About ironing and laundry

What it usually involves

Washing, drying, ironing and putting away, either in your home or collected and brought back. It's often one of the first jobs to slip when life gets busy, or when bending and lifting get harder.

How a self-employed cleaner can help

They can come at a regular time, work to how you like things done, and fit in around other cleaning if you want both.

Questions worth asking

Do you work in my home, or collect and return?

Why I started Carers & Cleaners

When my mum, Jean, was diagnosed with dementia, I found it surprisingly hard to find good local help. In the end we found a wonderful independent carer, and later a cleaner, by word of mouth. I built Carers & Cleaners so other families don't have to rely on luck.
