Mopp, a start-up in Shoreditch that has grown by 500% over the last 3 month was formed by two best friends, Pete Dowds and Tom Brooks, who tried and failed to book a cleaner online after a house party in Whitechapel. On April Fools Day 2013, Mopp was born. It allows you to book a trusted cleaner online in 60 seconds for just £10 an hour, and have just released an iOS App to make it even easier. Here is a cool promo rap and interview with the founders of the app.
