Avoid at all costs, not a cleaning company!

Where do I start...I had been using Gleam Cleaning for a few months and it was problematic from start to finish. The quality of the cleaning services is generally poor, meaning I had to request a new cleaner on multiple occasions. The customer service is also poor, as there is no contact number, with responses via email taking several days to arrive. To top it all off, their cleaners have caused over £700 worth of damage to my bathroom through complete and utter negligence. When I raised this issue with Gleam Cleaning directly, I was denied any form of compensation and instead sent the following response:

'Based on your email below it may be worth outlining the service we provide as there seems to be some misunderstanding here. As outlined in our terms here, which you accepted when booking, we are a matching service, bringing self employed providers together with consumers seeking cleaners. We do not directly employ the cleaners and so they are not our staff. We provide the technology platform as well as the background screening that ensures only top quality high rated cleaners are sent out to jobs. Pretty much all of the other online cleaning websites such as Housekeep, Fantastic Services, eMop etc operate under the same model.

In this way, you are employing the cleaner and issues around damage are between the cleaner and the client. We will of course always be happy to mediate when issues arise and 99% of the time we are able to do that without an issue. Unfortunately following this issue, although we have tried to work to resolve this with you it appears we have reached an end point in terms of our ability to assist you further in mediation.

As we have been thus far unable to find a resolution for you our only option is to refer you directly to the service provider.

Sorry we haven’t found a better outcome for you and hopefully this can be resolved soon. Apologies again for the inconvenience caused.'

In short, do not be suckered in by the promise of good customer service at a fair price. This company is a very poor service provider, and in their own words not a cleaning company at all but rather a 'matching service'. This will leave you exposed to having to cover all repair costs should your cleaner damage your property. Let alone should any theft occur at your property. Don't make my mistake, avoid this company at all costs.

Complete waste of time

Don't bother. 2x cancellations with very limited notice and then, after they enticed me back with a "premium offer", yet again no one showed up. This time they didn't even tell me.

Customer service is hot when they're selling you a subscription but basically unresponsive when there's an issue with the service. Only got a reply after leaving this review.

Dear Amos, We are sorry that after following up with you directly on this matter, we were unable to resolve this to your liking. We can confirm we had a short term booking fulfillment problem in this outer London area of Lea Valley, Enfield, Tottenham which is now resolved.

For the benefit of the reader; we always endeavour to ensure bookings go off without a hitch and we have stringent measures in place to ensure this. More than ninety five percent of clients and cleaners are happy with the outcomes we provide. From a customers' perspective when things have not worked out, in consultation with cleaners, we have developed the following top tip checklist which you should consider when booking to ensure everything goes well;
1. Book enough time, a cleaner can only do so much cleaning in a fixed period of time. If not enough time is booked your expectations of the results or the time for future bookings should be adjusted accordingly.
2. Provide the appropriate cleaning materials, this one is obvious. The most common issue is expecting your cleaner to be able to clean an oven without a proper oven cleaner, not going to happen.
3. The level of cleaning required and getting into a regular routine might mean, for recurring bookings, a gradual improvement while the first few cleans are carried out. For example a floor which hasn't been cleaned for two months will require far less effort when it's being cleaned every week vs the initial sessions while things are brought up to standard.
4. Your cleaner is working in a new place and your home is therefore a new place of work for this person. Make them feel welcome, if you're working at home get out of their way, and let them carry out the job they're so good at doing, no need to follow around or micro-manage. Providing a checklist can help though.
5. If you require a reliable and consistent service with the same cleaner, you should also be a reliable and consistent client; cancelling regularly, often changing times and days etc is likely to result in your cleaner requesting a client change which will result in reallocations to new cleaners more often.
Hope this helps!

Poor superficial clean with key areas missed

I have received consistently superficial cleans and raised the last one, which missed basic key bits like bathroom floors, bins and mirrors, for a review and response. I was told my concerns had been escalated to management and I would hear in 2 days, that was 7 days ago and despite chasers, I have received nothing in response.

Wow wow wow

Wow wow wow. I booked a weekly clean in with Gleam a month ago and what a life changer. My cleaner is polite, friendly, works around me when I’m at home and it has just given me back so much more free time.

The process to book is simple and you can manage your account online and the Gleam Team are super accommodating if I need to move the odd date and have organised a replacement when I haven’t been able to do the usual slot due to having visitors. Well priced, reliable, not over complicated and over priced like their competitors. Thanks Gleam!

Do not use!

I can only believe this is a scam. We booked a weekly clean for our home. A cleaner turned up once, did a terrible job and left early. I complained to the company and they said they'd assign someone else. For three weeks, I received emails the morning of the appointment saying that our cleaner wasn't available and the appointment was cancelled. I then decided to cancel the service, and was charged £14.99 cancellation fee. Awful! Avoid this company like the plague.

Hi Sarah Hampton, We are sorry that after following up with you directly on this matter, we were unable to resolve this to your liking. NB. This clients version of events is not quite what happened. After a first clean they asked for a new cleaner as did not like the first one, they were then not home for the second one and expected their cleaner to pay for the fact that they did not let us know they wouldn't be home. The cleaner travelled to their property, paid travel expenses, lost time, and other possible jobs and could not gain access. They confirmed they'd continue for the next one but then cancelled all future bookings the next time in less than 48hrs before their booking which was confirmed again with cleaner and so as per our terms a less than 48hrs cancellation fee of £14.99 was taken.

Unreliable company sent a useless cleaner

After two cancellations and waiting 3 weeks, my cleaner finally showed up. The cleaner had clearly not cleaned before as she used Fairy Liquid for everything, despite having a range of specialist cleaning products available. I had to show her how to clean a mirror and a glass surface as she made them worse.

After spending around an hour vacuuming 2 bedrooms and a hallway, I was still able to sweep up dust on the floor with my hand.

UPDATE: They just tried to bribe me to remove my review for a a refund

Hi Bruce Argue, We are sorry that after following up with you directly on this matter, we were unable to resolve this to your liking. NB. Offering a refund as a gesture of goodwill following a complaint is not in our view a bribe, but a basic customer service mechanism. Nevertheless your decision to refuse that is up to you.

Poor customer service

We’ve been using this company (their ‘ideal cleaning’) service since the end of last year. It always bothered me there wasn’t a customer service phone number but we’d had a generally decent experience with them and they were responsive about my initial enquiries.

Unfortunately we had a persistent issue with our (otherwise decent) cleaner being late and we couldn’t keep accommodating this. One day she didn’t show up (I had to leave the house 45 mins after the scheduled clean and no sign of her). They booked us a replacement clean for a few days later but charged for both cleans, the replacement cleaner did a really poor job. 2 1/2 weeks later I am still waiting for a resolution and have had very slow and unsatisfactory responses, with no way to actually speak to someone thanks to the lack of phone number.

Really disappointed as I was previously happy with the service

No show cleaner, still chasing refund

** They have finally processed the refund. In view of that, they asked me to remove this review. I declined. My experience was very frustrating and I would not recommend this company. **

*I’ve added details, as requested, emailed them again about the refund they promised weeks ago, and been met with radio silence.*

Wasn’t with them long. Had a cleaner not show up with no contact or notice. I was away and didn’t realize til I got home. Gleam charged me anyway. When I contacted them they organized a replacement clean (which was not to a high standard), they charged me for that too rather than offsetting it. Weeks later, I’m still chasing them for a refund of the clean that wasn’t. They were initially responsive but have ignored my last messages asking for a timeframe on the refund. Location was London, posting this from Ireland and it’s showing up as the location.

★☆☆☆☆ Very Disappointed

★☆☆☆☆ Very Disappointed – Unprofessional and Dishonest Service

I had a terrible experience with this cleaning agency. From start to finish, it was a complete disaster. The cleaners were clearly inexperienced and lacked basic cleaning knowledge—one even tried to fill my steam mop with Evian water, which was absolutely ridiculous and showed a complete lack of training.

Customer service was rude and dismissive when I raised concerns. Instead of helping, they were defensive and unprofessional. To make matters worse, a few of my items were damaged during the cleaning, and there was no accountability whatsoever.

This agency is not honest, not respectful, and certainly not worth the money. I strongly advise others to look elsewhere. Real disappointment.

We have been unable to determine who this person is. On requesting information via TrustPilot the client did not reply. We have no record of any booking with someone by the name of Eleanora at around the time of this review. Please reach out to us directly so we can attempt to look into this. NB. In fact putting bottled water into a steam mop is not so ridiculous. London water is very high in limescale and when distilled water is not provided for things such as steam irons or cleaning equipment we do advise to use bottled water which is far lower in limescale. Using high limescale tap water can cause damage to steam equipment.

Do not use this company!!

We bought £100 of cleaning products as Gleam Cleaning don't provide these, waited in at 12 for the cleaner to arrive for our booked & confirmed appointment and NO CLEANER CAME! No response from the company to our emails or online chat! There is also no number to call them. Terrible service and ruined our wedding anniversary as we had to cancel our plans to do the job ourselves as we had family arriving the next day.

We are sorry that after following up with you directly on this matter, we were unable to resolve this to your liking. NB. On this occasion the booked cleaner reported that they were unfortunately unwell and so was unable to attend at the time booked. This client was extremely unlucky here and a manager has been in contact on the day to try to personally rebook the client but unfortunately they have decided to cancel their booking with us. Regarding getting in touch by phone, although we do not have a direct phone line, we do have an instant online chat which can be accessed via your online booking on the website.

I am disgusted with this cleaning…

I am disgusted with this cleaning company and their services.
I cancelled a bi-weekly clean with them, and they proceeded to charge me. When I contacted them to advise I cancelled the clean and should be owed a refund, they ignored my request.
After following up again, they had actually charged me for 6 cleans when we only had 3.
The customer service is AWFUL, and the cleans are CRAP.
Do not book.

Hi Hannah Yule, We are sorry that after following up with you directly on this matter, we were unable to resolve this to your liking. NB. This client expected their cleaner to pay for the fact that they did not cancel with us. The cleaner travelled to their property, paid travel expenses, lost time, and other possible jobs, could not gain access and in line with our terms, as no cancellation was received, full payment was taken so that the cleaner could be paid. We can be contacted via email, via callback request, via our instant online chat service through online account, via contact form on our site, or via direct message through online account. None of these were forthcoming and client expected us or their cleaner to cover the cost of their own mistake in not letting us know. Please, if you are the type of person who cannot send a simple message to cancel and allow a provider to attend your property and stand outside on the street and be left there, and then expect them to pay for that, we are not the right service for you, book elsewhere!
For the benefit of the reader; we always endeavour to ensure bookings go off without a hitch and we have stringent measures in place to ensure this. More than ninety five percent of clients and cleaners are happy with the outcomes we provide. From a customers' perspective when things have not worked out, in consultation with cleaners, we have developed the following top tip checklist which you should consider when booking to ensure everything goes well;
1. Book enough time, a cleaner can only do so much cleaning in a fixed period of time. If not enough time is booked your expectations of the results or the time for future bookings should be adjusted accordingly.
2. Provide the appropriate cleaning materials, this one is obvious. The most common issue is expecting your cleaner to be able to clean an oven without a proper oven cleaner, not going to happen.
3. The level of cleaning required and getting into a regular routine might mean, for recurring bookings, a gradual improvement while the first few cleans are carried out. For example a floor which hasn't been cleaned for two months will require far less effort when it's being cleaned every week vs the initial sessions while things are brought up to standard.
4. Your cleaner is working in a new place and your home is therefore a new place of work for this person. Make them feel welcome, if you're working at home get out of their way, and let them carry out the job they're so good at doing, no need to follow around or micro-manage. Providing a checklist can help though.
Hope this helps! Gleam Team

Hi Maninder


Thanks for the feedback and we're pleased to see you have enjoyed our service.


We look forward to seeing you again soon. There are a number of Gleam cleaner services you may find useful in future including the ability to make one off or recurring bookings, as well as Specialist Moving (Tenancy) and SOS (Last Minute) Cleaning. We have also recently launched two new fantastic offerings; 'Gleam Express', for those who rent out on AirBnB etc and need regular tidying/cleans for next guests as well as 'Gleam for Business', specialising in small business settings such as offices, show rooms, galleries and retail outlets.


FYI we're a new start up, available across London and the UK, so if you're ever chatting to friends and they're looking for a new cleaner, we'd love it if you could refer them on to us (you can benefit too - www.gleam.cleaning/referrals).

BEWARE OF THIS COMPANY -

BEWARE OF THIS COMPANY -

You cannot trust this company.

I had an emergency and it was impossible to contact them to let Gleam know. They provide no phone numbers and if they call back which happens rarely, it will be from a withheld number. They don't respond to their emails either. Their cleaners seem to be lazy and always leave 15 or 20 minutes before their scheduled time. They charged me full payment when no cleaning was carried out. I had an emergency and couldn't stick to my appointment. I couldn't phone them to reschedule without telephone number and they wouldn't respond to my emails. However, they took full payment from my account not even a cancellation fee, but the whole payment. This lacks integrity and I am going to report this formally.
