Company at a Glance
Founder
Christina founded Christina's Cleaners from a deeply personal belief: that a home should be a sanctuary of peace, order, and safety. As a Ukrainian refugee and mother living in Oxford, she built the business on resilience, dedication, and care.
Her mission extends beyond cleaning. By paying Living Wage rates and investing in training, Christina's Cleaners provides meaningful employment within the local community — particularly for people who, like her, are rebuilding their lives in the UK.
The company's commitment to eco-friendly products isn't an upsell — it's a founding principle. Every clean uses exclusively plant-based, non-toxic products, chosen to be safe for families, children, and the environment.

Rebuilding after war

Fixed pricing in domestic cleaning
Challenging hourly billing with transparent, per-job rates: why Christina's Cleaners moved away from the industry norm and what clients gain as a result.
Eco-friendly cleaning at scale

Sample Q&A
Suggested questions for interviews with Krystyna Nekrylova, with brief answer notes.
What made you start a cleaning company after leaving Ukraine?
Draws on a background in hospitality, the need for meaningful work, and the opportunity to create real employment within the local community.
What does being a Living Wage employer mean in practice?
Fair pay as a founding principle — team members earn enough to live properly in Oxford, not just at the minimum threshold.
Why fixed pricing rather than hourly rates?
Clients know exactly what they're paying before we arrive. No variable quotes, no callbacks — it builds trust from the first booking.
What sets Christina's Cleaners apart from other domestic cleaning companies?
The combination of eco-friendly products, a consistently assigned team, and fair employment — three things that rarely come together in this industry.
