How to use the Sweep South Domestic Worker service

My wife and I both work full time jobs. I am actually the luckier one as I only have to work 5 days a week where my wife works 6 days a week being an assistant regional manager. With so little time for ourselves, you don’t want to spend it cleaning your house. Everyone needs a clean house, but if it consumes your valuable time you should make a plan. We needed something that met our needs.

What we wanted when looking for a maid:

• The right person as we are very cautious.
• A part-time maid.
• To not worry about an employee, tax, labour law and all the paperwork that comes with that.
• An affordable solution.

That is where Sweep South came into the picture. They met all of our needs.

What is Sweep South?

They are the Uber of maids. Charging only R38 per hour for a “trusted, experienced and insured cleaner. Cleaners are background-checked, fully insured and rated by their clients.” They have an extremely simple booking system which works perfectly.

What you need

• A dirty house needing cleaning.
• A credit card (If you don’t have a credit card, please follow this tutorial to get one without the credit from Capitec Bank).
• You need to live in Cape Town, Johannesburg, Centurion or Pretoria.
