Home cleaning in Croydon
Croydon is south London's biggest town centre — Victorian terraces and Edwardian villas, the new towers around East Croydon and trams fanning out from the middle.
We match Croydon households with a vetted, self-employed local cleaner for a regular weekly or fortnightly clean — the same person each visit, with our team on hand whenever you need us.

Good to know in Croydon
New towers around East Croydon, Edwardian villas in Park Hill and terraces in Broad Green — three very different cleans on one page.
Around Croydon that means East Croydon, South End, Park Hill, Waddon, Broad Green and Old Town — and anywhere nearby.
Cleaning in Croydon
In the towers near East Croydon, a cleaner usually meets a concierge or a fob-only door before the lift. Agree with them how they'll get up to you ahead of the first visit.
Tower flats tend to put kitchen, table and sofa in a single space, and the hard floor that runs through it gets mopped each visit.
Edwardian villas have big rooms, high ceilings and often more reception rooms than the bedroom count shows. Add half an hour if you'd like them all done each visit.
A terraced house brings the stairs into every clean; a converted loft that's slept in counts as a bedroom in the quote.
Questions from Croydon
I'm in a studio in one of the towers — can I still book?
Yes. A studio is quoted like a one-bed, and a one-bed with one bathroom comes out at two hours in our quote — our minimum visit.
Our building's parking is for residents only — where will my cleaner go?
Explain the parking set-up at booking, and talk it through with your cleaner so they can plan how they'll reach you.

Common questions
How much does a clean cost?
You pay an hourly rate, and your price depends on the size of your home and how often you'd like a clean. Our instant-quote tool gives you an exact price in about a minute, with no card and no account needed. There are no sign-up fees and no hidden extras.
How are your cleaners vetted?
Every cleaner is ID-verified, DBS-checked, reference-checked and interviewed before their first booking. We only accept people with previous professional cleaning experience.
Can I have the same cleaner every time?
Yes, that's the default. We match you with a local cleaner on your first visit, and they stay with you unless you tell us otherwise. Consistency is the whole point.
Do I need to provide the cleaning products?
Yes, and the equipment too. Your cleaner uses your own products, vacuum, mop and cloths, so you stay in control of what's used in your home and you know what's being used in your home has only been used in your home.
Do I need to be home?
No, plenty of customers aren't. You arrange access directly with your cleaner. Poppins never holds keys or stores entry or alarm codes.
What if I need to cancel a clean?
Skip any visit with 48 hours' notice and there's no fee. With less notice, 50% of the clean is charged, and 100% within 24 hours. Either way it goes to your cleaner for the time they'd set aside.
