The idea of Cinders Cleaners began out of frustration in trying to find a dependable, reasonably priced cleaner in my local area. I couldn't believe how hard it was. When I returned to work following my maternity leave, it was under the premise that I would have the help of a cleaner at home just for a couple of hours a week. I was working in a demanding role for a global company as an HR manager, in addition to trying to be the enthusiastic mummy I wanted to be to my two young boys.

Fourteen months later, and I was today's version of Cinderella, still trying to balance being a mum with a job and making the home the place of solace it should be. I tried sourcing independent cleaners who would let me down on the day or just not show up. I tried companies who wanted to tie me into long contracts and charge me admin fees to sign up or to cancel if I wasn't happy. Even when they weren't providing a reliable service, I still couldn't cancel without a charge, and if I didn't pay, it was passed to a credit agency. What was supposed to make my life easier created more stress and frustration.

I was so close to being defeated, but instead, I used my HR skills to create a company that kept it simple for clients, created a positive working environment for cleaners who were paid fairly, and offered development opportunities. The result? Cinders Cleaners was born.

As opposed to making ripples in the corporate world, I wanted to make waves in the real world in ways that matter. Cinders Cleaners has a team of people that love working with us—ask them! Cinders Cleaners makes a difference to mums, dads, professionals, and seniors alike. With the demands of today’s world, we all deserve to have reliable, affordable help.
