For the home you’re living in.
Standard is a good fit for everyday upkeep. Choose how often you’d like a hand, and tell us when your home was last cleaned so the booking allows for the work involved.
- Everyday kitchen and bathroom cleaning
- Vacuuming, mopping and accessible surfaces
- One-off or a recurring schedule

Explore deep cleaningWEEKLY, FORTNIGHTLY OR EVERY FOUR WEEKS
How often should you book a regular clean?
Fortnightly suits most homes: often enough that grime doesn’t build up, with 15% off every regular visit. Weekly (20% off) suits a busy household with children or pets, and every four weeks (10% off) a smaller home you keep tidy between visits. You can also book a one-off.
That’s our recommendation, not a rule. Of the 49 customers on a regular plan with us today, 45% clean fortnightly, 31% every four weeks and 24% weekly. On our previous booking platform, 45% of 2,466 standard customers since 2021 last booked a one-off.
Not sure? Start fortnightly. If the house needs us again by the end of the first week, move to weekly; if it still looks good at two weeks, try every four. You can change the frequency from your account. Our guide to how often to hire a cleaner goes through household size, pets and allergies.
| How often | Saving per visit | Each regular visit | Regular customers today | Standard customers, 2021–2025 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| One-off | — | $253 | — | 45% |
| Weekly | 20% | $204 | 24% | 4% |
| Fortnightly | 15% | $216 | 45% | 31% |
| Every 4 weeks | 10% | $228 | 31% | 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 49 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 catching up. When you book, you tell us when it was last cleaned. A home cleaned a few weeks ago or longer 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, fridge and cupboards done 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.
| Cleaning needs | First visit | Each later visit |
|---|---|---|
| Kept on top of | $216 | $216 |
| Some build-up | $298 | $216 |
| Needs a proper reset | $378 | $216 |
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 our cleans and isn’t offered in booking; vacuuming is included. If your lease asks for a professional carpet clean, book a carpet cleaner and keep the receipt.
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.
Check a particular taskOptional extras and what they cost
Inside the oven, fridge and cupboards, interior windows, laundry 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.
| Extra | Price | On a regular plan | Standard cleans that included it since 2021 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Inside Oven Deep Clean | $46 | First visit only, unless added again | 1.3% |
| Inside Fridge Clean | $46 | First visit only, unless added again | 0.8% |
| Inside Cabinets & Drawers | $62 | First visit only, unless added again | 0% |
| Interior Windows | $70 | First visit only, unless added again | 0.7% |
| Laundry Service | $46 | First visit only, unless added again | 0% |
| Balcony/Patio Clean | $46 | First visit only, unless added again | 3.3% |
Listed prices include GST. Add extras in booking and see the total before you confirm. On our current booking platform, 24% of standard cleans (29 of 119, 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.

STANDARD OR DEEP?
Should you book a standard or a deep clean?
Book standard when your home has been cleaned in the last month or so and you want the everyday jobs done well. Book deep when it hasn’t, or when you also want the inside of the oven, fridge and cupboards, the grout, skirting boards and ceiling fans done.
| Task | Standard | Deep |
|---|---|---|
| Kitchen benches, stovetop, sink and splashback | Included | Included |
| Bathrooms, toilets, showers and mirrors | Included | Included |

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.
How long does a standard clean take?
We book 2h 35m of cleaner time for a 2 bed, 1 bath home in good condition. Across 85 standard cleans on our current platform, the median took 2h 49m of cleaner time. A team of two shares that time, so they’re on site for about half as long, at the same price.
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.
| Home size | One cleaner | A team of two, on site |
|---|---|---|
| 1 bed, 1 bath | 2h 15m | about 1h 08m |
| 2 bed, 1 bath | 2h 35m | about 1h 18m |
| 2 bed, 2 bath | 2h 55m | about 1h 28m |
| 3 bed, 1 bath | 2h 55m | about 1h 28m |
| 3 bed, 2 bath | 3h 15m | about 1h 38m |
| 4 bed, 2 bath | 3h 35m | about 1h 48m |
| 5 bed, 3 bath | 4h 15m | about 2h 08m |
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 85 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 16m to 3h 42m. That is total cleaner time across the team, for homes of every size.
BEFORE WE ARRIVE
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.
- Make the surfaces accessible
Put away loose items where you can, so your cleaner can spend their time cleaning the surfaces underneath.
- Leave the little details
Add access instructions, parking information and priorities in the booking notes. Confirm special products or sensitive surfaces with the team.
- 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.
What to keep on top of between visits
A ten-minute reset most evenings keeps the house feeling clean until the next visit: clear and wipe the kitchen benches, empty the sink, squeegee the shower screen and put things back where they live. Leave the scrubbing, floors and bathrooms for the clean.
Same cleaner, schedule changes and regular prices
Keeping the same cleaner
Ask to keep the same cleaner and we’ll try to roster them for your visits. Leave and rosters change, so we can’t promise the same person every time.
Moving or cancelling a visit
Change a visit from your account. With 24 hours’ notice or more there’s no fee; with less, a $70 fee may apply.
Regular-plan prices
Your discount applies to every regular visit: 20% weekly, 15% fortnightly and 10% every four weeks. If a price changes, we tell you at least seven days ahead.
Pausing or stopping
Pause or cancel your plan from your account at any time, with 24 hours’ notice for the next visit.

About these figures
These figures describe recorded completed standard cleans across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and 4 more cities, including historical bookings. Repeat visits count separately, so this counts cleans rather than homes. Your own address and date are checked when you book. Older bookings are grouped by the service they most closely match. Prices are what customers paid for completed standard cleans in the last 24 months, GST included, taken from the 1,561 of those cleans that carry a price. A quarter paid under $150 and a quarter paid over $210. Each figure is rounded down to the nearest $10, so it is a price someone paid at or above. This is a record of past bookings, not a price list. Each city's median stands on that market's own records (Perth 50, Melbourne 36, Brisbane 119, Sydney 1,330 priced cleans), and the bars are drawn against the dearest city rather than against zero. A market with fewer than ten priced cleans is left out rather than charted thin. Home sizes use the 41,903 records that carry a bedroom count; hourly bookings carry none. City percentages use all visits in these records.

“Great clean! Even did the blinds and windowsills. Only thing was he did turn off the washing machine in the middle of a cycle but otherwise very happy with the service ”
“The guys were so professional, and did such a phenomenal job with the house. We would definitely have them back in a heartbeat if we can stretch the budget for regular services. They were courteous, friendly and playful with our dogs, and checked in with me regularly to make sure I was happy with the work. ”
“Fatima was so incredibly detail-oriented and really did a thorough and fanatic job. Cannot recommend her and Simply Maid enough. ”
