Working in an occupied block
There is no compound and nowhere to set material down. Everything comes in and goes out through the same lift the neighbours use, and dust from a refurbishment reaches three flats if it is not contained properly.
House Cleaning in Faro
In Faro we work mainly in flats — those in the old quarter, with compact rooms and enclosed balconies, and those in Gambelas and Montenegro, where tenant turnover is high. An end-of-tenancy clean, with the kitchen and bathroom done thoroughly, is the request that reaches us most often from the city.

Faro, as seen by the people who work there
Faro is the district capital: more flats than houses, more landlords than resident owners, and jobs done with neighbours above, below and on both sides.
A compact city facing the Ria Formosa lagoon, with the walled historic quarter, dense residential neighbourhoods around it, and the university campus at Gambelas driving rental demand. Mostly three- to eight-storey residential blocks, many from the seventies and eighties, with enclosed balconies, original installations and compact floor areas. In the old quarter, older buildings refurbished for letting.
In Faro the bulk of the work is post-construction cleaning in refurbished flats and interior painting between tenants.
What we find in Faro
High tenant turnover
With the university and the hospital driving demand, some flats change tenant every year. Each change calls for a deep clean and often a freshening coat of paint within a few days.
Parking and deliveries
Unloading material in the old quarter means planning the hour. Turning up at nine in the morning in a street in Penha without having thought about it costs you half the morning.

Frequently asked questions about house cleaning in Faro
Do you actually work in Faro, or do you travel in from elsewhere?
We work in Faro regularly. We set out from Loulé and get there in about 25 minutes, which means we can come and look at the job without charging for the trip.
What usually goes wrong with this kind of work in Faro?
There is no compound and nowhere to set material down. Everything comes in and goes out through the same lift the neighbours use, and dust from a refurbishment reaches three flats if it is not contained properly. It is the situation we come across most often in Faro, and it is why we look at the job before quoting.
Do I need to be at home during the clean?
No. Most of our clients leave us a key or an access code. We work with identified staff and always the same team, precisely so that this can work without you having to worry about it.
Do you bring your own products and equipment?
Yes, we bring everything — products, vacuum, mops and cloths. If you would rather we used specific products because of allergies, pets or delicate materials, we will happily use yours.
Do you do one-off cleans, without a contract?
We do. Spring cleans, cleans before guests arrive, or a clean after the house has been shut up for a few months are all frequent requests.
