We have been very happy with Gleam since we started our weekly cleaning back in August. Our cleaner Jo always goes above and beyond, her attitude is great, she always works efficiently and discreetly,... See more

Really impressed with the level of service. The booking was easy, and the cleaner, Idowu, went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. The attention to detail was fantastic. even little corners were spotless. Will definitely use Gleam again. Five stars well deserved!

Had a brilliant experience with Gleam from start to finish. The booking process was easy, communication was quick, and the team arrived right on time. Oluwaseyi did an excellent job, really thorough and professional, and the place was left spotless. It’s great to find a cleaning service that’s reliable and takes pride in their work. I’d definitely recommend Gleam to anyone looking for a proper deep clean!

Kind, polite, and respectful cleaners - but unfortunately completely inexperienced. Some were even unsure how to use a vacuum.
Despite repeated feedback and specific requests for experienced staff, the agency did not act on them. After four costly 7-hour sessions, none of the cleaners managed to complete what my previous cleaner could do in 4.5 hours. I’ve had to stop using the service.

Please be warned if you use this “cleaning company” and the cleaner breaks something in your home they leave you to deal with the problem and do not reimburse the cost. They are happy to take your money when it suits them and don’t bother helping if things go wrong with the person they allocate to come into your home.
On the 29th August we had a cleaner come to clean our home and the broke our shower unit (the cost to buy a new one and fit it cost £400+ plus the cleaner was involved with breaking the shower screen. When we told the company they, in short said its not our problem and we should speak to the cleaner to solve the problem of which the cleaner said she can’t cover the cost as they pay her so little. They basically washed their hands of us and refused to contribute or reimburse saying the cleaner’s are not employees! Which is ridiculous, they are responsible for choosing the cleaner, it’s not a marketplace where the client picks! Basically all in all we are down £733.88 in costs for broken shower- screen, shower unit plus installation costs.

UPDATE following BS answer:
1. The incident was reported straight away. To which you told us to contact directly the cleaner but refused to pass on their contact details
2. You didn’t answer our following 5 emails until we posted this review
3. You only answered after your request to remove our comment/review was rejected by trustpilot
4. We have answered your email and will update this review following your refund or not.
XOMETE SCAM, avoid companies with no address no phone number, we had an horrendous experience, no contact from their customer service whatsoever. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE.
UPDATE : their answer it’s under management review is again just for show. It was booked by my partner hence they don’t even know what they have to review.
Avoid people who block reviews on their facebook or don’t allow google reviews of their business.

In short, mixed (but often poor) cleaning quality and absolutely appalling customer service.
I’ve had numerous issues with gleam since joining, including cleaners often arriving very late with no advance notice, calling me repeatedly despite clear communication to contact my partner instead as I was not home, and poor quality cleans resulting in refunds, to the point where we refused any substitute cleaners if our regular person was not available.
Most recently, our regular cleaner left in July and Gleam were unable to allocate a replacement for over two months, and multiple times only notified us of a clean being cancelled 12-24 hours beforehand, including once emailing me at 10pm to cancel a clean scheduled for 10:30am the next day. Unauthorised payment was taken, and raising this issue (and others in the past) involved significant delays in receiving a response (we’re talking weeks) despite multiple chasers.
I have now terminated their services and will be initiating a chargeback with my bank.
They also try to skirt responsibility by relying on being a “matching service” but they are the ones who market the service, organise it, take payment, and interface with the customer including taking responsibility for cancellations etc, so this evasion of responsibility does not hold muster.
I would strongly recommend avoiding this company as they do not conduct their business in a professional manner, and in addition the cleans are often inadequately performed.
Update: the company subsequently contacted me and offered a financial incentive to take down my review. They also accused me of “publicly disgracing” them. I reported this to trustpilot but please note this is not what I consider professional behaviour.
Further update on 31/01/2026: Gleam’s response is misleading, unprofessional (again), and omits the central issues raised in my review.
My complaint is not about isolated gaps, star ratings, or individual cleaner performance. It concerns repeated short-notice cancellations, prolonged failure to respond to formal complaints, and a payment taken despite my having raised a dispute in advance — none of which are substantively addressed above.
The claim that “no bank chargebacks have taken place” is incorrect or, at best, premature. The matter is currently under review and investigation by my bank and remains ongoing.
I also note a serious inconsistency in Gleam’s handling of my personal data. When I submitted a Data Subject Access Request, I was told that Gleam held no data relating to me. Yet in this public response, Gleam has disclosed my booking history, dates of service, feedback records, and reasons for gaps in service. That information is plainly personal data and demonstrates that my DSAR was not handled accurately or properly.
Finally, the suggestion that leaving a factual review amounts to “publicly disgracing” a company is inappropriate. Consumers are entitled to share honest, documented experiences, particularly where issues remain unresolved. If this reflects poorly on Gleam such that they feel “disgraced”, that is a consequence of the unprofessional service and communication I received, not the act of reviewing itself.
I stand by my review in full.

Where do I start...I had been using Gleam Cleaning for a few months and it was problematic from start to finish. The quality of the cleaning services is generally poor, meaning I had to request a new cleaner on multiple occasions. The customer service is also poor, as there is no contact number, with responses via email taking several days to arrive. To top it all off, their cleaners have caused over £700 worth of damage to my bathroom through complete and utter negligence. When I raised this issue with Gleam Cleaning directly, I was denied any form of compensation and instead sent the following response:
'Based on your email below it may be worth outlining the service we provide as there seems to be some misunderstanding here. As outlined in our terms here, which you accepted when booking, we are a matching service, bringing self employed providers together with consumers seeking cleaners. We do not directly employ the cleaners and so they are not our staff. We provide the technology platform as well as the background screening that ensures only top quality high rated cleaners are sent out to jobs. Pretty much all of the other online cleaning websites such as Housekeep, Fantastic Services, eMop etc operate under the same model.
In this way, you are employing the cleaner and issues around damage are between the cleaner and the client. We will of course always be happy to mediate when issues arise and 99% of the time we are able to do that without an issue. Unfortunately following this issue, although we have tried to work to resolve this with you it appears we have reached an end point in terms of our ability to assist you further in mediation.
As we have been thus far unable to find a resolution for you our only option is to refer you directly to the service provider.
Sorry we haven’t found a better outcome for you and hopefully this can be resolved soon. Apologies again for the inconvenience caused.'
In short, do not be suckered in by the promise of good customer service at a fair price. This company is a very poor service provider, and in their own words not a cleaning company at all but rather a 'matching service'. This will leave you exposed to having to cover all repair costs should your cleaner damage your property. Let alone should any theft occur at your property. Don't make my mistake, avoid this company at all costs.
I appreciated the flexibility and cleaner availability provided by the platform. Cleaner was on time and did a thorough job. I recommend and would use again.

Don't bother. 2x cancellations with very limited notice and then, after they enticed me back with a "premium offer", yet again no one showed up. This time they didn't even tell me.
Customer service is hot when they're selling you a subscription but basically unresponsive when there's an issue with the service. Only got a reply after leaving this review.
