UPDATE: Clean needed ANY DAY THIS WEEK!


Recommended Posts

I need a fabulous cleaner for Tues 16th July in the ED/ Peckham area.


3 bedroom flat. Currently has very little furniture and very few belongings so should make the clean easier. The floors are tiled. Would be also good to clean the fridge/ freezer (empty) and potentially the oven. Kitchen and bathroom cupboards (all empty) need a clean too.


Basically a good scrub in preparation for moving in.


I estimate 4/5 hours.


If the cleaner could bring products and cleaning equipment then all the better but otherwise I can provide basics.


Any recommendations or takers? A quote would be useful.

Thanks I?ll look into emop. I?ve been hoping to get a few quotes. I had the impression from EDF that there are zillions of cleaners looking for work but I?ve not had much interest and people haven?t responded to my replies to their messages

Thank-you to everyone that private messaged me about this job.


Unfortunately I got my fingers burned and money lost with a rather unpleasant interaction with a cleaner who responded. Thank-you also to those who sent helpful messages in response to this.


So I don't want to let it put me off all EDF cleaners.


I will still be looking for someone to do a one off clean- next week I'd say.


I will respond to peoples private messages and posts.

As an update, I'm pleased to say the clean got done! I decided to go with emop (thanks for the recommendation Smiley)as, following the upsetting incident/ issue with the other cleaner I originally contacted (a different thread), I decided to go with an actual company rather than an individual.


I wouldn't want to be suspicious of individuals offering their services on EDF, and will continue to use the forum for this purpose in the future.


I have learnt some lessons based on what happened and subsequent issues in my other thread. Always do a good search on EDF for comments etc before booking someone for a job (that's partly why a forum is helpful!). And of course always be cautious about paying money up front. Plus perhaps the biggest thing, be very cautious about giving personal details to someone from the forum. These are probably pretty obvious guidelines to follow but I got burnt and learnt.


Emop were great and very reasonable :-)

    • try amazon (it seems to have it there) or a local dry cleaner shop or call a really good dry cleaners and see if they can recommend anything 
    • Goddard’s don’t make this anymore and my 80-year old mum has asked for it as her only birthday present. Even a half-full leftover tin would be much appreciated and I’m happy to pay over the odds. Thanks! 
    • It's been the norm all my life. Born and bred in working class south London and a teenager in the 80's. I'd say the streets are slightly safer now than they were back then. I've lived in Brixton, Clapham and Peckham for over 50 year, being mugged at some point was deemed a passage of rites and inevitable. It's shit that it happens at all but wasn't aware it's become the norm recently. Sadly a lot of youth trodding the wrong path are involved with gangs that supply weed and heavier stuff so they are making money. Another thing i can assure is that the people putting their money into huge consignments of coke and heroin that destroy lives and blight our communities aren't single parents from council estates nor dropouts.   I do voluntary work with life's young strays which include both current and reforming gang members. Many are roped in from a young age and join because of fear and peer pressure. It's certainly not a choice for many. You're lazy, tabloid style stereotyping is just way too simplistic.
    • Earl have you noticed how many bus lanes have been turned into cycle lanes….take a walk across any one of London’s bridges over the Thames and see how the bus lanes have been turned into cycle lanes and buses now sit in traffic with all of the other vehicles and TFL has said that bus journey times have slowed across London, although they have blamed roadworks for the delays.   Angelina, the National Travel Survey showed that London modal share is declining for cycles due to people returning to buses and tubes (I believe bus use had increased by 59% and was heading back to pre-Covid levels) there was a thread on it in October (National Travel Survey and cycling policy in London)
