Book a Kitchen Reset in May and we'll clean your fridge at no extra charge. A Kitchen Reset is a ceiling-to-floor clean by two people over several hours — every surface your kitchen has accumulated over years of cooking, including the places routine cleaning doesn't reach. The free Fridge Spa is our Mother's Day gift. Reno and around. Message us to book.
