Cover when your cleaning team is short
Cleaning standards should not slip because someone is off sick or on holiday. Tame Cleaning provides short-term cleaning cover when your regular cleaning staff are unavailable, from a single absence to full team support.
Whether you need extra help during a busy period, holiday cover or emergency cover at short notice, get in touch with our management team and we will arrange support.
Temporary cover is separate from a fully managed cleaning contract. If you want Tame to take over your cleaning on an ongoing basis, see the contract services linked below.
