Angie, Eric, and the entire Essential Cleaning team have been an absolute pleasure to work with on a daily basis. Their dedication and commitment to excellence are truly commendable.

Riaan Redelinghuys – Spear Reit
I have been a client for the past 15 years. I have received an excellent service from Essential Cleaning Services throughout. I have never made use of any other cleaning company. Angie, Leonardo and their team are one of kind. They always go the extra mile.
Dr Deirdre Calitz/Reid
We have been using the cleaning services at Essential Cleaners on an adhoc basis for many years. I highly recommend the team at Essential for all your office cleaning needs. They are always available to assist, even outside of regular working hours and sometimes at short notice. They are professional to deal with and their rates are competitive. Their cleaning staff are experienced, professional, and reliable.
Shelley Scheepers - Community Media Trust
Essential cleaning runs a professional caring service. We have two buildings that house approximately 100 students but we also have two motor vehicle showrooms and basements which are cleaned with care and diligence. Recommended without hesitation.
