A story of ‘Cleaning with Compassion’ from Merry Maids Sutton Coldfield
At Merry Maids of Sutton Coldfield, we know that life doesn’t always go to plan — and when it doesn’t, we’re here to help with care, compassion, and no judgement.
Our team arrived at a customer’s home who had booked us for an intended one off 4 hour deep clean. We had cleaned the bathroom and been there for 2 hours at the point the customer unfortunately became quite unwell.
In that moment, our priority wasn’t just to clean — it was to make sure the customer felt supported and respected. We spent the rest of the time we were there arranging emergency services, contacting family members and reassuring the customer. Once the customer had been taken to hospital we recleaned and sanitised the affected areas with sensitivity and understanding. We took extra care to ensure the home was safe, hygienic, and comfortable again. There was no hesitation or judgement — just kindness and professionalism, exactly as we would want for our own loved ones. We then secured the property and left.
Our team remained concerned with the customers wellfair so we remained in contact with the them. As a gesture of goodwill, and to make sure their home was fully back to its best, we returned to the property free of charge and undertook another clean on the customers release from hospital.
The customer was deeply appreciative of the thought and compassion shown by our team, and it reminded us all why we take such pride in what we do. Our gesture of kindness resulted in this customer becoming a regular fortnightly customer.
