Cleaning in CO12, honestly.

Written cleaner to cleaner. This is the ground truth the lead sites have never stood on.

The homes. Older stock in the middle of Harwich, newer estates ringing it, and village work scattered past the edge for whoever wants the miles. A town round fills from three directions at once: regulars in the middle, families on the estates, one-off deep cleans wherever a house just sold. Around 394 homes changed hands here in the last recorded year — and a move is the classic moment a household starts looking for a cleaner.

The parking. Market-day changes the middle of Harwich; the rest of the week the parking barely merits a thought. A town this size keeps travel time tiny, which is exactly how a cleaning diary earns properly. In this part of the country the first clean is usually a limescale rescue and every visit after is defence — clients who've seen the difference don't shop around.

The patch. Work in CO12 orbits Harwich, Upper Dovercourt, Dovercourt, Bath Side and Outer Part of Town Eastward. Around 10,377 households live here, and the ones who hire a cleaner tend to keep them for years. That's not a lead list — that's a working round, every week, forever.
