Start with the right kind of clean

Not every cleaning quote covers the same job.

A regular tidy-up, a detailed one-off clean and an end-of-lease clean can involve very different tasks. Decide on the outcome before comparing prices.

01 / ONGOING

Regular house cleaning

For recurring upkeep. Confirm the rooms, frequency, cleaner-hours and whether products are supplied.

02 / OCCASIONAL

Deep & spring cleaning

For extra attention to built-up grime and neglected areas. Specify detailed tasks and exclusions in writing.

03 / MOVING

End-of-lease cleaning

Check the property scope, carpet requirements, exclusions and any re-clean conditions before accepting a quote.

The smarter hiring guide

Three things to settle before anyone picks up a mop.

01

Define the work

List rooms, surfaces, priorities and extras such as inside-oven cleaning or windows.

02

Compare the whole quote

Check minimum hours, GST, supplies, exclusions, cancellation terms and who handles concerns.

03

Keep it in writing

Ask for the agreed scope and total before the job begins. A cheaper headline price is not always a comparable offer.

Based on general consumer guidance from Queensland Government and current cleaning-service offer research.

Questions worth asking

Before you make a booking

Is an hourly quote better than a fixed price?

Neither is automatically better. Compare the work included, minimum hours, team size, possible extras and what happens if more time is needed.

Do cleaners bring their own supplies?

It varies by provider and booking type. Ask whether equipment and products are included and discuss any preferred or unsuitable products before booking.

Is an end-of-lease clean guaranteed to return my bond?

No cleaning service can determine every bond outcome. Confirm the agreed scope, property requirements and any re-clean conditions in writing.

Does Brisbane Cleaner send my details to cleaners?

No. The on-page planner runs in your browser and does not transmit your answers. You can copy the brief and contact providers independently.
