STANDARD, DEEP OR END OF LEASE?

Which one-off clean should I book?

Book a standard clean when the home is kept on top of and you want the everyday jobs done. Book a deep clean when it needs a proper reset. Book end of lease when you’re moving out and the home is empty.

  • Guests on the way

    A standard clean, with the inside of the fridge or oven added if you need it.

  • It’s been a while

    A deep clean catches up on the detail: inside the oven, grout, skirting boards and fans.

  • Once a year

    A spring clean is the deep clean, booked as the seasonal reset.

  • Moving out or in

    End of lease for the home you’re leaving, move-in cleaning for the one you’re moving into.

Inclusions come from the checklist our cleaners work through on every visit of that service, and the extras offered in booking. Prices are AUD per visit from our booking calculator, including GST and the Care & Cover fee, for a home that has been kept on top of, with no extras or discount code. Prices are the same in every city we serve. Time booked is for one cleaner; a team of two shares it, so they are on site for about half as long. Regrouting, sealing, mould removal and exterior windows are not part of any clean.

Does a one-off clean cost more than a regular clean?

A one-off clean is charged at the standard price. Regular visits are cheaper: 15% off fortnightly, 20% off weekly and 10% off every four weeks. You can book one visit now and set up a plan later.

Standard clean by frequency: 2 bed, 1 bath

One-off—$253—45%
Weekly20%$20426%4%
Fortnightly15%$21644%31%
Every 4 weeks10%$22830%20%

Prices are AUD per visit from our booking calculator, including GST and the Care & Cover fee, for a home that has been kept on top of, with no extras or discount code. Prices are the same in every city we serve. The first visit can cost more if the home needs catching up. Regular customers today: the 50 customers whose latest standard clean on our current booking platform (since April 2026) was on a regular plan, by that plan's frequency. Standard customers, 2021–2025: 2,466 customers on our previous booking platform, by the frequency of their most recent standard clean from January 2021 (one-off included). Each customer counts once, however often they booked. These show what people chose, not what suits every home.

Will the first visit cost more?

Only if your home needs more attention. When you book, you tell us how much attention it needs. A home with some build-up or that needs a proper reset gets extra time on the first visit, and that visit costs more; every later visit is charged at the regular price.

If it’s been months, or you want the oven and more detailed cleaning before settling into a routine, a deep clean first can make more sense. A standard first visit catches up on everyday surfaces; it isn’t booked for inside appliances unless you add them.

Prices are AUD per visit from our booking calculator, including GST and the Care & Cover fee, with no extras or discount code. Prices are the same in every city we serve. Some build-up or a proper reset adds time to the first visit only; later visits return to the regular price.

GOOD TO KNOW BEFOREHAND

Outside the usual scope

Mould removal, hazardous waste, heavy lifting, high-reach areas and chandeliers aren’t part of these domestic cleans. Repairs, pest control and gardening need separate arrangements.

Carpet steam cleaning isn’t part of a Standard Clean; vacuuming is included. You can add it to a Deep or End of Lease Clean, or book it on its own.

A balcony or patio can be added as an extra. Regrouting, sealing, exterior cleaning and other specialist work aren’t part of our cleans; ask the team before booking.

WHO WE WELCOME INTO YOUR HOME

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.

  1. Identity verification

    Cleaners complete an identity check before they can be approved to take bookings.

  2. Professional cleaning checks

    New 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. Mandatory safety checks

    Every 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. Phone screening

    We screen every applicant over the phone before approval.

  5. Online orientation

    Our signup flow includes three short cleaning videos with quizzes covering kitchens, bathrooms and living areas.

  6. Quality & ratings checks

    Our 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. A personal quality promise

    Each 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.

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.

Care & Cover

A little more peace of mind.

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

ONE-OFF CLEANING QUESTIONS

Questions people ask about a one-off clean

Ask us anything
01Do I have to sign up for regular cleans?

No. A one-off clean is a single booking. Nothing repeats unless you choose a regular plan.

02How soon can I book a one-off clean?

Booking shows dates from 24 hours ahead. When a cleaner near you is free today, it also shows same-day times from three hours ahead, with a $40 surcharge.

03Can I change or cancel it?

Yes, from your account. With 24 hours’ notice or more there’s no fee; with less, a $70 fee may apply under our booking terms.

04Is a one-off clean the same as a deep clean?

Not necessarily. “One-off” means a single visit; it can be a standard, deep or end of lease clean. A deep clean adds the inside of the oven, grout, skirting boards and ceiling fans.

Questions about an one-off clean

A few things
you might be wondering.

Ask us anything
01Can I book a one-off standard clean?
Yes. Choose a one-off visit or one of the recurring options shown in booking. Tell us how much attention your home needs. Some build-up or a proper reset adds time and cost to the first visit.
02Will I have the same cleaner each visit?
You can let the team know you’d like to keep the same cleaner. Availability can change, so confirm arrangements with us rather than relying on a guaranteed person for every visit.
03How is the price worked out?
The price uses your service, home size, cleaning condition, frequency, extras and applicable fees. The estimate above includes mandatory fees and GST for its stated assumptions. Confirm your address, date and final itemised price in booking.
04Do I need to supply products or equipment?
Cleaning supplies and equipment are included in the published service information. If you need a particular product or have a sensitive surface, confirm with the team before the visit. We don’t make blanket claims that every product is suitable for every household.
05What if I need to change my booking?
Use your customer account to view or reschedule your booking, or get help from the team. Cancellation or change fees may apply under the booking terms; review these before confirming a change.
06Are 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.

Optional extras and what they cost

Inside the oven, fridge and cupboards, interior windows, a load of laundry (washed, dried and folded) and a balcony or patio can be added to a standard clean. Each extra is priced in booking before you confirm. On a regular plan, an extra applies to the first visit unless you add it again.

Listed prices include GST. Add extras in booking and see the total before you confirm. On our current booking platform, 24% of standard cleans (30 of 125, since our current booking platform began in April 2026) added at least one paid extra. The history column counts standard cleans only, because older deep and moving packages recorded bundled tasks the same way as extras.

How long does a standard clean take?

We book 2h 20m of cleaner time for a 2 bed, 1 bath home in good condition. A team shares that work and can spend less time in your home, at the same fixed price for the booked scope. This is a planning estimate, not a guaranteed finish time.

In a one or two-bedroom home that’s cleaned regularly, that’s roughly two to two and a half hours for one cleaner. A first visit, a larger home or extras add time, and the booking allows for it.

Our guide to how long a house clean takes explains current standard-clean estimates by home size, team time and two- or three-hour priorities.

Time we book for a standard clean, by home size

5 bed, 3 bath4habout 2h

Booked time for a home that has been kept on top of, with no extras. A home that needs more attention, and extras, add time. The total labour is the same whether one cleaner or a team does it, and so is the price; a team simply finishes sooner. Measured: on 90 standard cleans with check-in and check-out times in our cleaner app (since our current booking platform began in April 2026), the median was 2h 49m of cleaner time, and the middle half took 2h 11m to 3h 42m. That is total cleaner time across the team, for homes of every size.

How to prepare for an one-off clean

A little preparation.
A useful head start.

No need to clean before your clean. These small preparations help make the visit work for your home.

  1. Make the surfaces accessible

    Put away loose items where you can, so your cleaner can spend their time cleaning the surfaces underneath.

  2. Leave the little details

    Add access instructions, parking information and priorities in the booking notes. Confirm special products or sensitive surfaces with the team.

  3. Prepare any extras

    If inside appliances or cupboards are included or added, empty them so they’re ready to clean. Let the team know if you need help planning access.

Prepare the work, access and notes. A little preparation gives the clean a clear starting point.

Preparation helps the cleaner reach the agreed areas. Do not move heavy furniture or attempt unsafe access; discuss any obstruction or special requirement before the visit.
