Sydney cleaning prices

By home size

How much does a clean cost by home size in Sydney?

What shapes your home quote. Review the itemised total before booking.

The same home-cleaning price rules apply across the cities Simply Maid serves. Service, bedrooms and bathrooms, frequency, condition and selected extras set the quote; applicable fees and eligible offers are shown in booking. Your address determines coverage and available appointments.

Carpets and furnishings need separate selections. Check carpet cleaning prices in Sydney for area allowances and minimums, or upholstery cleaning prices in Sydney for couches and chairs.

Use the same home size, condition, extras and frequency when comparing quotes. Our current calculator prices do not carry a city premium; local historical booking figures describe the work customers booked, not a surcharge for living here.

By area

Does the price change by suburb in Sydney?

No. Our prices are the same in every suburb and every city. We have not yet recorded enough cleans in each area of Sydney to compare the homes booked there (we need 100 per area), so this guide gives one set of prices for the whole city. We don't add travel or parking charges by suburb.

Regular cleaning

Is regular cleaning cheaper in Sydney?

Yes. The table shows the price per visit and over a year.

Regular visits keep the home at a level that takes less time to maintain, which is what the discount reflects. Plans can be paused or changed in your account. If you are weighing it up, see is it cheaper to hire a cleaner or clean yourself?.

Not sure which schedule suits your household? Weekly, fortnightly or every 4 weeks compares them, with what each costs over a year.

Live prices are temporarily unavailable.

The first clean

Why can the first clean cost more?

Only if the home needs more attention. Later visits return to the regular price.

Booking your first clean? Your first clean, explained covers what to get ready, how the cleaner gets in and what to do if something is missed.

Live prices are temporarily unavailable.

What you're paying for

What do standard, deep and end of lease cleans include?

Each service has a fixed checklist, and the price covers that checklist for your home size.

Standard clean

Routine upkeep of kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms and living areas: benches, surfaces and floors, with floors vacuumed and mopped. It suits a home that is cleaned regularly. Inside the oven, fridge and cupboards and interior windows are optional extras. See the standard clean checklist.

Carpet steam cleaning

Hot-water extraction for bedrooms, living areas, halls and stairs, plus sofas, mattresses and rugs, on its own or added to a clean.

Every service

Your cleaner brings the supplies and equipment. Prices include GST and the Care & Cover fee, and you pay after your clean.

Extras

How much do extras cost?

Extras are priced individually, and several are already included in a deep or end of lease clean. The table shows each extra's price for each service.

Live prices are temporarily unavailable.

Market check

What do other Sydney cleaning companies charge?

Here is what other Sydney companies publish for the same services, beside our price for the same home today.

Sydney had the most published price lists of any city we checked. Four local companies publish a one-off standard clean price for a 2 bed, 1 bath home, from $125 to $200; each lists the oven as an extra, and only one says its price includes GST. Fixed end of lease prices for the same home ran from $400 to $425, with carpet steam extra at each.

Prices below are as each company publishes them, checked on the date shown. We count a price as lower or higher than ours only when it states GST treatment and is for the same bedrooms and bathrooms; "from" prices, regular-visit rates and hourly rates are listed for context, not counted.

Standard clean. None of these published prices meets all comparison requirements, including stated bedrooms, bathrooms and GST treatment, so we list them without counting cheaper or dearer. Also listed, not counted: 6 without stated GST treatment and 2 without a home size.

More formats

Deep clean. None of these published prices meets all comparison requirements, including stated bedrooms, bathrooms and GST treatment, so we list them without counting cheaper or dearer. Also listed, not counted: 4 without stated GST treatment and 1 starting price.

Published prices read from each provider’s own website on 12 October 2026, as advertised, not quotes for a specific home. GST is shown only where the provider states it; an ex-GST price is compared with 10% added. A price is counted as lower or higher only when it is a stated price for the same bedrooms and bathrooms and is not a regular-visit rate. A page that doesn’t mention a task tells us nothing about whether it is included. Providers that also publish a national price list are included only where they publish a page for this city.

Price questions

Sydney cleaning price questions

Is cleaning more expensive in Sydney than in other cities?

Not with Simply Maid. Our prices are the same in all seven cities we serve, so a home in Sydney costs the same as the same home in any other city. Other companies set their own prices.

Do I need to supply cleaning products or equipment?

No. Your cleaner brings the supplies and equipment for the service you book. If you have a sensitive surface or a product you'd like used, tell us before the visit.

When do I pay?

You pay after your clean. We may place a temporary security hold on your card before the visit; it is not a charge.

Can I cancel or change my booking?

Yes. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before your clean. Inside 24 hours a fee may apply under our booking terms.

What if something is missed?

Tell us within 48 hours of the clean, with photos if we ask for them, and we arrange a free re-clean of the missed areas within seven business days under our booking terms.

Do you add parking or travel charges?

No. We don't add parking or travel charges anywhere in Sydney. If your building has no visitor parking, add parking instructions when you book.

Homes we clean

What size homes do we clean in Sydney?

We have completed 0 standard cleans in Sydney since January 2021, fewer than the 100 we need before saying which home size is booked most here. The price-by-size table lists today's price for every size.

By the hour

How much does a cleaner cost per hour in Sydney?

Simply Maid doesn't charge by the hour: the price is fixed for your home before you book. The Sydney companies we checked that publish an hourly rate charge $66 to $75 an hour, usually with a two- or three-hour minimum.

An hourly quote only becomes a price once you know the hours. Ask how many hours they expect for your home, what the minimum is, and whether GST and products are included. The table shows the time we book for one cleaner by home size.

Live prices are temporarily unavailable.

End of lease

How much is an end of lease clean in Sydney?

Carpet steam cleaning, wall washing, garages, blinds and balconies are extras. Check your entry condition report and your agent's checklist before you book; NSW Fair Trading explains what tenants must leave behind in NSW. For local price lists, what our Sydney bookings show and NSW bond rules, see end of lease cleaning prices in Sydney; for the full checklist and booking, see end of lease cleaning in Sydney.

Sydney cleaning prices for the same home can look a long way apart.

Four Sydney companies publish a one-off clean of a two-bedroom, one-bathroom home for $125 to $200. Ours is $253. So how do you compare them fairly? Check four things.

First, the visit. A 'from' price, or a regular-visit rate, isn't the one-off price for your home.

Second, GST. Our price includes it. Most of the Sydney prices we checked don't say either way, so ask.

Third, the checklist. All four of those Sydney price lists charge extra to clean inside the oven.

One list shows $149 for this home. Add $60 for the oven, and $42 for the fridge, and it's $251, with GST not mentioned.

In our calculator, the same clean with the oven and fridge is $348, including GST.

So that price is still lower than ours, and it may suit you. Just make sure you're comparing the same job.

Fourth, if it's an hourly rate, ask how many hours, and the minimum. The Sydney rates we found were $66 to $75 an hour, with a three-hour minimum.

And ask what happens if something's missed. With us, tell us within 48 hours, and we'll arrange a re-clean under our Care & Cover terms.

Our prices are the same in every Sydney suburb, with no parking or travel charge. Every price we checked, with its source, is in the full guide at simplymaid.com.au/pricing/sydney

Comparing quotes

What should I check when comparing cleaning quotes?

Check what the price covers before you compare totals: hours, GST, inclusions, supplies, surcharges and what happens if something is missed.

Two quotes for the "same" clean can describe very different jobs. Before you compare totals, check:

  • Fixed price or hourly rate? For an hourly quote, ask how many hours they expect and whether there is a minimum of two or three hours.
  • Is it a "from" price? A starting price usually describes the smallest home in the best condition.
  • Is it for one visit or a regular plan? Weekly and fortnightly rates are lower than a one-off clean, ours included.
  • Does it include GST? A price quoted ex GST is about 9% lower than the same price with GST.
  • What is on the checklist? The oven, fridge, cupboards and interior windows are extras with some providers and included with others. For an end of lease clean, check carpets and wall marks.
  • Who supplies products and equipment? Some low hourly rates assume you supply them.
  • What surcharges apply? Weekends, public holidays, same-day bookings, a second storey, pets, parking and furnished homes are priced separately by some providers.
  • What happens if something is missed? Check how long you have to report it and the conditions, such as photos or an agent's report.
  • What does cancelling cost? Compare the notice period and fee.

Comparing Sydney services? Cleaners in Sydney compared sets the main ones side by side, from their own published terms.

Compare the whole clean. Keep unanswered conditions beside the price.

Ask each provider for the same written scope, pricing unit, frequency, minimum and full total. An unstated inclusion or GST treatment is unknown. A starting price, historical bill and current fixed quote are different kinds of evidence.

Value for money

What does a Simply Maid price include, and who does it suit?

A fixed checklist for your home at a price you see before you book, with GST, products, insurance and a free re-clean if something on the checklist is missed. It suits people who want that certainty more than the lowest hourly rate.

What our price includes

  • A fixed price for your bedrooms and bathrooms, shown before you book, with GST and the Care & Cover fee in it. Many providers also publish fixed prices, so compare the checklist as well as the total.
  • The same price on any day a cleaner is available.
  • Your cleaner brings the products and equipment, as most cleaning companies do.
  • Care & Cover: $10M public liability insurance and ID-verified cleaners. If something on the checklist is missed, tell us within 48 hours (we may ask for photos) and we arrange a free re-clean within seven business days; if you are still unhappy, we review it and offer a fair credit or refund. See our booking terms.
  • Free cancellation up to 24 hours before your clean; inside 24 hours a fee may apply under the current cancellation terms.
  • You pay after the clean. A temporary security hold is placed on your card about 48 hours before; it is not a charge.

Who we suit, and who we may not

We suit you if you want a set checklist done in one visit at a price you know beforehand, with someone to contact if something is missed. Another provider may suit you better if you want the lowest hourly rate, want to choose the hours and tasks yourself, or need work outside our published checklists. Carpet steam cleaning can be booked on its own or added to a deep or end-of-lease clean.

If that sounds like you, see how our Sydney house cleaning service works and check the price for your home.

Price history

How have cleaning prices changed in Sydney?

We do not have enough past bookings in Sydney for a reliable year-by-year record: we publish a year only when it has at least 30 comparable cleans. The national pricing guide shows how prices have changed across all seven cities.

Method

How we worked out these figures

Current prices come from our live booking calculator; booking figures come from completed Simply Maid cleans; market prices come from other companies' own websites. We keep the three apart.

Current prices

Read live from the same calculator the booking form uses, for a home that has been kept on top of, with no extras or discount code. They include GST and the Care & Cover fee. The calculator has no location input, so prices are identical in every city.

Booking figures

One completed clean is one observation. We exclude cancelled, test and staff bookings, $0 bookings and cleans refunded 90% or more, and net partial refunds off the price. Medians are shown only at 30 or more cleans from 20 or more customers, and the middle half only at 50 or more. Figures about what customers paid use only our current booking platform, because cleans on our previous platform were priced on old price lists. Home-size mixes use completed cleans from January 2021 on both platforms. Figures are recalculated daily. Our customers are not a sample of the whole market, so we don't present these as market averages.

Market prices

Prices published on each company's own website, read on the date shown: fixed price lists, 'from' prices, a company's own calculator and stated hourly rates. We exclude marketplace and guide estimates, sites that copy one price table across cities, franchise duplicates and pages that did not load. We don't convert flat prices into hourly rates.

Current prices, discounts, allocated times and interior inclusion summaries are read from the production booking catalogue. These describe new bookings; existing recurring customers retain their agreed terms. Historical paid prices and dated competitor research describe their stated periods.
