Monster Cleaning does domestic cleaning in Manchester with a local team: one vetted cleaner who comes by tram or bus on a fixed day and time, at £23 an hour on a weekly round. Fortnightly visits are £24 an hour. Every visit is at least three hours, and the first is a trial at £78 so you can see how the cleaner works before the regular rate starts. We send the same person each visit wherever we can.
Last updated November 2026. Prices are per hour of cleaning time, with no call-out or travel charge on a regular visit.
What a regular clean costs
A regular clean is charged by the hour. Weekly visits are £23 an hour and fortnightly visits are £24 an hour. Every visit is booked for at least three hours, which puts a weekly clean at £69 and a fortnightly clean at £72. A bigger home simply books more hours at the same rate.
There is no call-out charge. Because the cleaner travels by public transport, a regular clean carries no parking, congestion or travel charge.
Skip or move a visit with at least 48 hours’ notice, or it is charged in full. To stop, give a full week’s notice by email. You pay after each visit, in cash to the cleaner or by monthly invoice.
Ironing: each hour spent ironing costs £12, added to the cleaning hours. An hour of shirts at the end of a visit adds £12 to the bill and takes nothing away from the cleaning.
Your first visit is a trial
The first visit is charged at £26 an hour for at least three hours, which comes to £78. After the trial you decide whether to book the round. From the second visit on, your weekly or fortnightly rate applies. A few days’ notice is usually enough to arrange the trial.
Please be at home for the trial. Walk the cleaner round and tell them what you care about most, then show them where the vacuum, mop and cleaning products are kept. You supply the kit for a regular clean. The cleaner comes by public transport and uses your things on every visit.
Keeping it all in one cupboard saves time at the start of each visit. If a surface needs a particular product, such as an oiled oak worktop or a polished concrete floor, leave that bottle out and the cleaner will use it there.
What a visit covers
- Kitchen
- Worktops, splashback, hob, sink, appliance fronts, floor and bins.
- Bathrooms
- Toilet, basin, bath, shower and screen, taps, mirror and floor.
- Through the home
- Dusting, vacuuming and mopping.
- Beds
- Made, or changed if you leave clean linen out.
- On a rotation
- Skirting boards and door tops, taken in turn across your visits.
Some jobs are extras, charged as cleaning time at your usual rate: inside the fridge, a load of washing, inside windows and a light wipe inside the oven. Mention them when you book so the visit has room for them.
An oven with grease baked onto the glass and the racks is past a light wipe. That is a separate job for our oven cleaning in Manchester service.
The same cleaner each visit
When the same person comes each time, wherever we can arrange it, you only explain your home once. They learn where the vacuum lives and how you like the bed made.
Every cleaner is vetted. They are interviewed in person, insured and trained on our 57-point checklist before they clean a home on their own.
Cleaners fall ill and go on holiday like anyone else. When yours is away, the office tells you before the visit, and you can skip it or move it. If something is damaged during a clean, tell the office; where we caused it, we repair the item at our cost.

Homes in Ancoats and the Northern Quarter are mostly flats in converted mills and warehouses, with newer blocks built between them. Mill flats tend to have high ceilings with exposed beams, which gather dust above arm’s reach. Leave out an extendable duster if you want those done. The new blocks have a lot of glass. Shower screens and gloss kitchen units show every smear, so in a flat like this the kitchen and the bathroom glass are where a visit shows most.
Didsbury, Chorlton, Withington, Whalley Range and Heaton Moor are mostly period streets. Expect Victorian and Edwardian terraces, some of them split into flats, with the odd large villa. High ceilings and picture rails hold dust, and deep skirting boards come round on the rotation. Stairs add time as well. A three-storey terrace with the bathroom at the top takes longer than a flat with the same number of rooms, so allow for the stairs when you choose your hours.
Levenshulme and Longsight are mostly terraced streets, many of them split into flats or let as shared houses. In a shared house, tell the office which rooms are part of the clean (the kitchen, bathroom, hallway and stairs, say) and whether any bedrooms are included. To the south of the city the inter-war semis take over, usually with a bay window at the front and the bathroom upstairs. A second set of bathroom products kept upstairs saves the cleaner carrying everything up and down.
Manchester’s tap water is soft. United Utilities supplies it from upland reservoirs, much of it from the Lake District, so limescale builds far more slowly on taps, shower screens, kettles and toilet bowls than it does in the South East. A regular wipe keeps chrome and glass clear, and less of each visit goes on scale.
Our domestic cleaning service page covers the same service in London and Liverpool too.
Trams, parking and keys
After the trial you do not need to be in. Be at home if you like, or give the cleaner a key or a key-safe code. If your block has a concierge, you can leave a key at the desk.
Your cleaner comes by public transport. The Metrolink runs from East Didsbury through Chorlton into the city centre, and buses reach the streets the tram does not.
There is no clean-air charge in Manchester. Greater Manchester dropped its charging Clean Air Zone for an investment-led plan, so there is no charge of that kind on any bill.
One-off cleans by a team
A one-off clean is a separate service for a home that needs a single deep clean. A team of at least two cleaners comes for at least three hours, at £26 per cleaner per hour plus a £30 kit charge for equipment and detergents, so a one-off starts at £186. The team brings everything it needs. If you would like your own products used, the kit charge can be reduced.
It goes further than a regular visit: inside the oven, behind the taps, along the skirting boards and across the tops of the doors. If the team has to park where street parking is paid, the booking form shows that cost as its own line before you book, and it is never more than £40.
Moving out is a different job again, covered on our end of tenancy cleaning in Manchester page. Carpets are a separate visit too, with details on our carpet cleaning in Manchester page.

Frequently asked questions
How much does domestic cleaning in Manchester cost?
Regular cleaning is £23 an hour weekly and £24 an hour fortnightly. Every visit is at least three hours, so a weekly clean starts at £69 and a fortnightly clean at £72. There is no call-out charge, and no parking or travel charge, because your cleaner comes by public transport. Ironing is £12 an hour on top.
What does the first visit cost?
The first visit is a trial at £26 an hour for at least three hours, which is £78. It lets you see how the cleaner works before you carry on. From the second visit, the weekly or fortnightly rate applies. Please be at home for the trial so you can show the cleaner round.
Do I supply the cleaning products and equipment?
You supply the vacuum, mop and cleaning products, because your cleaner comes by tram or bus and uses your kit. Show them where it is kept on the trial visit. If you want a particular product used on a surface, leave it out for them.
Will I get the same cleaner every time?
Your visits are on the same day and at the same time, and we send the same cleaner each visit wherever possible. If your cleaner is ill or on holiday, the office tells you before the visit, and you can skip it or move it.
How much notice do I need to skip a visit or stop the service?
To skip or move a visit, give at least 48 hours’ notice, otherwise the visit is charged in full. To stop the service, give at least one full week’s notice by email to office@monstercleaning.com.
Do I need to be at home when the cleaner comes?
Only for the trial visit. After that you can be in, give the cleaner a key or a key-safe code, or leave a key with your building’s concierge.
Can the cleaner do my ironing?
Ironing can be added to a regular visit: each hour spent ironing costs £12, added to the cleaning hours. Leave the ironing out with the board and iron, and say how long you want spent on it.
