Frequently Asked Questions
THE CLEAN ITS SELF
Q: Do I need to be home during the clean?
Not at all! Many of our customers provide us with a key or door code. We are fully insured and trustworthy. You can go about your day and come home to a spotless property.
Q: Do you bring your own cleaning products and equipment?
Yes! For most services we bring all of our own professional-grade cleaning products. We do ask that clients provide larger equipment such as a hoover, mop and any steam cleaning appliances, as these are easier to use in-home.
(If you'd prefer us to bring everything, that's no problem at all — just let us know when booking. Equally, if you have a preference for specific products or have any allergies or sensitivities, please mention this in advance and we'll make sure everything is suitable for your home.)
Q: Are your cleaning products safe for children and pets?
Yes, we use products that are safe for families and pets. If you have any specific concerns or sensitivities please let us know and we will tailor our products accordingly.
Q: Will I always get the same cleaner?
Yes! Chamomile Assist is an owner-operated service meaning in most cases you will be cleaned by me personally. Occasionally during busy periods I may bring in a trusted and vetted subcontractor — this will always be discussed and agreed with you in advance.
Q: What if I am not happy with my clean?
Your satisfaction is our absolute priority. If you are not completely happy with any aspect of your clean please contact us within 24 hours and we will return to put it right completely free of charge.
PRICING & PAYMENT
Q: How do I get a quote?
Simply contact us with your property size, type of clean required and any specific requirements. We will provide a free no-obligation quote within 24 hours.
Q: How do I pay?
We accept bank transfer, cash and card payments. Payment is due on completion of the clean unless a monthly contract arrangement has been agreed in advance.
Q: Are there any hidden charges?
Never. We believe in complete transparency. Your quote will always include a full breakdown of costs. The only time additional charges may apply is if the condition of the property requires significantly more time or specialist cleaning — in which case we will always discuss this with you before proceeding.
TRUST & SAFTEY
Q: Are you insured?
Yes, Chamomile Assist is fully insured. You can have complete peace of mind that your home and belongings are protected during every clean.
Q: Are your cleaners vetted and trained?
Absolutely. All subcontractors we work with are personally known to us, fully vetted and trained to our high standards before they enter any customer property.
Q: What happens if something gets damaged during service?
In the unlikely event that something is damaged, please get in touch within 24 hours of your clean and we'll do our best to put things right. As a fully insured company, any genuine damage caused by our cleaners can be handled through our insurance — so you can always feel confident you're in safe hands.

Q: When should I book Mothers Help?
Ideally we recommend getting in touch during your pregnancy so we can plan your support in advance. However we also welcome last minute bookings — just get in touch and we will do our best to help as quickly as possible.

Absolutely — you can book as little or as much as you need. Our hourly rate means you can access support without any pressure or commitment. Packages offer better value if you know you will need regular support.
Q: Is this the same as a doula service?
We offer practical postnatal support rather than clinical birth support. We focus on the practical day-to-day help that allows mum to rest, recover and bond with her baby. For clinical or birth support please speak to your midwife.
Q: Can you help if I am struggling with postnatal anxiety or low mood?
We can offer companionship, a caring presence and practical relief which many mums find makes a significant difference to their wellbeing. However we are not a clinical mental health service. If you are struggling we would always encourage you to speak to your GP or health visitor who can refer you to the right support.
Q: Do you help with older children too?
Yes! We can help with school runs, keeping older children entertained and maintaining family routines while you focus on your newborn and your recovery.
Q: Is everything confidential?
Absolutely. Everything shared with us is treated with complete discretion. Your home, your family and your personal circumstances are always handled with the utmost respect and confidentiality.
