When should you book a basic last-minute cleaning service?
Many people got used to waiting days or even weeks before having their home cleaned. We changed this in many cities in Portugal and across Europe. By booking with us, you can schedule the cleaning service with a background-checked, verified cleaner even 2 hours in advance.
People choose the last-minute cleaning service for a number of reasons. Sometimes they just don't feel like waiting. If you're a busy person, and need the home cleaning service today, or tomorrow, why would you limit yourself? You can fill out a simple booking form, and have your place cleaned in a matter of hours!
A last-minute cleaning service is also a popular choice after parties. When parties go better than expected you have a lot of fun, that's for sure. But do you have enough energy to do the clean-up when you wake up completely hangover? Probably not. Book a last-minute home cleaning service with us, and bring order to your place. Cleaners working with us are discrete and experienced in after-party cleaning.

Reliable last-minute cleaning services
"SPIC AND SPAN. Home & Office Cleaning did a great job cleaning my apartment last weekend. Everything was incredibly clean, the guys didn’t need any supervision and knew exactly what to do. Customer service was great as well, they got back to us with all the questions within a couple of minutes. "

"Eva was great! She made sure we were on the same page with expectations by doing a walk through before and after completing the job. She spent 3 hours cleaning several areas in my house and it was spotless when she was done! She was also pet-friendly and great at getting the fur off my carpet. The house has never looked so good. A big thank you. "

"I would like to thank SPIC AND SPAN. Home & Office Cleaning for the excellent job of cleaning our apartment. It puts a smile on my face when I can come home and see the fine job that they did. Their service helps me so much and I am very grateful. They have great attention to detail. I like that the cleaner used natural cleaning products and I have never noticed any harsh chemical smells. Thank you! "

"Over the years I've hired multiple cleaning people for my apartment. Some did a better job, some worse. Most of them unfortunately were not reliable. Last minute cancellations were a norm rather than the exception. The frequency with which good cleaning people quit the cleaning industry is something that puzzles me to this day. Every few weeks I had too look for another cleaner. I got tired of it one day, and decided to book a cleaning with SPIC AND SPAN. Home & Office Cleaning. The quality of the service is good, but what's more important to me is that they handle all the communication with cleaning people, and are able to find a substitute in case my regular cleaning person is not able to do the scheduled cleaning.

"I want to thank your team for their excellent work. Everything is very clear and well-coordinated from ordering to cleaning and for me this hyper is important. The cleaner did a great job. She arrived on time which is crucial for me (had some bad experiences in the past). I did not see any stain lefts, thing harder to believe as I have 2 dogs. Definitely recommend SPIC AND SPAN. "

"SPIC AND SPAN. made me into a believer when it comes to cleaning services! Prior to taking the leap with them, I have always avoided using such services due to fear of poorly verified cleaners and generally feeling uncomfortable about having someone clean up after me. Fortunately, SPIC AND SPAN. didn’t fail at providing a friendly and experienced cleaner that left me surprisingly at ease. "
