"The home cleaning industry is very antiquated, with no provider offering both strong customer service and top quality cleaning. We took time to understand exactly what customers want and, to be totally sure, I've cleaned nearly 100 homes myself in the 'housekeeper' role! That experience was incredibly valuable and has guided how we recruit, train and supervise our housekeepers.

We are delighted to have such a strong investor group involved and they know we will be drawing on their expertise to help us grow the business rapidly."
