WHO WE WELCOME INTO YOUR HOME

Seven checks before a first clean.

Experienced cleaners. Thoughtful checks.

We look for people who already know how to clean professionally and are committed to quality service. Our application process checks who they are, how they work and whether they are ready for the services they offer.

Team members complete their own checks and make their own quality promise. A team leader’s experience does not replace each cleaner’s personal skills, safety checks or identity verification.

  1. 01Identity verificationCleaners complete an identity check before they can be approved to take bookings.
  2. 02Professional cleaning checksNew applicants tell us about their professional cleaning experience, skills and equipment for the services they offer. Answers that need a closer look are flagged for review.
  3. 03Mandatory safety checksEvery cleaner completes practical safety questions covering cleaning products, surface care and keeping bathroom and kitchen cloths separate. Safety answers that need attention must be resolved before they can take new jobs.
  4. 04Phone screeningWe screen every applicant over the phone before approval.
  5. 05Online orientationOur signup flow includes three short cleaning videos with quizzes covering kitchens, bathrooms and living areas.
  6. 06Quality & ratings checksOur checks continue after approval. Customers can rate every clean. We closely monitor each cleaner’s ratings and feedback, and follow up when a clean falls short.
  7. 07A personal quality promiseEach cleaner personally accepts our quality agreement for the services they offer during signup and skills setup. They commit to doing their best to deliver a premium clean and returning at no extra charge if you report a cleaning concern or leave a low rating within 48 hours of your clean ending. The 48 hours is for reporting a concern; the return visit is arranged afterwards.

Care & Cover

A little more peace of mind.

If something's missed, we come back.Every clean comes with Care & Cover: our Happiness Guarantee, published insurance cover and a team to turn to.

  1. 01The Happiness GuaranteeIf something on the booked list isn't right, tell us within 48 hours. We arrange a complimentary re-clean of those areas within seven business days, and if you're still unhappy we review it and offer a fair credit or refund.
  2. 02Up to $10 million public liability insuranceOur service terms describe up to $10 million in public liability insurance through Chubb Insurance Australia. If something is damaged, send a photo and a reasonable estimate, and it goes through the separate damage and insurance process.
  3. 03A team to turn toCall 1300 009 363, Monday to Saturday, 9 to 5, or get help online. You pay after your clean, and cancellation is free up to 24 hours before.

Care & Cover isn't an insurance policy, and conditions apply: a re-clean doesn't apply when a clean couldn't go ahead as booked, such as no access, water or power. Care & Cover, in full · Service terms

About these figures

These figures describe recorded completed cleans in Canberra, including historical bookings. Repeat visits count separately, so this counts cleans rather than homes. Your own address and date are checked when you book. Home sizes use the 420 records that carry a bedroom count; hourly bookings carry none. Service percentages use the standard, deep and end of lease cleans in these records; hourly and custom bookings, which we no longer offer, count towards the total but are not listed.

How we collect and count feedback

These figures count bookings and feedback recorded for addresses in Canberra. Repeat visits count separately, so cleans are not homes. Frequency shares use all recorded completed visits with a recognised frequency, including older history; they do not measure current demand. Customer records use distinct customer identifiers within one suburb, not verified home addresses, and are never summed across suburbs. Checked 12 October 2026.

Customer feedback is the rating a customer gave after a clean: each counts once, low scores included. Earlier feedback used “bad”, “OK” or “good”; those count as 2, 3 and 5 stars, the same equivalents we have always used. Featured quotes are from customers who rated the clean 4 or 5 stars; the comment list shows the newest published comments, each with its own rating. The average includes every rating.

Google reviews are a separate source, shown as the Canberra listing reports them, and are never averaged together with our customer feedback. Across all locations: 4.6 / 5 from 9,887 customer feedback ratings; 4.7 / 5 from 777 reviews on our 4 Google listings.

Good to know

Booking a cleaner in Canberra? Your questions, answered.

You don't need to clean before we come. A few simple preparations help your cleaner spend the visit on what matters most to you.

PLANNING YOUR CLEAN IN CANBERRA

Before your clean, the short version.

Getting ready, pets and access — what to know

Getting the home ready

  1. You don't need to clean first. Pick up clothes, toys and clutter so the time goes on cleaning.
  2. Write your top three priorities in the booking notes.
  3. Put away valuables, cash, medicines and papers.
  4. Empty the sink and load the dishwasher: washing up isn't part of a standard clean.
  5. Keep the water and power on.
Your first clean, step by step

Telling us about your home

  • Pets are welcome. Tell us about them in booking: they need to be secured or supervised while the cleaner works.
  • Natural stone, timber, unsealed floors, matte paint or antiques? Say how to treat them, and what not to touch, in your booking notes.
  • Your cleaner brings the products and equipment, including a vacuum and mop. If a surface needs your own product, leave it out with a note.
  • Add parking, intercom, lift and alarm details to your booking notes. Door codes and key locations go in booking's access field, never in the notes.

After you book

We assign your cleaner after you book, from the cleaners whose travel area includes your address. On a regular plan, tell us if you'd like the same cleaner each time: we aim for it, but can't promise it.

Not sure we cover your street? Type your suburb in the box at the top of the page: the price step says straight away if we don't clean there yet.

Changing or cancelling a bookingIndependent cleaner or cleaning company?
Planning for an inspection, a move or access to your home?
How quickly can I book a cleaner in Canberra?

About 60 seconds. Choose your clean, your rooms and how often, add any extras and pick a date on this page, then confirm in booking. Your choices go with you, so booking starts at the first question you haven't answered. Nothing is paid until after your clean, and cancellation is free up to 24 hours before.

Do you clean in Queanbeyan and Jerrabomberra?

Yes. They're over the border in NSW, but on 1 October 2026 both were inside the travel areas of the cleaners who work with us in Canberra. Book through this page and enter your address as usual.

How far ahead should I book in Canberra?

As early as you can, especially for an end of lease clean. Fewer cleaners work with us in Canberra than in our larger cities, so popular days fill sooner. The booking shows the dates on offer for your address before you confirm anything.

What does an end of lease clean need to cover in the ACT?

The ACT's standard tenancy terms ask you to leave the home in substantially the same state of cleanliness and condition as when you moved in, allowing for fair wear and tear, and the final inspection is checked against your ingoing condition report. Have that report handy when you book an End of Lease Clean. If you rent in Queanbeyan, NSW rules apply instead. Carpet steam cleaning can be added to an End of Lease Clean or booked on its own; enter your address to check an equipped cleaner's availability. If something on our checklist is missed, tell us within 48 hours.

Can I book a cleaner by the hour?

No. We price the clean rather than the hour: the service, your bedrooms and bathrooms, how long it has been since the last clean and any extras set the price, and you see it before you confirm. Some older Canberra bookings in our records were hourly, but that option is no longer offered. If there are rooms you want done first, add them to your booking notes.

What does a cleaner get done in two or three hours in Canberra?

We book by the home, not by the hour, so you never have to guess how many hours to buy. A standard clean covers the kitchen surfaces and stovetop, every bathroom, floors, mirrors and dusting throughout, and the time we book grows with the number of bedrooms and bathrooms. The Canberra cleaning prices guide lists the cleaner time we book for each home size and what it costs today, so you can compare it with an hourly quote.

Which Canberra suburbs do you cover?

Our 7 Canberra areas take in 22 suburbs, with Braddon, Fadden, Greenway and Forrest among the busiest. The full list of areas and suburbs is further down this page, and the quote form confirms coverage and open dates for any address.

Do you offer deep cleaning in Canberra?

Yes. A Deep Clean adds the inside of the oven, skirting boards and the rangehood to everything in a standard clean; inside the fridge and kitchen cupboards can be added as extras. If you want a regular plan, book a Standard Clean and choose Make it a deep clean, so only the first visit is deep and later visits keep the plan discount.

Who are the best house cleaners in Canberra?

That depends on what your home needs, so we publish the evidence and let you decide. Our reviews page shows what Canberra customers have said about us, with suburbs and dates, and every cleaner we send is identity-verified, insured for the work and skills-assessed through the Simply Maid Academy before their first booking.

How is my price worked out?

Your bedrooms and bathrooms set the price; apartments, units, terraces and houses cost the same for the same rooms. Prices include GST and the Care & Cover fee, before new-customer offers. Our prices are the same in every city we clean, and come from the same rates booking uses. Extras cost more, as does a first clean for a home that needs more attention: home condition adds cleaning time within your chosen service, and it does not turn a standard clean into a deep clean. Regular visits after your first cost up to 20% less, and booking shows your exact total, with any offer, before you confirm. Canberra cleaning prices.

Is a maid service the same as domestic or house cleaning?

Yes. A maid service, domestic cleaning and house cleaning all mean a cleaner who visits to clean the inside of your home: kitchens, bathrooms, floors and surfaces. It isn't live-in help. We offer it as regular, deep and end of lease cleaning, with carpet steam cleaning on its own or added to your clean, and laundry (one load washed, dried and folded) as an extra.

Which clean should I choose?

Most homes book a standard clean, one-off or regular. Choose deep cleaning for the extra detail (inside the oven, grout, skirting boards), end of lease when you're moving out, and a move-in clean for an empty home you're moving into. Compare cleaning checklists.

Do I need to supply cleaning products?

No. Your cleaner brings the products and equipment, including a vacuum and mop. If a surface needs your own product, leave it out with a note.Prefer eco & green cleaning products? Add them as an extra in booking and your cleaner brings products labelled plant-based and biodegradable, used for everything except inside the oven.

Who will clean my home?

We assign your cleaner after you book, from the vetted cleaners whose travel area includes your address. On a regular plan, tell us if you'd like the same cleaner each time: we aim for it, but can't promise it.

Can I book a cleaner online?

Yes, any time. Pick your clean on this page and book online in about 60 seconds; we email you once your cleaner is confirmed. Prefer to talk? Call 1300 009 363, Monday to Saturday, 9 to 5.

What if something is missed?

Tell us within 48 hours of your clean and we'll arrange a free re-clean of the areas you booked, within seven business days, under Care & Cover. If you're still unhappy, we'll review it and offer a fair credit or refund.

Are your cleaners insured?

Yes. Every cleaner is identity-verified before their first clean, and our service terms describe up to $10 million in public liability insurance through Chubb Insurance Australia. If something is damaged, send us a photo and a reasonable estimate within 48 hours and it goes through our damage and insurance process. Care & Cover, in full.

When do I pay?

After your clean. Booking shows your full total, with any offer, before you confirm.

Can I cancel or change my booking?

Yes. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before your clean. Changing or cancelling a booking.

What happens after I book?

You review your price for your address, choose a date and arrival window, then add contact and payment details and confirm. We email you once your cleaner is confirmed, and you pay after your clean.
