Safety, on every job

Letting someone into your home — or entering a stranger's home to work — takes trust. Here is exactly how we protect both sides.

Before the job

  • Every cleaner passes manual identity review with a government ID and live selfie.
  • Cleaner profiles show real ratings, completed job counts and verification badges.
  • Clients verify their phone number and email so cleaners know who they are visiting.

During the job

  • Live GPS tracking shows the cleaner's approach in real time, with the cleaner's explicit consent.
  • A status timeline records assignment, travel, arrival, start and completion.
  • Before and after photos document the state of your property.
  • A digital signature confirms completion on site.

If something goes wrong

  • Stop the job and contact support immediately from the booking screen.
  • File a dispute within 48 hours with photo evidence — escrowed funds are held until it is resolved.
  • For any threat to personal safety, call 999 or 112 first, then report to us.

Safety tips for clients

  • Secure valuables, cash and documents before any cleaning visit.
  • Confirm the cleaner's name and photo in the app at the door.
  • Keep all communication and payment inside ONDUTY so there is a record.

Safety tips for cleaners

  • Only accept jobs through the app so your arrival and departure are logged.
  • Never accept off-platform cash requests — you lose payment protection.
  • Decline unsafe tasks such as exterior high-rise windows or handling unlabelled chemicals.
  • Use the stop-sharing control the moment your shift ends.
