ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS
Find answers to the most common questions about pricing, cleaning services, and bookings.
General
A standard clean covers your kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms and living areas — surfaces wiped, floors vacuumed and mopped, bins emptied and beds made. It's designed to keep your home fresh between deep cleans.
Home cleans start from $300 for a studio or one-bedroom and $600 for a three-bedroom, or you can book an hourly clean from $100 per hour. Airbnb turnovers start from $240 and end of lease cleans from $600. Every price includes GST. Extra time, weekend loadings, travel and add-ons are on our Pricing page, and you’ll always know the price before you book.
Most standard cleans take two to four hours depending on home size and condition. Deep cleans, end-of-lease and first-time cleans take longer.
