Cleaning services for your home
Six kinds of home clean, and how to pick yours.
Cleaner Scout finds a local cleaning business for six kinds of home clean, so start with the one that matches what's happening at your place.
We find the cleaner. The cleaning business quotes, cleans and invoices you directly.
Which cleaning service fits your situation?
You want the place kept on an even keel. House cleaning is a repeat visit, usually weekly or fortnightly. Living in a unit? See apartment cleaning.
You're moving out of a rental. That's an end of lease clean. Queensland and Darwin call it a bond clean, WA calls it a vacate clean, and some Sydney businesses say exit clean.
You live there, and it needs a proper catch-up. A deep clean reaches what regular cleans skip. It's also what people mean by a spring clean or a one-off clean.
The home is empty and you're moving in or selling. A move-in clean gets it ready for your furniture, and a pre-sale clean gets it ready for photos and open inspections.
The trades have just left. An after-builders clean deals with fine dust and residue, and cleaning after a renovation covers the home you've lived in throughout.
Guests are coming and going. A holiday rental clean resets a short-stay home between stays.
Oven cleaning and other extras inside any clean
An oven clean, inside windows, carpet steam cleaning and wall marks can be added to a clean in the form. They sit inside a clean rather than being a job on their own. Fumigation and flea treatment are pest control, a separate trade, so they aren't part of any clean here.
Which house cleaning services run in Victoria?
Regular, end of lease, deep and move-in cleans all run in Victoria. Cleaner Scout can't take after-builders or holiday rental cleans there for now.
What happens after you send us a cleaning job
We show the job to nearby matched cleaning businesses, and the first to take it gets your details. The business calls you, quotes, and agrees the price and the day with you. Cleaner Scout never does the cleaning: the business does the work and invoices you directly.

Can I book more than one kind of clean?
Send one job at a time, and mention the rest to the business when they call.
What if my job doesn't fit one of these?
Pick the closest one and add a note in the form. The business can talk it through with you when they call.
When the cleaning business calls
- Have the number of bedrooms and bathrooms handy, and anything extra you want done.
