What usually costs extra?
Inside ovens, fridges, cupboards and interior windows can take much longer than standard surface cleaning, so they are commonly quoted separately. Heavy build-up can also turn a maintenance clean into a deep clean.
The exact Marry a Mop scope is confirmed before booking. You can also see the dedicated What’s Included checklist.
