaning skills, he is also professional. He was easy to communicate with, understanding what needed to be done, making the entire process seamless and hassle-free. Also, his friendly and positive attitude lifted the environment. I look forward to working with Adrian again.

Overall it was great! But the oven's top part wasn't clean. I think it was missed because you normally don't look at the top part. The bottom part was cleaned properly!
