Questions families ask

Do we provide the cleaning products?

Usually, for housework during care visits. Agree it at the start.

What's the difference between light housework and cleaning?

Light housework keeps on top of things during a care visit. A cleaner does a more thorough job. Many families use both.

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.
