Congratulations to Silviya! She beat hundreds of housekeepers across the whole of London to win this year’s Housekeeper of the Year award and a £150 prize.

Every year TidyChoice celebrates the most skilful, competent and reliable cleaner in our Housekeeper of the Year Award. Customers were asked to nominate their housekeeper for the award. 

We received a huge response in recognition of the valuable work that house cleaners do across the city. Silviya received the most votes from customers and got some amazing comments from her customers.

We are delighted to give the award to Silviya who is a very worthy winner. We spoke to her shortly after presenting her with the award.

How did you feel when you found out you had won the competition?

I was very excited to have won the Housekeeper of the Year 2021 award. I am thankful to all my customers who nominated me.

You got huge support from your customers who are clearly very happy with you. What is your secret?

I truly love...

Happy National Cupcake Day! What better than cupcakes topped with frosting, sprinkles, dipped in ganache, or drizzled with chocolate? Even though Cupcake Day is all about spending time with the loved ones and enjoying some delicious delights, no one likes burned bits of food on the floor, grease stains on the oven and food splatters in the microwave. We have rounded up some of the best tips on how to keep your kitchen mess-free:

• To unclog the faucet on your kitchen sink, simply soak the faucet in vinegar and let the water run
• Polish your stainless steel sink with flour to get it sparklingly clean and brand-new
• Mix equal parts of white vinegar and water to remove the dirt around joints and edges of the oven

As well as our own proprietary analysis, we summarised pricing information from third-party sources in the appendix. However, this information is more anecdotal in nature than analytical.

Methodology

We focused our analysis on the leading cleaning service providers in London. As market share and revenue data is not readily available, we identified the leading players by their organic search engine ranking and by estimating their online marketing spend.
