Sophie’s Professional Cleaning Service in Barnard Castle – County Durham
Location: Barnard Castle, County Durham
Service Type: Pre-Holiday One-Off Deep Clean
Property Type: 4-Bedroom Country Home
Background and Circumstances
In May 2025, Sophie’s Cleaning Company was contacted by Mr. and Mrs. Whitfield, a semi-retired couple living just outside the market town of Barnard Castle. With an extended family trip to Scotland planned and relatives staying at the house to care for their dogs, they wanted to leave the home in immaculate condition before departing.
Their goal was to have a full pre-holiday deep clean, focusing on high-traffic areas such as the kitchen, bathrooms, and guest bedroom, ensuring the house was fresh, presentable, and comfortable for the family members staying over.
They also requested that care be taken around antiques, natural wood furniture, and an oak staircase, all of which required sensitive, non-abrasive cleaning methods.
Cleaning Objectives
- Complete a deep clean of the full home in preparation for house sitters
- Prioritise the kitchen, guest bedroom, and bathrooms
- Treat wood surfaces and delicate fittings with appropriate products
- Leave the home smelling fresh and organised for the couple’s return
- Respect antiques and family heirlooms throughout the process

Customer Testimonial
“We’ve always prided ourselves on a clean home, but Sophie and her team took it to another level. Every room looked pristine, and you could tell the cleaning was done with care — not rushed or surface-level. Our house sitters even commented on how lovely the place felt.
