Most of our Salford rounds run through the M5, from the red-brick terraces in Ordsall and Langworthy to the new flats along the water at the Quays. Regular domestic cleaning here is £22 per cleaner per hour on a weekly round, or £24 if you go fortnightly, with no VAT and no call-out charge. A one-off clean is a separate service done by a team, at £26 per cleaner per hour. We keep the same cleaner on your home wherever we can and carry in every product and the hoover. Monster Cleaning has kept homes in order since 2014. Ring 0333 555 2076.
Last updated April 2026. Covering the M5 postcode and out across Salford, from Ordsall, Langworthy and Weaste to the Quays, then Eccles, Pendleton, Broughton and toward Worsley and Swinton.
Domestic cleaning in Salford starts from £22 an hour, a cleaner kept on your home, weekly or fortnightly, with a separate team rate for one-offs.
What it costs
The obvious question first, and the honest answer is two prices, because there are two different jobs. A regular cleaner kept on your home is £22 per cleaner per hour weekly, or £24 per cleaner per hour fortnightly. No VAT goes on top and there is no call-out fee anywhere in Salford.
A three-hour weekly clean is £66. A fortnightly visit of two to three hours lands between £48 and £72, depending on how long you book. The hourly rate stays the same however long the cleaner is there, so nobody gets pushed into hours they do not need.
A one-off clean is the other service, priced differently because it is a different kind of work. We send a team, usually two cleaners for about three hours, at £26 per cleaner per hour, with a £67 minimum charge. That is the booking for a deep one-time reset rather than ongoing upkeep, and the next section sets out when each one makes sense.
Ironing is the usual add-on, at £12 an hour on top of the cleaning time, built in when you book.
One honest word on the rock-bottom quotes that float around this trade. A rate well under ours only holds up because somebody is being underpaid, and that cleaner does not last, so you are back to square one in a month. Our rates pay a fair wage to vetted cleaners who care.
Regular round or one-off team
People mix these two up, so here is the plain version. They are two separate services, booked and priced differently.
A regular round is one cleaner, the same one, on your home every week or every fortnight. It is upkeep. The kitchen and bathroom stay on top of themselves, the place never gets the chance to slide, and over time your cleaner gets quicker because they know the house. That is the £22 weekly or £24 fortnightly service, what most of our Salford regulars are on.
They are two separate services, booked and priced differently.
A one-off is a team job for a single big clean. Two cleaners, roughly three hours, at £26 per cleaner per hour with a £67 minimum, so a typical visit of two people for three hours comes to about £156 of cleaner time. You would book this before you move in, after a big do, or when a home that has gone a while without help needs hauling back to a baseline. The team gets it done in one hit. Plenty then start a fortnightly slot to keep it that way.
The same cleaner, week after week
This is the part people ask about first, so we will deal with it first. On a regular round we pair you with a cleaner who already works your slice of Salford and has your preferred slot free, then keep that same person on your home for as long as it works for both sides. The large majority of our regulars here see the same cleaner every single visit, often for years on end.
It simply works better that way. Your cleaner learns the house, knows the floor cleaner lives under the sink and the cat is not allowed out the back, so each visit gets quicker. When your regular is off sick or away, we will not drop you and we will not send someone in blind. The cover gets a short written brief first.
A clean falls short? You are covered.
Ring us within 24 hours and the cleaner comes back and redoes whatever was not right, at no charge. That is our re-clean guarantee, with no catch attached. Our Trustpilot sits at 3.1 out of 5 across 128 reviews. That is not a perfect score, but it is a real number we would rather show you than hide behind made-up five stars. We are Monster Cleaning Ltd, Companies House number 9919639, and the founder still reads the complaints.
What a visit covers
A regular clean runs the same routine each time, scaled to your home and the hours booked. The heart of it is the kitchen and bathrooms done properly, the rest dusted, hoovered and mopped, and the bits everyone forgets actually dealt with. A bigger terrace in Ordsall wants more time. A compact Quays flat that finishes early gets the extras.
Kitchen. Worktops, splashback, sink and taps wiped and disinfected. Because the water here is soft there is almost no scale to fight, so the cleaner spends those minutes on grease instead, the real enemy in a small open-plan flat. The hob is done properly, grates lifted, and the appliance fronts wiped: extractor, fridge, dishwasher and microwave. The floor is mopped, and the bins go out.
Bathrooms. Bath, shower, screen and tiles scrubbed, the toilet cleaned and disinfected under the rim, round the base and the handle. Basin, taps, mirror and glass left clear. The floor washed, behind the pedestal included, the spot most cleaners skip. Soft water means the glass and chrome come up clear without a running battle.
Bedrooms and living areas. Every flat surface dusted, picture rails and door frames included, which matters in the older terraces. Carpets, rugs and hard floors hoovered, the sofa too when there is room. Beds made and linen changed when you leave clean sheets out. Skirting boards we do on a rota.
Around the home. Light switches, door handles and the bannister, the germy bits everyone touches and nobody thinks about. Internal glass too. Add ironing at £12 an hour if you want the shirt pile dealt with while we are there.
Rather we cleaned round everything and left it where it sits? Say so and that is how we work.
The homes we clean around Salford
Salford is not one kind of housing, and the clean shifts a lot from street to street.
Down by the water, the Quays and Ordsall Riverside have gone up fast over the last twenty years, and the docks that used to sit there are long gone. The blocks along Ordsall Lane and the towers near MediaCityUK are mostly one and two-bed flats, modern surfaces and open-plan kitchens, a lot of glass and gloss that shows every mark. Plenty are let to people working at the BBC and ITV studios. These cleans are about grease and finish, not anything heavy.
Salford is not one kind of housing, and the clean shifts a lot from street to street.
A few streets inland it changes completely. Ordsall, Langworthy, Seedley and Weaste are red-brick terraces, the classic two-up two-down, many of them kept and brought back rather than knocked down when the council reworked the area. These older homes carry tiled hallways and deep skirting that hold dust and want a careful clean. They are smaller inside than they look, a tighter and more thorough job in less time.
Out past Pendleton toward Worsley, Swinton and Monton the housing opens up into larger inter-war semis with gardens and driveways, where the time goes on more rooms than tricky access. We clean all three kinds, week in, week out.
The one thing that makes Salford easier
Here is something a cleaner who actually works Salford knows. The tap water here is soft.
United Utilities draws the supply largely off the Lake District and Pennine reservoirs, and across Salford it runs around 46 milligrams of hardness a litre, firmly in the soft band. In plain terms that means very little limescale. The kettle does not fur up the way it does in the south-east, the shower screen does not cloud over days after a clean, and the chrome stays bright with a normal wipe. Our cleaners who have worked London first always notice it.
That changes where the time goes on a visit. Instead of spending half the bathroom on scale, the cleaner puts those minutes into grease in the kitchen, finish on the glass in the newer flats, and the corners and skirting in the older terraces. Same hours, more of them on the things that actually bother you.
Booking, access and parking
Booking is a phone call, not a form. Here is how it runs.
- Ring 0333 555 2076. Tell us the size of the place, the bedrooms and bathrooms, and whether you want a regular round or a one-off team. We give you the price there and then.
- A quick look on the first visit. The cleaner does a five-minute walk-round at the start of the first clean, at no extra charge.
- We assign your cleaner. For a regular slot, someone who covers your area and stays on your home. For a one-off, a team for the day.
- Keys, a key safe, or you let us in. Most hand us a key after a few visits, kept against a reference number rather than an address.
- A message when it is done. The cleaner drops you a note, often with a photo of the finished rooms.
Access is the real local quirk, and it splits two ways in Salford. In the Quays and MediaCityUK blocks the catch is the building, not the road, so we agree how the cleaner gets past the concierge and the fobbed lifts beforehand. In the older terraces around Ordsall Lane and the Langworthy streets it is the opposite, with on-street parking that fills up early and no driveways, so the cleaner sorts their own spot. Either way the cleaner deals with it, not you, and most rounds are an easy hop off the Eccles tram line.
No deposit, no joining fee, no long tie-in. We are run from 255 Upper Richmond Road West, SW14 8QS, and you can reach us at [email protected] if a call is not convenient.
Other cleaning we do here
Plenty of our Salford regulars add one of these now and then, alongside the regular slot:
- Carpet cleaning in Salford once or twice a year, a separate job with separate machinery that lifts the traffic lanes a hoover never will.
- Oven cleaning in Salford, a full strip-down ahead of a flat inspection at the Quays, racks and door glass done rather than a quick wipe over.
- end of tenancy cleaning in Salford for when you are moving out of a let and want the deposit back, priced as a fixed job by the size of the property rather than by the hour.
A regular weekly visit and a move-out clean are not the same thing, and we price them separately, so do book the right one. Want the wider view of what an ongoing service covers? The domestic cleaning overview lays it out in full.
Frequently asked questions
How much does domestic cleaning in Salford cost?
Regular cleaning is £22 per cleaner per hour on a weekly round, or £24 per cleaner per hour fortnightly, with no VAT and no call-out charge. A three-hour weekly clean is £66. A fortnightly visit of two to three hours runs £48 to £72. A one-off clean is a separate service done by a team, at £26 per cleaner per hour with a £67 minimum.
What is the difference between a regular clean and a one-off?
A regular clean is the same cleaner kept on your home, weekly or fortnightly, at £22 or £24 an hour. A one-off is a separate service we send a team to, usually two cleaners for about three hours, at £26 per cleaner per hour with a £67 minimum. The team gets one big clean done in a single visit; the regular round keeps a home ticking over with one familiar face.
Will I get the same cleaner every time?
On a regular round, yes, that is the whole point of it. We pair you with a cleaner who already works your part of Salford and keep that same person on your home. A fair few of our Ordsall and Langworthy regulars have had the same cleaner for years. If yours is off sick, we brief a cover cleaner in writing first.
Do I need to supply cleaning products or a hoover?
No. The cleaner brings the vacuum, the cloths, the mop and the right product for each surface. One bit of good news local to Salford: the tap water here is soft, around 46 milligrams a litre off the United Utilities supply, so limescale is barely a problem the way it is for our London cleaners. Prefer your own eco brand? Leave it out and the cleaner uses that instead.
Can I add ironing to a clean?
Yes. Ironing is £12 an hour on top of the cleaning time, so if the cleaner spends the last half-hour of a visit on a basket of shirts, that half-hour is charged at the ironing rate rather than the cleaning one. Tell us roughly how much there usually is and we build the time in when you book.
Which parts of Salford do you cover?
We work across the M5 first, so Ordsall, Langworthy, Weaste and Ladywell, and the new apartment blocks at Salford Quays and Ordsall Riverside. From there we reach Eccles, Pendleton, Seedley, Broughton and out toward Worsley and Swinton. If you are near a stop on the Eccles tram line or a walk from MediaCityUK, we cover you.
Are your cleaners vetted and insured?
Yes. Every cleaner is interviewed in person, reference-checked and right-to-work verified before they go near a home, and we carry public liability cover up to £5 million. Monster Cleaning Ltd has been a registered company since 2014, Companies House number 9919639. You are hiring a real firm with an office and a phone number, not an app that hands your address to whoever is nearest.
What happens if I am not happy with a clean?
Ring us within 24 hours and the cleaner comes back and redoes whatever fell short, free of charge. That is our re-clean guarantee, with nothing buried in the small print. We will be straight about our reviews too: our Trustpilot sits at 3.1 out of 5 across 128 reviews, which we would rather show you than dress up.
Do you clean the new apartments at Salford Quays?
We do, a good slice of our Salford work is exactly that. The blocks along the water like Bridgewater Wharf and the towers near MediaCityUK are mostly one and two-bed flats let to people who work long hours and want the place kept right between weeks. We work around concierge access and lift times, and a flat that finishes early gets the extras done.
Can you clean an older terraced house in Ordsall or Langworthy?
Yes, and plenty of our regulars are in exactly those streets. The red-brick terraces around Ordsall Lane and the Langworthy roads are smaller two-up two-downs, often with original tiled hallways and deep skirting that hold dust and want a careful clean rather than a quick wet wipe. Parking is usually on-street and tight, so the cleaner sorts that out themselves.
Is there a contract or a minimum number of weeks?
No contract and no joining fee on a regular round. You can change how often we come with a week’s notice, or stop whenever you like. We ask for a one-off to be paid on the day, and a regular clean by bank transfer. The only minimum is the £67 floor on a one-off team visit, so a small job is still worth two cleaners turning out for.
