HOW IT WORKS

How does same-day booking work?

Enter your address, choose your clean and pick today’s date. If a cleaner who takes same-day work is free near you for long enough, booking shows arrival times from three hours ahead. Choose one, check the total and confirm. If no times show for today, no one is free today, and booking offers the earliest other times.

  • 1. Your home and clean

    Bedrooms, bathrooms, the home’s condition and any extras set the time needed.

  • 2. Today’s date

    Same-day times appear only when a cleaner is free for that long, near you.

  • 3. Check and confirm

    The total includes the $40 surcharge. You pay after the clean.

When you need a clean soon. Short notice does not change the agreed scope.

Same-day work depends on available appointments and a suitable cleaner. Check the confirmed booking; an enquiry or an available-looking day is not a guaranteed arrival.

How to get a same-day clean

Cleaners take same-day work when they have a gap, so a little flexibility helps.

  • Book early in the day

    Morning bookings have the most of the day left to fit a clean.

  • Keep the scope tight

    A smaller clean needs a shorter free window, so it fits more easily. Add extras another time.

  • Leave access instructions

    You don’t need to be home: add entry, parking and pet details to your booking notes.

  • Plan the next one

    For a fixed date, book 24 hours or more ahead, with no same-day surcharge.

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

SAME-DAY CLEANING QUESTIONS

Questions people ask about same-day cleaning

Ask us anything
01Can I book a cleaner today?

Often, yes. When a cleaner who takes same-day work is free near you for long enough, booking shows times from three hours ahead. If none show, no one is free today.

02Is there a same-day fee?

Yes, a $40 surcharge on top of the usual price, shown in the total before you confirm.

03Is a same-day cleaner guaranteed?

No. Same-day times depend on a cleaner being free near you. When one is, the time you choose is booked like any other.

04Can I book a deep or end of lease clean same day?

When a cleaner has a long enough gap, yes. A longer clean needs a longer free window, so it’s less likely to fit on the day; book deep or end of lease cleans ahead where you can.

Questions about a same-day 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.

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 a same-day 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.
