Makes me wonder if they ever take time off! I would not hesitate to recommend Time For You in every respect.”

Is having pets at home a problem?

No, this is completely fine.  When we interview cleaners, we check if cleaners have any phobias, allergies or preferences around working with pets.  If you have pets, we will make sure  that the cleaner we match you with is comfortable around pets. If you have a dog for example, some of our cleaners are happy to let them out while they are cleaning. We also have the appropriate dog walking  insurance and on request, can  arrange a cleaner who will be happy to take your dog for a walk.  We have recently matched a customer who has snakes, with a cleaner who also has snakes!!

Fight Furniture Stink

If your pet has couch privileges (or thinks he does), your furniture can start to smell like the dog park. Sprinkle baking soda on your cushions to freshen them, let it sit for 15 minutes, and vacuum it up. We also like Febreze Pet Odour Eliminator to quickly keep upholstery smelling nice in between deeper cleanings.

it's always a joy receiving them, so thank you! xx

" Thanks guys for firstly organising our deep clean and then supplying us with our regular cleaner. My wife has constantly talked about how her life would be made so much easier with a house cleaner, so I thought I would just organise it for her as a surprise as part of her birthday present. seriously, I am now the best thing since sliced bread. Recommend it to anyone.  Really helpful, professional and personable."

John P.  CM1

"Just wanted to say a huge thank-you for Donna. She came this morning and did her 2 hours. She is so lovely and did a first rate job - perfect."

Kate & Alan V.  CM3

"LOVE OUR NEW CLEANER!! I really wish we had done this years ago. That feeling of dread every weekend, knowing I had 4 hours of cleaning after a busy week at work, has now gone. I am literally elated. Thank you Time for You. The name is so apt!

Things in your home that you should be cleaning!

How many times a day do you touch your remote controls? And how many times can you honestly say you’ve cleaned yours? More than likely it's near enough zero. A study conducted by the University of Virginia, found that half the remote controls tested contained cold viruses. To get rid of these germs once and for all, you can  grab an disinfectant wipe and apply a quick scrub at least once a month.

Did you know...

1. Britain’s first ever public audio broadcast was made from Chelmsford on June 15, 1920. The broadcast featured the singing of Australian opera diva, Dame Nellie Melba. It was said to have been received as far away as Newfoundland

2. Chelmsford is the birthplace of radio after Marconi opened the world’s first wireless factory in the town in 1899.

3. Chelmsford, Massachusetts was founded by emigrants from Chelmsford in 1653.

Our most fun review. Thank you!

"Wow! I know this sounds a bit over the top, but I have dreamt of having a cleaner for years! I dreaded Saturdays as that was my chore day, the whole thing seemed to just eat into my weekend!! So when Stephen came round to tell us how it all worked, I was literally jumping for joy! I felt like a little girl and I have to apologise for being a little too familiar by hugging Stephen before he left, haha. But then Time for you have taken the stress out of my weekend and like they say on the website, have given me 4 hours of my time back a week, which I calculated works out to 208 hours a year, which I think is near enough 3 weeks. Well worth it! I am so pleased with our house cleaner they have matched me with and the wonderful job she is doing. Customer care is fantastic!!! Thank you"

Dishwasher DO’S & DON’TS

Dishwashers are an invention that have changed our lives and freed up a lot of time in the kitchen which otherwise would have been spent washing and drying all the dishes by hand. Using a dishwasher can also be better for the environment. However, in order to get the best out of your dishwasher, here are some do’s and don’ts.

Do use all the space you can and try and stack the dishwasher in the most efficient way. Put bigger pieces in first and then fill the smaller items around them.

Don’t overfill the utensil holder. If you cram too many in, not all of them will be cleaned sufficiently.

Don’t rinse plates before putting them in the dishwasher. Scrape the plates to ensure the larger bits of food have been removed but rinsing the plates will use additional water and modern dishwashers can cope with food residue on plates as long as you run the dishwasher that day and don’t leave them standing there too long.

Do run a full load. Dishwashers are a great way to be efficient with water, however if you only run half loads, water will in fact get wasted.

Don’t overload the dishwasher. Although you should only do full loads, don’t go to the other extreme and overfill. You run the risk that not everything will be completely clean, resulting in you having to wash them again (and wasting both water and electricity).

Do run the dishwasher at night. Waiting until later in the evening can lower your electricity bill. It also makes sense as you can place all the dishes from the entire day into the dishwasher and wash them all in one go.

Don’t unload the top drawer first. Sometimes the upper dishwasher rack can store water. If you empty these items first, you can end up getting the dry items on the bottom level wet.

Do use Rinse Aid - using this regularly will guarantee a better, shinier clean.

Do clean the dishwasher regularly. Inspect the drain for bits of food and remove them before running the machine again. Also use dishwasher cleaner once a month on an empty cycle to keep the machine clean.
