For our last #TLCofthemonth award of the year, we wanted to give special recognition to our Trusted Local Cleaners who have received above and beyond reviews, based on the challenging circumstances we’ve found ourselves in this year.

To say this year has been challenging would be an understatement. Since March 2020, our Members, along with millions of other businesses, saw a significant amount (if not all) of their work disappear overnight. Once Government guidelines deemed it safe to do so, their work could resume, and cleaning operatives played and continue to play, a key role during this pandemic.

The special recognition winners for 2020 are:

C2 Carpet Care

"We needed someone to come and clean our large lounge carpet at short notice and were recommended Jon, he did everything to manage to fit us in. We had only just had the lounge painted so was a little bit worried but Jon was an absolute professional. Top quality machinery and a top quality job. Great knowledge of the job and excellent customer service. He was also excellent with his social distancing and PPE during the current pandemic. You really do get what you pay for. Thanks Jon, great work. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again or recommend!"

Fitz2Kleen

"These people went above & beyond today & got my flat EXACTLY how i wanted it. They ALL worked SO SO hard i was SO proud of them. What an absolutely FABULOUS company. They left , leaving me with the BIGGEST smile on my face. And what amazing friends I have made with a VERY very wonderful couple xxx I HIGHLY recommend these people for your job. They are all truly remarkable & nothing is too much trouble. WELL DONE for FINALLY giving me my home back. It is first time I have called it home for MANY MANY years. Friends forever now.

ProCarpet Clean

"This chap, John, knows his job inside out. He came fully equipped with face mask, over shoes and disinfectant spray to ensure safety. It was 30 degrees but not once did he falter. 2 sofas, large rug, sitting room, hall, stairs and landing carpets. All vacuumed and cleaned to a very high standard. Amazing job. Would recommend ProCarpet Clean without hesitation. Thank you John."

In Depth Cleaning Specialist

"Chris has an in-depth knowledge of his industry, an in-depth understanding of client expectation and finally an in-depth commitment to providing a first class end result. Our recent property purchase in Ellesmere has now been given a new lease of life with carpets and solid wood floors returned to their former glory. Chris – you are a star. Thank you."

Congratulations to all our special recognition winners!
