Cleaning

for the Elderly

We offer a range of services tailored towards older adults and elderly relatives of our existing regular clients.  It’s a service born out of the origins of our founder who was once a Care Worker, looking after elderly clients with dementia and this service has been requested often by our regular customers who are happy to trust us to help their elderly relatives. 

Good friends as well as good cleaners

From one-off deep cleans to weekly or twice monthly cleaning, we can also take care of laundry, ironing, general tidying, decluttering or organising the home and garden, as well as window cleaning.

The service is different to each client depending on their individual needs but we discuss this with the client themselves or the relative from the outset, ensuring each person receives a personalised cleaning package. 

Some of our customers prefer a weekly cleaning service for relatives who live on their own or who may have early signs of dementia, mobility issues or who are simply in need of some home help and another person to interact, chat and laugh with.     

A familiar face each time

We offer the same person as much as possible so that the customer feels safe with that team member being in their home, cleaning and assisting them in their cleaning tasks.  

We know some people struggle with giving in to someone else helping in their home, they often see it as a loss of power or ability but we find that when our helpful, friendly staff are regularly there to clean, it becomes a pleasant break for them and the chance to have a cup of tea and chat, while our staff take care of their cleaning.

A helping hand to rely on

Sometimes we are asked to bring essentials on route to avoid the need for a trip out to the shops. We can helpfully pick up some food shopping if we are given notice and a list to shop with.  Perhaps there is a small job needing done within the customer’s home. 

We can either take care of that or help find a reliable tradesperson to fix these things.   We are extremely conscious of social distance and wear protective clothing, with elderly clients we are even more conscientious of being safe and keeping distance.    

Should you need the garden tidying that is also something we can organise.

Happy Customers

  • “I recommend highly Polished Scot. We required a full house clean before handing over to new owners. Tomek responded brilliantly at short notice and his team were friendly and efficient.“

    Tony Williams, Home Owner – New Town

  • “Tomek and his team at Polished Scot looked after our flat in Edinburgh and were fantastic throughout.

    Very happy to recommend Tomek as excellent cleaning company but also as property management services.

    He helped us with everything including electrics and plumbing!“

  • “I have used Polished Scot fortnightly during 2022 and have always found the company efficient,polite and helpful in organising my needs. The house is cleaned very well and any special requests are also done cheerily. If my usual cleaner is not available I have always had a very good substitute person sent on the day. I have recommended this company to other people I know.”
