Testimonials

“My domestic worker is now confident and well-trained on how to clean my home, including the correct use of natural cleaning products and appliances. She follows a clear daily and weekly structure, knowing exactly where to start and what tasks to complete.”

Keriman, Kommetjie Homeowner

“The Clean Edit team was fantastic! Ash was attentive and incorporated all my requirements into a neat, professional manual. Moosa did an excellent job teaching Sharon helpful domestic skills that boosted both her confidence and her ability.”

Annabelle Krige, Tokai Homeowner

“As a Kommetjie homeowner and local host, I sent my domestic worker Lorraine on a few of the South Seas Edit courses. The transformation has been incredible — she’s become more confident, improved significantly in her cleaning, and even picked up extra jobs thanks to her new skills.”

Michelle Koch, Kommetjie Homeowner & Host
