What to wear and how to present yourself

No uniform needed. Clean, plain clothes, tidy hair, short nails, and a friendly hello.

Updated Sep 2, 2026

First impressions decide whether a customer books you again. You don't need a uniform — you need to look clean, capable and friendly.

What to wear

  • Clean, plain, comfortable clothes you can move in. No slogans, nothing torn or stained.

  • Closed-toe shoes with grip. Bring indoor shoes or shoe covers if the customer prefers.

  • Hair tied back, short clean nails with clear or no polish.

  • No strong perfume — many customers are sensitive to it.

Hygiene

  • Wash your hands after eating, smoking, handling rubbish, using the bathroom, and between bathrooms and kitchens.

  • Don't smoke on or near the property.

Manners

  • Greet the customer by name, introduce yourself (and your team member), and smile.

  • Ask if there's anything they'd like you to focus on.

  • Keep phone calls to a minimum while you're working.

  • Never argue with a customer. If there's a disagreement, stay polite and call 1300 009 363 — we'll sort it out.

Looking the part isn't vanity. Cleaners who present well get higher ratings, more repeat customers, and more tips.
