Become a familiar face in Cardiff homes
Cleaning someone’s home is personal. A client needs to feel comfortable with the person they welcome in, as well as happy with the result. Care, consistency and clear communication are just as important as knowing how to clean a kitchen or bathroom properly.
Enjoy the variety of working in different Cardiff homes as you build your round. Choose client opportunities that fit the hours and journeys you can manage. You need to travel reliably between households and keep the weekly or fortnightly visits you agree with each client.
The jobs you could help with
- Kitchen surfaces and worktops
- Bathrooms and toilets
- Dusting and vacuuming
- Mopping hard floors
- Ironing and agreed household tasks
The client supplies the cleaning materials and equipment. Agree the tasks and time for each visit.

What to know about cleaning work in Cardiff
Who can take on self-employed cleaning?
Cleaning through Maid2Clean is self-employed work for applicants aged 18 or over. You need the right to undertake self-employed work in the UK, whether as a British or Irish citizen or through immigration permission that allows it. Your eligibility is verified before work begins.
How do I agree my regular cleaning hours?
Tell the team when you are available and the areas you can reach. Typical visits are 2 to 6 hours and take place weekly or fortnightly. You choose suitable client opportunities, then need to keep the regular visits you agree. Your round is built up over time.
Is this work suitable for someone on a Student visa?
Student visas do not normally allow self-employment, even where limited employed work is permitted. All our cleaning work is self-employed. You need current immigration permission allowing this kind of work and should check your visa conditions before applying. Read the GOV.UK Student visa guidance.
What will I need to do during a cleaning visit?
House cleaning can be physically demanding, with tasks including standing, bending, mopping and vacuuming. You need to carry out the agreed work safely for visits of at least 2 hours. We can discuss reasonable adjustments for the role or the application process.
Do clients supply the products and equipment?
Each client provides their own cleaning materials and equipment for you to use. Agree the work and discuss any specific requirements before attending.
How are applicants interviewed and checked?
We verify your ID, address, right to undertake self-employed work and two references. Your final interview takes place at home with a local interviewer, who explains more about the cleaning role.
How is cleaner pay discussed?
Our team discusses cleaner rates and suitable opportunities with you before you agree to take on a client.
Which Cardiff areas could I work in?
