All you have to do is fill out our secure booking form, selecting the day you’d like us to clean your home. Once you have completed your booking you will receive a confirmation email instantly. Following this, we will be in touch for final details before proceeding with your service.
It’s ok if you don't want to book online - we have a dedicated Customer Service Team here at Gleem!

We can then advise on the best service to meet your needs. From there, provide your telephone number and one of our Customer Service Team will give you a call back. Don’t worry, booking over the phone doesn’t take very long as our team will take you through the same process that we use on the online booking page. This way, you can feel confident booking online next time! Alternatively, email us at hello@gleem.co.uk and leave your number so that the team will call you back.
Our cleaners are the best paid in Bristol. For years we were caught competing on the price we charged for our cleaning, which led to paying cleaners as little as possible...that's the wrong way. Paying too little leads to disengaged cleaners who are unreliable, show up late and don't do a good job. Now, we pay them as much as we can afford to, which is currently £15 per hour plus bonuses. This helps us find the best cleaners, invest in their training, set expectations and deliver a great quality clean.
Yes. We need to take payment information to book your appointment. If you book a regular service, we will place a hold on your card 2 days before to ensure that you have sufficient funds in your account. You will not be charged until the day after your cleaning has been successfully completed.
Due to our large pool of cleaners, we are usually able to accommodate this. The best way to book a last minute service is to call us ASAP on 0117 325 2772 or use our Live Chat function on the website and one of our Gleem Customer Service Representatives will be able to check last minute availability.
When you book your clean, you’ll decide which day of the week that you would like your clean to take place on. When a cleaner is assigned, they may let you know what time they plan to attend your booking; if they don’t then they will perform the clean any time between 9am and 5pm that day.
We're sorry to hear about this and are here to help. If your Gleem cleaner has called in sick to work or has a family emergency, they will let you know as soon as they can so that they can rearrange the service with you.
Typically, just one cleaner will come to your clean, if you have a regular service (weekly or fortnightly). The exception to this rule is for larger cleans (normally one time bookings) which take a very long time - when these are booked, our normal procedure would be to send two or more Gleem cleaners in order for the service to be completed in less time and to be less intrusive for you. If you NEED to have more than one cleaner, please contact us by emailing hello@gleem.co.uk with your request and giving a reason for this, it will then be down to our discretion, as well as whether scheduling allows it, to send multiple Gleem cleaners.
For all customers with recurring services (ie weekly and fortnightly cleans) we aim to provide you with the same cleaner each time. They will introduce themselves to you at your first clean.
For all customers with recurring services (ie weekly and fortnightly cleans) we aim to provide you with the same cleaner each time. The more flexible you can be with your service days and times, the more likely it will be that you can have the same cleaner performing your service. On the rare occasion that you would like a different cleaner to the one who has been assigned to your clean, we recommend you talk to the cleaner first to see if the issue can be resolved directly. If this is not possible, please email hello@gleem.co.uk and the office team will work on re-assigning someone else. Please bear in mind that your increased flexibility with your service days will make this process much quicker for you. We would politely ask for a reason for the request so that we can monitor performance.
All Gleem cleaners are aware that they are to stay at the booking for the full duration. If they finish the tasks that have been set for them before the end of the booking, they will continue with a deeper clean. If this happens consistently, they will tell the office, and we will contact you to arrange a reduction in the cleaning duration needed. If you would like to reduce (or increase) the time you have booked, please speak to your cleaner who will let the office team know. Please note that we have a 2 hour minimum duration on all bookings.
After receiving your initial confirmation email when you make your booking, you will also receive a reminder via email 3 days before your booking.
The first person you should speak to should always be your cleaner - they will have given you their contact details at your first clean. However if you feel it is an escalated issue then you are welcome to contact the Gleem office. Gleem is a very small, local, independent company and so we have limited resources. As our phone lines are very busy we ask that you instead email hello@gleem.co.uk or use the Live Chat function on our website. The office is open between 9am and 5pm on Mondays to Fridays. If you must call but do not get a response, please do not persist with calling as this will create a backlog. We aim to return all missed calls, voicemails and emails within 1 working day.
Using your online account you will be able to select which individual cleans you wish to cancel; this is useful if you are on holiday or do not need your clean as a one off. You will be asked to give a reason for the cancellation when submitting it. You can also speak to your cleaner who will let the office know to cancel this off of the booking system. To cancel all future cleans, you would do this in the same way as above. You will be asked to give a reason for the cancellation when you submit - this is to help us understand how we can better our service. We will be in touch with you when we receive your cancellation to briefly ask a few details. Before cancelling all future cleans, we respectfully ask that you speak with your cleaner or the office team first as we would appreciate the opportunity to iron out any issues before you feel it necessary to cancel. The best way to get in contact with the office team is to email hello@gleem.co.uk
For recurring bookings you are free to ask your cleaner to perform whatever cleaning tasks you need most, just communicate with them to tell them what it is you feel that you need.
For one-time bookings Gleem offers a number of additional extras that can be booked in addition on to one or all of your bookings. The additional extras include:
All the prices are available on our website on the pricing page. These services, in normal circumstances, should be booked in advance. If you decide on the SAME DAY as your clean that you require additional services, please advise your cleaner as they will need to inform the office team to add this additional cost to your booking.
For regular cleaning we offer an hourly service; details of which you can discuss with your cleaner to determine the cleaning you require.
For one time services we offer either a Deep clean or a Move In/Move Out. A deep clean is a thorough clean which is recommended for you if your house hasn't been cleaned professionally in the last three months. Move in/move out cleans are for people moving in or out of the property and include extra items such as spot cleaning of all walls and cleaning inside all of your cupboards.
For an additional cost we also offer extra cleaning services: ironing, oven cleaning, inside fridge and freezer cleaning, inside window cleaning and professional carpet cleaning.
At the moment our cleaners work hard to make Bristol and Bath sparkle. Take a look at our cities pages to see a list of the areas in these cities where we clean. If you don't see where you live on these pages just get in touch at hello@gleem.co.uk and we will let you know if we clean in your area or when we plan to start to cleaning there.
You don't need to be home whilst we clean your house - please discuss with your cleaner how to access your property if you won’t be there to let them in. On your first clean with Gleem it is advisable that you are there to meet your cleaner so you can show them around your property and point out any areas that you would like us to focus on but we understand that isn't always possible.
Of course, please feel free to discuss key logistics with your cleaner.
Your cleaner will need to take a well deserved holiday from time to time and when they do they will communicate this with you so that you can reschedule. If you are unable to wait until they return, please contact the office by emailing hello@gleem.co.uk who will attempt to find you a replacement cleaner. The more flexible you can be with the days you are available, the more likely this will be. We advise that you are at the property for this clean as key transfer between you normal cleaner and current cleaner can sometimes not be possible.
The minimum amount of time you can have a week/fortnight is two hours. You can discuss with your cleaner the best way to use the 2 hours, which can include ironing.
By discussing with the cleaner at the initial meeting all your requirements, our cleaners can perform wonders in the most chaotic of houses!
Yes. We work all Bank Holidays. If you have a regular booking, this will automatically repeat at your chosed frequency, even if it lands on a bank holiday. If you don't want to have your clean on a bank holiday, just reschedule with us using the app or via email (hello@gleem.co.uk), just remember to give us more than 48 hours notice!
If you have booked a regular service, you will need to provide the supplies for your Gleem cleaner to use. If you have booked a one time service, your Gleem cleaner will come fully equipped with all supplied needed. This handy list of supplies may help you to fill your supplies cupboard if you are providing your own supplies:
If you have booked a recurring service, you will be providing your own supplies. If you have a one time service, your Gleem cleaner will bring a plethora of supplies. If you have any specialist supplies that you would like used, please provide these and inform the cleaner when they arrive. If you are providing all of the supplies: please let your cleaner know which of your supplies should be used on which part of the clean. They will inform the office team to add these details to your booking notes for you.
We've built technology that means you can log all your important information in your online account which will then display on your Gleem cleaner’s mobile App ready for each clean. There are a few different types of information that you might want to give your Gleem cleaner and here's where to put that information:
When you've made the changes, make sure you’ve saved and then you can exit your account.
For regular bookings, you’ll be emailed a checklist that you can print out for your cleaner each time you have a clean: tick the items you want on this sheet, or write/agree your own for your cleaner. For one time services our cleaners work to a pre-determined checklist that we guarantee to complete before we leave your property. They work through your home, ticking off the tasks as they complete them. Once they have finished all of the tasks on the checklist they leave the checklist behind for you. These ways ensure that you can be confident that all of the tasks have been completed to the highest Gleem standard.
A deep clean is for first-time customers or customers who haven't had their home professionally cleaned in the last three months. To see what’s included in a deep clean, check our booking page.
At Gleem we refer to end of tenancy cleans as ‘Move In/Move Out’ cleans because sometimes you need a really thorough clean when you are moving in or out of a new home. Our cleaners work to a checklist for move in/move out cleans which includes spot cleaning all the walls and cleaning inside all the cupboards but if there is a specific task you want your cleaning team to focus on then please let them know.
We can arrange for a professional carpet cleaner to clean your carpets at a cost of £48 per room. All you have to do is select carpet cleaning on our online booking form and how many rooms you would like cleaned and we will take care of the rest.
We use a number of different, high quality, professional carpet cleaning machines. Relax knowing that all are professional, high quality machines and will do a great job of making your carpets sparkle!
We estimate around 45 minutes per room dependent on size.
We will work the duration of the clean out to include the time for the carpets to be cleaned.
No, please let the carpets to dry for at least a few hours (overnight if possible) before walking on them.
Our ironing service is purely an add on to your clean. Whilst we are happy to iron anything that you require, we are not specialized in this service.
We only employ only the most reliable and experienced cleaners in your area, we have a dedicated customer service team to help you, and we use a state of the art booking system to make it really simple for you to book a clean.
We guarantee that you will be delighted by the results of your clean. If for some reason you are not then please let us know within 48 hours by emailing hello@gleem.co.uk with photographic evidence so that we can arrange for a reclean. Please note that failure to produce photographic evidence within this time will negate the Gleem Guarantee.
Gleem want to give your home the love it deserves and make it sparkle. We don't think you should spend your precious time searching for a trusted cleaner. So why not let us do the hard work and find you a quality, reliable cleaner who fits in around your life? We have made it easy with our 60 second online booking process.
We are always appreciative of feedback that you can give about your clean. The easiest way to do this is by replying to the feedback email that is sent to you after your clean has been completed. The email will ask you to rate your clean as “Great”, “OK, or “Bad” - in the same email you also have the option to leave specific comments as to why you rated your clean in this way. We ALWAYS want the rating to be “Great”, so if you have rated it in any other way, we will investigate the situation with your Gleem cleaner to ensure that next time you feel completely happy with the service that you are being provided. For you information, each month, cleaner’s reviews help towards rewarding a cleaner of the month. They also contribute towards the cleaner’s ‘Level Up Scheme’ which gives all cleaners the opportunity for a pay rise every 3 months. Please bear in mind, the rating is for the clean itself, so if you have issues about anything else, please contact the office to address this rather than using the email rating facility as this will affect the cleaner’s chances for pay rise and promotions. If you need to give feedback about anything other than the clean please speak to your cleaner or contact the office team by emailing hello@gleem.co.uk. If you rate your clean as “bad” - we will ask for you to send photographic evidence within 48 hours so that we can arrange for a reclean. Please note that failure to produce photographic evidence within this time will negate the Gleem Guarantee. As well as a promotion scheme for cleaners, there is also a disciplinary process, so any bad ratings will contribute towards this.
We hire only the most motivated, reliable and experienced cleaners in your area. To be accepted as a cleaner for Gleem all our candidates must undertake a rigorous selection and recruitment process. The first stage is a telephone interview, followed by a second stage test clean with a face to face interview. If they pass these we will perform a reference check before hiring.
We are a close knit team here at Gleem and we have got a close relationship with all of our cleaners. We pride ourselves on allowing our cleaners to work flexibly and we pay more than other cleaning companies do with a clear promotion scheme in place to reward those with the best performance.
We do have a referral scheme. Once you have booked a clean with Gleem you will be given your own personal Gleem referral code: you will also find this code when you manage your booking online. All you have to do is share your code with your friends, colleagues and family. When someone uses your code to book a Gleem clean they will get £10 off their first clean and you will get £10 off your next clean.
We charge an hourly rate for recurring services to ensure that your are guaranteed for your cleaner to spend a precise amount of time in your property. If you ever want to increase or decrease your duration, please let them know; they will contact the office team to ensure you are charged accurately.
We charge a flat rate price so that you know exactly what we promise to provide, and our cleaners keep working until the job is done. One time services are much harder to accurately predict the amount of time they’ll take and we’d hate to leave because the timer is up, without having finished your clean. Your cleaner uses a checklist so you know exactly what is included in the price.
Yes absolutely:
15% off for fortnightly
20% off for weekly
25% off for multiple cleans per week
