Excellent reliable and cost-effective service.

-Mr P, York

Thank you for sending me two such pleasant hard working young ladies. Where do you find them?

-Mrs G, Thirsk

I would recommend the Cleanhome service to anyone it’s great value for money easy to set up and Sharon and Phil are extremely professional. My cleaner Kate always does a fantastic job.

-Mrs B, York

Cleanhome York were very quick to respond to my initial query and were able to find me the right support in less than one week. I was looking for a cleaner as soon as possible … but I never thought Cleanhome would be able to act so quickly. I had not heard of Cleanhome York before so I was very impressed with this service. Vicky has been excellent – its like having a second pair of hands … only better!!

Koh Bathroom & Shower Cleaner

Genie Shower & Glass Cleaner

🧽 Introduction

When it comes to domestic cleaning services, one of the biggest pain points homeowners face is keeping showers and glass surfaces spotless.

Watermarks, limescale, soap scum — they build up fast.

As a professional cleaner, I’ll tell you this straight:
👉 The product you use makes a massive difference.

In this guide, we’re comparing two popular options:

  • Koh Bathroom & Shower Cleaner
  • Genie Shower & Glass Cleaner

We’ll break down:
✔ Ingredients
✔ Cleaning power
✔ Cost-effectiveness
✔ Eco benefits
✔ Real-world usability

🧪 What’s Inside?

Koh focuses on simple, science-backed ingredients:

  • Surfactants to lift dirt
  • Enzymes to break down grease
  • Chelating agents to fight limescale
  • Mild pH formula (~8)

Unlike many supermarket cleaners:
❌ No harsh bleach
❌ No ammonia
❌ No artificial fragrances

✅ Key Benefits

  1. Powerful but Gentle Cleaning

Koh uses enzymes and surfactants to dissolve grime without damaging surfaces.

👉 Ideal for:

  • Glass shower screens
  • Tiles
  • Chrome fittings
  1. Eco-Friendly & Family Safe
  • Allergy-friendly certified
  • No toxic fumes
  • Safe around pets and children

This is a big win for modern domestic cleaning services where safety matters.

  1. Multi-Purpose Use

Koh isn’t just for showers.

It can clean:

  • Windows
  • Floors
  • Kitchen surfaces

👉 That means fewer products cluttering cupboards.

  1. Streak-Free Finish

Anti-redeposition agents help prevent streaks — crucial for glass cleaning

❌ Downsides

  • Higher upfront cost
  • Requires correct dilution/use for best results
  • No fragrance (some customers prefer a “clean smell”)

🧪 What Makes It Different?

Genie is designed by a professional cleaner in the UK, which shows in how it performs.

Key features:

This is where Genie shines.

Perfect for:

  • Busy households
  • Cleaning businesses doing multiple properties
  1. Streak-Free Glass Results

When paired with a glass cloth:
✔ Leaves mirrors and screens spotless
✔ Minimal buffing needed

  1. Cost-Effective
  • Concentrated formula
  • “A little goes a long way”

👉 Great for cleaners trying to maximise profit per job.

  1. Pleasant Fragrance

Unlike Koh:
✔ Leaves a fresh scent

This matters more than you think — customers associate smell with cleanliness.

❌ Downsides

  • Contains fragrance (not ideal for sensitive users)
  • Less eco-focused than Koh
  • More of a single-purpose product

Peace of Mind

Only 1 in 50 applicants makes it on to our carefully screened database. We interview them twice, visit them in their own homes and take up at least two references. And if they still subsequently don't measure up to your standards, we will send you someone who does.

Personal Cleaner

We don't operate in teams, and therefore you get the same cleaner every week. This is good because you develop a relationship with your cleaner. We have some clients who have had the same cleaner for years and years - and that's what we want for you.

COVID-19 5th January Update

 

Just to let you know we are open for business as usual and you can continue to have your cleaner clean your house.

The government has made it clear that cleaners are still permitted to work inside peoples' homes as long as Government Guidelines on social distancing and staying safe are followed (see below). In summary:

You can be outside of your home for work purposes where your place of work remains open and where you cannot work from home, including if your job involves working in other people's homes.

The full text can be found here New National Restrictions from 5 January (in England; there are similar texts available for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland). Specifically relating to cleaners, the guidance continues: 'This guidance applies to those working in, visiting or delivering to home environments. These include, but are not limited to, people working in the following areas:

  • 'This can include work in other people's homes where necessary - for example, for nannies, cleaners, social care workers providing support to children and families, or tradespeople (this is not an exhaustive list)'

Note this guidance is for people who are fit and well, and is dependent on the following social distancing guidelines being followed:

  • No work should be carried out in a household where people are isolating or where an individual is being shielded.
  • The cleaners can continue work, providing that they are well and have no symptoms. No work should be carried out by a cleaner who has coronavirus symptoms, however mild, or when someone in their own household has symptoms.
  • No work should be carried out in a household where any occupants are clinically extremely vulnerable to coronavirus, or households with a possible or confirmed case of coronavirus.
  • Whilst in the house. a cleaner should maintain a safe distance of at least two metres from any household occupant at all times, and ensure good ventilation in the area where they are working, including opening the window.
  • Upon entering the home, cleaners should wash their hands using soap and water for 20 seconds.
  • Cleaners should wash their hands regularly, particularly after blowing their nose, sneezing or coughing, and when leaving the property.

The good news with regard to cleaning is that the cleaners can social distance from their clients very easily, and we would advise that, if you are at home when they are there, that you remain in a separate room to your cleaner.

If you are happy to adhere to the government guidelines - and if your cleaner has not been in touch already - then please just call the office and we will ensure that your cleaning continues.

Best regards

The Cleanhome Team
