Cleaning demand in Glasgow follows two clocks. The first is residential. Much of the city's inner housing is flats, many of them rented, in tenements across the Southside, the West End and around the universities.
Most private tenancies in Scotland are open-ended, so move-out dates follow a tenant's notice rather than one fixed calendar day, although student areas stay busy around summer and September.
The second clock is commercial: offices around the city centre and Finnieston, shops on Buchanan Street, hotels, and contract cleaning bought by a facilities manager rather than a householder. Bearsden, Newton Mearns and Milngavie add regular home cleaning.
A crew based in Paisley may not want a Hamilton job at rush hour, so the map matters as much as the offer.
