Trusted Cleaners in Edinburgh, From the Old Town to the Suburbs
Freshlayer Cleaning provides fully insured, vetted and background-checked cleaners for homes and businesses right across Edinburgh — standard cleaning, deep cleaning, end of tenancy cleaning, Airbnb turnovers, oven cleaning and commercial cleaning. Reliable, professional, and backed by our satisfaction guarantee.
Edinburgh is Freshlayer's second home city, and we've built our service here around the flats, tenements and family homes that make the city what it is, rather than simply carrying over what works in Leeds. Whether you're in a New Town townhouse, a Leith conversion or a Morningside semi, our team turns up on time, works to a consistent standard, and leaves the property properly clean.
Much of Edinburgh's housing stock is unlike anything you'll find in Leeds. Tall Georgian and Victorian tenement blocks with shared stairwells, sash-and-case windows that gather dust and grime differently to modern double glazing, and top-floor flats with no lift all change how a clean needs to be planned and timed. Our cleaners are used to working in these buildings, from tenement flats in Marchmont and Bruntsfield to the grander Georgian conversions of the New Town.
Edinburgh's large student population and dense HMO market around Newington, Marchmont and Sciennes means end of tenancy turnarounds and changeover cleans are some of our most requested jobs, often on a tight window between one tenant leaving and another arriving. We also work with landlords managing shared houses, where communal areas and multiple bathrooms add a different kind of workload to a standard family home.
During August in particular, a large number of Edinburgh properties switch over to short-let accommodation for the Fringe and the wider festival season, and hosts need a cleaning partner who can turn a flat around quickly and reliably between guests, sometimes with only a few hours' notice. We offer the same fast, dependable Airbnb and short-let turnover service here that we've built a reputation on in Leeds.
Every Freshlayer cleaner working in Edinburgh is fully insured and vetted and background-checked before they're ever sent into a customer's home or business, so whether it's a first booking or a long-standing weekly clean, you can expect the same standard of trust and accountability we apply everywhere we work.
We currently cover Edinburgh proper, from EH1 in the Old Town out to EH17, taking in New Town, Stockbridge, Comely Bank, Leith, Trinity, Abbeyhill, Marchmont, Newington, Morningside, Bruntsfield, Gorgie, Dalry, Murrayfield, Corstorphine, Colinton, Juniper Green, Portobello and Liberton. If you're just outside this area, get in touch and we'll let you know whether we can help.

Can you clean tenement flats and buildings with shared stairwells?
