Home cleaning in South Kensington
South Kensington's white stucco terraces and mansion flats surround the museums and the Tube station, with Hyde Park at the top of the road.
We match South Kensington 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 South Kensington
Stucco terraces split into flats and mansion blocks around the squares — tell us the floor and whether there's a lift.
Around South Kensington that means Onslow Square, Old Brompton Road, Thurloe Square, Exhibition Road, Pelham Street and Gloucester Road — and anywhere nearby.
Cleaning in South Kensington
Mansion blocks here often have a porter on the front desk. Agree with your cleaner, and the porter if need be, how entry will work, so the first visit doesn't start with a wait in the lobby.
Some flats in the converted houses run over two levels with a staircase inside. Bedrooms and bathrooms set the suggested time, so if yours is split over two floors, think about taking the extra half hour you can add.
Period flats can have parquet or original boards in the main rooms. Your cleaner uses your products, so keep a suitable floor cleaner with the mop.
Questions from South Kensington
I'm abroad for weeks at a time — can I pause?
Yes, pause or cancel with 48 hours' notice. Or keep the visits going while you're away: you arrange access directly with your cleaner, so the flat stays clean while you're gone.
How long would a three-bed mansion flat take?
A three-bed with two bathrooms comes out at three and a half hours in our quote. Give us the bedrooms and bathrooms when you book and the quote works out the rest.

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.
