About Us

How Marvellous Maids has survived
for all these years

The difference is in our workers and what we demand from them. More than cleaning and domestic skills, we concentrate on H*A*R*P.

This stands for Honesty, Attitude, Reliability and Punctuality, without which the best housekeeper, the most fastidious laundrywoman, a cook to rival Escoffier or the kindest carer is of no use.

At Marvellous Maids we recruit carefully, not only check references, but sometimes referees too, Our workers are uniformed, motivated, responsibly employed and subscribe to our Integrity Policy.

Why Choose Us?

Established over 28 years ago, in 1997 and with over 60 sites from KZN to Mpumalanga, the Northwest, Eastern and Western Cape and Gauteng, Marvellous Maids is widely considered to be the most prominent and pre-eminent domestic agency in the country. We have brought professionalism to an industry filled with misconceptions and exploitation and strive to deliver quality service and staff of the highest calibre.
 
From a once off clean up, a regular contract or a permanent placement, to Air B&B turnarounds and pre and post occupation property cleansing, we do it all. Post party, before a birthday, or janitorial staff for buildings, Marvellous Maids is available. We cook, clean, move, mop, pick, pack, wash, iron, and shine, shine, shine, with carefully vetted, motivated, and responsibly employed staff.
 
Our strict selection criteria, perspicacious vetting and scrupulous reference checking means that we can offer the best quality household staff; for offices and industry too. It is easier to contract with Marvellous Maids to provide office and factory cleaning services than to deal with leave, sick pay, UIF and the CCMA. Should our worker prove unsuitable, we simply replace him or her.
 
Many of our Marvellous team have been here from the beginning, continually striving to improve, to duplicate and triplicate what we have already achieved. Contact your nearest Marvellous Maids office to solve all your domestic woes the Marvellous way.

Franchisee - Hartebeespoort

Becoming a franchisee for Marvellous Mais feels like becoming part of a purposeful journey, that is to betterment of many (the owner, the employees, the clients).

Kate is the true brand ambassador whose vision is beyond profits, and her still involvement in the onboarding of the franchisees keeps the day 1 touch of Marvellous Maids brand, as such all franchises stay uniform to the cause she had when she started.

Franchisee - Helderberg

Marvellous Maids was one of my best business decisions. With a plug-and-play business model, I’ve been able to build a business that creates jobs, develops people, and delivers consistent, high-quality service.

Sisters Yvette and Bernine love Marvellos Maids so much that they teamed up to buy Paarl and Stellenbosch, which they run together.
