About Cleaner Scout

How Cleaner Scout works

Cleaner Scout passes your clean to a local cleaning business. You tell us the clean, the size of the place and your postcode, a local business takes the job, and they call you to talk it through, quote and agree a day.

What kind of clean do you need?

What kind of clean?

We find the cleaner. The cleaning business quotes, cleans and invoices you directly.

From your clean to the call

  1. Tell us the clean

    Pick the kind of clean, how many bedrooms, any extras and your postcode. Then your first name and mobile, and a tick to say we can pass the job on.

  2. A local business takes it

    Cleaning businesses near you see the kind of clean, the size of the place and the suburb.

  3. They call you

    The business talks it through, quotes and agrees a day with you. You deal with them directly from then on.

Who does the cleaning

Local cleaning businesses do. Each one runs its own business: it quotes, does the cleaning and invoices you directly. We don't employ cleaners, choose who turns up or set what they charge, and Cleaner Scout never cleans.

What we ask, and why

The kind of clean and the size of the place help the business plan the time. Your postcode is how businesses near you see it. Your mobile is how the business reaches you, and your email is optional. There is no question about when you need it: tell the business on the call.

What we leave out

There are no prices on this site, because every place and every clean is different and a business quotes once it understands the job. In Victoria we leave out after-builders and holiday rental cleans for now, because of the state's labour hire rules.

Worth checking with any business

  • An active ABN that matches the name on the quote.
  • A current public liability certificate.
  • What the clean covers, and their re-clean terms, in writing.

Questions

Questions about how Cleaner Scout works

Who gets my phone number?

The cleaning business that takes your job. The tick box on the form says it: you agree to Cleaner Scout sharing your details with one local cleaning business so they can contact you about this job.

Do I have to go ahead once they quote?

No. Their quote is yours to accept or not.

Where this comes from

Tenancy and bond rules change, so check with your state's renting authority before you rely on a date or a rule. How we write and check these pages.
