Maid to Clean's Response to COVID-19
If you are looking for more information on our response to the current COVID-19 situation, please click here to view our covid response.
What is a Disinfectant Clean? Our cleaners will perform the same services and follow the same check-lists however they will only use products that disinfect surfaces and effectively kill all germs/bacteria/viruses on touch. This extra is perfect for when you want to make sure all kinds of germs are killed throughout the areas of the home that you elect to have cleaned.
The difference between normal products and disinfecant products can be confusing. Normal soap based products are effective at breaking down COVID-19 when rubbed in to a surface. When soap is mixed in with the virus, it breaks down the wall of the virus rendering it useless. Disinfectant products kill the virus on touch, without the need for them to be mixed with the virus. So they are both effective, the disinfectant products just do it without the need for any elbow grease!
For the most thorough service we recommend the Flat Rate Service with the Spring Clean and Use Disinfectant Products extras.
To book a disinfectant service, please add the “Use Disinfectant Products” extra after selecting your service.

Normal Flat Rate vs Flat Rate with Disinfectant Products Wondering what are the main differences between our two services? Let’s us explain, it’s quite simple.
Normal Flat Rate – Our cleaners will use standard products to clean your home. Please note that extensive research has shown that one of the most effective products in removing the coronavirus (COVID-19) is in fact, common household soap. This is due to the COVID-19 virus’s outer wall being made up of a fatty layer which is broken down by soap. The soapy products just need to be rubbed in to the surface and it will break down COVID-19 if it is there. We are confident that our standard soap-based products/supplies will be effective at breaking down and removing COVID-19 from your home. Normal services do include disinfecting of some areas of the home (wet areas including toilets and bathrooms).
Flat Rate with Disinfectant Products – With these services we will upgrade to disinfectant products and use them in every room so that all germs/viruses are killed on touch. The key difference here is that disinfectant products do not need to be rubbed in to a surface to kill bacteria/viruses. While the normal flat rates will be effective at removing most contaminents (including COVID-19) the disinfectant services will go to the next level and effectively kill all germs on touch as well as removing them from your home.
So basically – our standard cleans will be effective at removing dust/dirt/germs from your home and the disinfectant cleans go that extra level of actually killing everything as well as removing them 🙂
