Hi, We're Cleaníge
The Business Built for Your Peace of Mind
I started Cleaníge in 2020 with a simple belief: great cleaning shouldn’t come at the planet’s expense. What began in Watford as a one-person mission to do things differently has grown into a trusted eco-focused cleaning service for homes and businesses across Herts, Beds, and Bucks.
Our story is really about what it means for you, spaces that feel fresher, healthier, and genuinely cared for. We use sustainable practices not because it’s trendy, but because it delivers a clean you can feel good about. Every visit, every client, every time, we’re committed to impeccable results that protect both your environment and the environment.

Our Story
Cleaníge’s journey began during the challenges of Covid in 2020. I started doing odd jobs as a self-employed cleaner, in between working two part-time employed roles. I was driven by the need to create a secure, reliable future for my family. But I quickly realised I could do more: I wanted to build a company that provided impeccable cleaning standards and client service, safe jobs with fair pay, whilst fundamentally pioneering an eco-friendly approach.
Plucking up the courage to start my own family-run business, I rocked up to our first client all those years ago with nothing but a second hand vacuum and a dream. Today, my team's dedication to quality and customer satisfaction has earned us a five-star reputation and allowed us to grow from our base in Watford to expand across the home counties. We continue to uphold these founding principles, ensuring we never compromise nature for profit.
