We couldn’t ignore Group 1’s range. Unlike most cleaners, they can provide handyman services for small property repairs and door-to-door car washing in addition to the usual solutions, such as office and home cleaning.

Their pros are often punctual and reliable. Same-day bookings are the norm (if the schedule is wide open), and they send out 3–4-person crews that normally wrap up within the day.

In terms of products, Group 1 uses eco-friendly brands, such as the cruelty-free, low-emission Astonish and the recyclable Comfort. That’s likely why parents, fur parents, and folks with allergies often hire them.

The prices are also reasonable for Cape Town, and this applies to their specialised services like deep cleaning. Quotes are transparent as well.

It’d be more handy, though, if they implemented an online booking system. Email replies could also be quicker.

Beyond that, they’re legit. Having been around since 2017 is solid proof of that.

Professional Services

I’ve been consistently looking forward to the excellent and professional services of Ntswaki and her team since we met, in 2022. For every booking, a team of 3 or 4 people arrive, right on time. They work efficiently, like a well-oiled machine, leaving the space in really great condition. They are also incredibly kind. Thank you team!!

I’ve worked with Mother City Cleaners before, and like the first entry, they have some unique offerings. For one, I hired them for a post-construction clean-up, which sorted out my property’s “heavy-duty” mess.

Meanwhile, most clients we chatted with rang them up for specialised deep cleaning, mainly for upholstery, mattresses, and carpets. The consensus? It’s a cost-efficient move; the cleaners extended the items’ life and improved their appearance.

No massive red flags with the booking system either, particularly since they often handle last-minute jobs easily.

Just keep in mind that Mother City Cleaners isn’t exactly a large team, so availability isn’t always guaranteed.

“Price flexibility” is something you won’t be stressed over, though. For instance, I was able to negotiate the quote, and we eventually landed on a fair one.

That said, there are no loyalty programmes, which would’ve been a sweet perk for regulars.

My Apartment Was Sparkling

Amazing service from Collen and his team. They paid attention to detail and went over and above to accommodate my last minute changes. I would highly recommend Mother City Cleaners to anyone who needs affordable and excellent cleaning services. My apartment was sparkling

Did a Fantastic Job

We recently moved out of our home in Camps Bay and needed the house to be spotless for the new owners. Collen and his amazing team at Mothercity Cleaners did a fantastic job getting the house in tip-top shape. I was really pleased with their attention to detail and how careful yet quick they worked. Thank you so much Collen!

If you clicked here looking for niche services for solar panels, gas hobs, extractor fans, braais, and ovens, the aptly-named Grime Away might end your search. Their fully-insured team, which uses non-caustic, biodegradable solvents, is trained for such tasks.

As for the “standout factor,” it’s definitely their high-pressure cleaning, achieved through petrol-powered equipment that can remove mould, mildew, and other nasty things that cause serious damage if untreated.

They’re also known for accepting same-day requests, offering Masterguard protection, and arriving on the agreed-upon time. What’s sweeter is that clients typically don’t have to wait for their reps to pick up the phone.

Callout fees apply, though, so it’s best to iron out everything during the consultation phase.

Longevity-wise, they’re not the oldest here either. In 2025, they have about 3-plus years under their belt, but that’s relatively short compared to the experience of the other entries on this list.

Went Above and Beyond

Romano and his team are nothing short of miracle workers. We did a post- and pre-tenancy clean for two properties, and they truly look brand new. The second, larger property was a big job following a 12-year tenancy, but they tackled it with professionalism, care, and an incredible attention to detail. Every surface sparkled, and even the most stubborn marks were gone. Communication was excellent throughout, and they went above and beyond to ensure everything was spotless. Highly, highly recommended

Smell is Immaculate

Great service! Had our carpets cleaned and the look and smell is immaculate! Will definitely be using them again for our couches next!

I’d sum up Pristine Clean as “heavy-duty.” Why? They’re equipped with industry-grade, deep cleaning equipment, such as pressure washers and extractors, all suitable for large-scale, thorough cleaning.

That’s also why most of their clients consider them efficient. In fact, we linked up with interviewees who had their furniture (including antique sofas) and spaces left pristine within two hours.

Some even mentioned scheduling overnight and being attended to the following morning. Just bear in mind that Pristine charges a callout fee, and it’s slightly pricier than usual.

There’s also an extremely firm cancellation policy to be wary of: cancelling within 24 hours means paying 50% of the total invoice.

To be completely fair, though, their rates are not overpriced for Cape Town standards, especially if you take into account that they’re one of the larger and older (5-plus years) companies around.

Efficient and Friendly

I contacted Pristine Clean to find out if thet would be able to come out to my house to deep clean our single bed mattrass and base, which was previously stored in a storage unit.

Brett van Hyssteen contacted me within half an hour of me sending the request.

The team that came to my house to clean mattrass and base, we extreme efficient and friendly.

I would highly recommend their service.

Incredibly Efficient

We recently contacted Pristine Clean for a deep clean of our couch and mattress – Brett got back to me so quickly with a quote and had us booked in for just a few days later, so incredibly efficient, booking a service couldn’t be any quicker or easier.

The team of two arrived and they got straight to work, super friendly and explained everything to us – we are so happy with the work they did for us and I cannot recommend them enough! Our couch is looking brand new and I’ll be sleeping extra well on my clean mattress tonight.

Thank you Brett and Pristine Clean team! 🙂

Nobody in our team complained when KleanCo was brought up. After all, they’re the oldest cleaning company in this review, running for over a decade.

If you ask me, though, flexibility is their most remarkable advantage. They’re often available for residential, commercial, and industrial jobs.

The customer satisfaction guarantee is a welcome feature as well. Say, you’re unhappy about any aspect of the cleanup, KleanCo will send a team to re-clean the property or item, free of charge.

One downside is their inconsistency when it comes to responses. A few clients said they sent messages but never got a reply, and there were also reports of confirmed bookings without any follow-up.

KleanCo doesn’t post estimates on its site either; most businesses here already do.

On a positive note, their costs generally line up well with Cape Town’s market, and clients can even supply the cleaning products/tools they prefer.

Efficient Cleaners

I am extremely impressed with the professionalism and high standard of service provided by this cleaning company. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for reliable and efficient cleaners
