Priya started with one client on Ravenslea Road and a caddy that lived in the pram basket. Eight years on it's still her and one trusted colleague — same faces every visit, keys held for half the round, and a kitchen left the way she'd want her own.
Enquiries go straight to the cleaner. RealHouseCleaners never sits in the middle and never takes a cut.
What SW12 says about Pear & Polish Cleaning
“Priya has cleaned our house every Thursday for three years. Same person, same standard, keys held, zero fuss — the kitchen actually gleams when we get home.”
Homeowner, Heaver Estate
“Booked an end of tenancy for our flat in Du Cane Court. Agent signed the place off first look, deposit back in full. Worth every penny.”
Tenant, Balham High Road
“Reliable fortnightly clean for a busy family house near Hyde Farm. Always texts ahead, and the ironing add-on is a lifesaver.”
Homeowner, Hyde Farm
Cleaning in SW12, honestly.
Written cleaner to cleaner. This is the ground truth the lead sites have never stood on.
The homes. Dense streets and period houses — the classic inner-London mix of family terraces and flats carved out of them. The homes are compact but they work hard, so regular slots hold up all year — this is weekly-and-fortnightly country. Roughly 558 sales a year across SW12 — each one a fresh doorstep where nobody has a cleaner yet.
The parking. Controlled zones rule SW12, and the diary that ignores them donates an hour a day to the council. Stack jobs by street, not by clock, and the zone stops costing you money. Hard-water region: the squeegee-after-every-shower speech, the right descaler, the patience to let it dwell — this is where local cleaners out-clean the agencies.
The patch. Work in SW12 orbits Balham. Around 13,531 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.
