The COVID-19 pandemic has made many of us spend much more time at home. Being at home for an extensive period of time also means that our spaces need to be cleaned more frequently, but cleaning by ourselves might not always be an option when we’re busy chasing deadlines or helping younger family members with e-learning.
Turning to cleaning service providers might be one of the ways you could reduce your workload. We’ve compiled a list of 8 cleaning service companies in Indonesia that can help you keep your house and furniture squeaky clean. Staff members are required to wear proper PPE, so you won’t need to worry about having more people in your home for a few hours.
Remember when we used to have to call for a cab, and how long the process took? That was solved by ride-hailing apps which offered instant booking, price estimation, and multiple payment options.
OKHOME Indonesia’s Android and iOS apps offer a similar convenience for those who need a helping hand in cleaning their apartment or house within Jabodetabek. All you need to do is to enter your address and choice of service, pay by credit card or bank transfer, and wait for your booking confirmation.
What’s more, first-time customers get a 30% discount by using the promo code DISKONPERTAMA.
Packages you can choose from are Basic Care, which includes 3-5 hours of home cleaning, Special Care, for at least 3 hours of deep cleaning, and Move-In, which includes 4-5 hours of cleaning that’s perfect for those who are settling into a new home).
Before you secure an appointment, you can calculate the price of the service here. For example, if you live in an apartment or kost under 50 square meters, a Basic Care package would cost around Rp. 280,000 (~USD19.13).
Paying for a cleaning service package in advance, rather than making individual reservations each time you need extra help at home, could help you save up and schedule your appointments easily.
