Local Business Focus: Calabash Residential Cleaning.

A residential cleaning company based in West Sussex was set up 10 years ago by Sarah Gardner, a local mum.

Calabash carry out home spring cleans for clients who need a helping hand for whatever reason.

It may be that you have:
•    Recently come out of hospital.
•    Are having a party or a special occasion.
•    Are moving in or out of a new home.
•    Have had builders that have left a mess.
•    Or simply that you would like your home to be given a spruce up.

Whatever the reason, Sarah and her team pride themselves on going the ‘extra mile’ and tailoring the service to each client’s specific requirements.

They offer one-off cleans which can be simply that; a one off blitz; a monthly, six monthly or annual spring-clean; a specific room clean, a move in/move out clean or something tailored for you. In addition, Calabash offers a carpet and upholstery cleaning service. As Sarah says, 'We can spring clean an entire home, or just concentrate on a specific part of it. For example, we could spend our time just in the kitchen giving it a thorough deep clean. Even if clients have a regular cleaner, they like us to do some of the more difficult areas that often get overlooked due to weekly time constraints. Sometimes clients just call when they fancy giving their home a bit of a boost. The team are responsible, trustworthy and hardworking and always willing to work hard. We have many loyal clients, and are lucky enough to get most work by personal recommendation. We are an experienced team who are very personable and understand the sensitivity of working in your private home. We take great pride in our work and love the fact that when we leave, we have made a real difference.'

Here are a couple of recent comments:
'I find the Calabash team so caring and professional - they make me feel my home is where their heart is.'
Dudley A. Maynard, Steyning, West Sussex.

'I contacted Sarah at short notice to blitz my cottage prior to my family descending on Christmas Eve. Sarah and her colleague wasted no time in 'setting to' and boy did they work! My cottage was transformed following their visit! I was amazed that they managed to get so much done in just a few hours. After Christmas I called Sarah again, as I was having a drinks party and again they worked so hard and managed to get everything sparkling and clean. It meant that I could concentrate on getting the food and drinks organised for my guests. I would have absolutely no problem in recommending Sarah to anyone thinking of using her company. They worked from the moment they came inside my door. They were punctual on both occasions and I would have no hesitation in leaving them 'solo' whilst I was out.'
