What this covers
A domestic cleaner keeps a home in order on a regular basis: vacuuming and washing floors, cleaning bathrooms and the kitchen, dusting, changing bed linen and tidying up. It is different from post-construction cleaning or deep upholstery washing, which need their own equipment and products. The work usually repeats on an agreed rhythm: weekly, fortnightly, or only when needed.
What people ask for most

- Changeover clean between holiday guests

Timing and emergencies
Cleaning is rarely an emergency, but some dates do not move: guests checking in, a rental handover, an inspection. Book a few days ahead and say up front how large the home is and what state it is in. Grease left in the kitchen and mould in bathroom grout only make the job longer and harder.
How to choose well
- Ask whether they bring their own products and vacuum or use the ones you have
- Agree how many hours the visit covers and which tasks are left out
- Ask for references from homes or rentals they clean regularly
- Mention pets, allergies and delicate floors such as wood or stone

Frequently asked questions
How often should a home be cleaned?
It depends on how many people live there and how much time you have for it. Many households book a weekly or fortnightly visit and add a deep clean once or twice a year. In holiday rentals, cleaning happens between stays instead.
How is the price for home cleaning agreed?
You and the cleaner agree it directly, usually by the hour or per visit. HomeFix takes no commission and never handles the money. Give the size of the home, the number of bathrooms and the tasks you want so the offers you receive are realistic.
How do I find a cleaner near me on Madeira?
Post the task in the HomeFix app with your parish, the size of the home and how often you need it. Cleaners working in that part of the island reply with offers and you can message them in the chat before deciding. Nobody sits between you and them.
Does a cleaner bring their own equipment?
Some do, some expect to use what is already in the home. It matters more than it sounds, because a household vacuum and a cupboard of half-empty sprays slow the work down. Settle it in the chat before the first visit.
