More than the everyday clean. Is it the one you need?
Is a spring clean right for you?
The once-a-year reset, done for you.
A spring clean clears what builds up over a closed-up winter: grease in the kitchen, scale and soap scum in the bathroom, and dust along the edges and up high. Tell us about build-up and sensitive surfaces before the visit.
- Inside oven included; fridge and kitchen cupboards optional
- Skirting boards, door frames and rangehood
- A detailed clean for a furnished home
Plan a little access for the extra detail: empty the appliances and cupboards you’d like cleaned. Interior window glass is an optional extra.
Moving into an empty home, or out of one? Book the end of lease & move-in clean instead: it is the detailed clean for an empty home.

What is a spring clean?
A spring clean is a once-a-year, top-to-bottom clean of the whole home. We book it as our deep clean: everything in a standard clean, plus the inside of the oven and dishwasher, the rangehood filters, tile grout, skirting boards, door frames, ceiling fans and window tracks.

Inclusions come from the checklist our cleaners work through on every visit of that service, and the extras offered in booking. Prices are AUD per visit from our booking calculator, including GST and the Care & Cover fee, for a home that has been kept on top of, with no extras or discount code. Prices are the same in every city we serve. Time booked is for one cleaner; a team of two shares it, so they are on site for about half as long. Regrouting, sealing, mould removal and exterior windows are not part of any clean.
When should you book a spring clean?
In Australia, spring runs from September to November, and that’s when most people think about a spring clean. It works at any time of year, whenever the home needs more than an everyday clean.
After winter
Clear the grease, scale and dust that build up while the windows stay shut.
Before the holidays
Get the inside of the oven and fridge done before Christmas cooking and guests. November is our busiest month, about 22% above the yearly daily average across 2017 to 2024 (seasonal booking patterns), so book early for a date before Christmas.
As a gift
A spring clean makes a practical Christmas present for parents or a new family: house cleaning gift cards.
Before a regular plan
A spring clean sets the baseline, then standard cleans keep it there.
Moving out? Book end of lease
An empty rental needs the end of lease clean, which adds interior windows, inside wardrobes and walls.

Optional extras
Choose available extras in booking and review their price before adding them.
GOOD TO KNOW BEFOREHAND
Outside the usual scope
Mould removal, hazardous waste, heavy lifting, high-reach areas and chandeliers aren’t part of these domestic cleans. Repairs, pest control and gardening need separate arrangements.
Carpet steam cleaning isn’t part of the clean itself; vacuuming is included. You can add carpet steam cleaning in booking or book it on its own. If your lease asks for a professional carpet clean, keep the receipt.
Regrouting, sealing, exterior windows and other specialist work aren’t part of our cleans. A balcony, patio or garage can be added as an extra; ask the team about anything else before booking.
Check a particular taskOnce the checklist matches your home, compare providers. House cleaning providers in Australia compared. Compare cleaning providers’ inclusions, prices, who arranges the cleaner and what happens if a task is missed.

WHO WE WELCOME INTO YOUR HOME
Experienced cleaners. Thoughtful checks.
We look for people who already know how to clean professionally and are committed to quality service. Our application process checks who they are, how they work and whether they are ready for the services they offer.
Identity verification
Cleaners complete an identity check before they can be approved to take bookings.
Professional cleaning checks
New applicants tell us about their professional cleaning experience, skills and equipment for the services they offer. Answers that need a closer look are flagged for review.
Mandatory safety checks
Every cleaner completes practical safety questions covering cleaning products, surface care and keeping bathroom and kitchen cloths separate. Safety answers that need attention must be resolved before they can take new jobs.
Phone screening
We screen every applicant over the phone before approval.
Online orientation
Our signup flow includes three short cleaning videos with quizzes covering kitchens, bathrooms and living areas.
Quality & ratings checks
Our checks continue after approval. Customers can rate every clean. We closely monitor each cleaner’s ratings and feedback, and follow up when a clean falls short.
A personal quality promise
Each cleaner personally accepts our quality agreement for the services they offer during signup and skills setup. They commit to doing their best to deliver a premium clean and returning at no extra charge if you report a cleaning concern or leave a low rating within 48 hours of your clean ending. The 48 hours is for reporting a concern; the return visit is arranged afterwards.
Team members complete their own checks and make their own quality promise. A team leader’s experience does not replace each cleaner’s personal skills, safety checks or identity verification.
Care & Cover
A little more peace of mind.
Every clean comes with Care & Cover: our Happiness Guarantee, published insurance cover and a team to turn to.
- 01The Happiness GuaranteeIf something on the booked list isn't right, tell us within 48 hours. We arrange a complimentary re-clean of those areas within seven business days, and if you're still unhappy we review it and offer a fair credit or refund.
- 02Up to $10 million public liability insuranceOur service terms describe up to $10 million in public liability insurance through Chubb Insurance Australia. If something is damaged, send a photo and a reasonable estimate, and it goes through the separate damage and insurance process.
- 03A team to turn toCall 1300 009 363, Monday to Saturday, 9 to 5, or get help online. You pay after your clean, and cancellation is free up to 24 hours before.
Care & Cover isn't an insurance policy, and conditions apply: a re-clean doesn't apply when a clean couldn't go ahead as booked, such as no access, water or power. Care & Cover, in full · Service terms

CLOSER TO HOME
Spring cleaning by city
Read the local guide for your city, then check your suburb and available dates in booking.
01How much does it cost to spring clean a house?
The price depends on the size of the home, its condition and any extras, and you see it before you book.
02What month do people do spring cleaning?
In Australia, spring is September, October and November, so most people spring clean then. Northern-hemisphere articles say March to May, which is autumn here.
03Is a spring clean the same as a deep clean?
Yes. With us a spring clean is our deep clean, booked for the season. If you want the same clean at another time of year, book a deep clean.
04Do I need to be home for a spring clean?
No. Add entry instructions to your booking if you won’t be home, and keep pets secured.
01How is Deep different from Standard?
02Is this a mould or specialist grout treatment?
03How is the price worked out?
04Do I need to supply products or equipment?
05What if I need to change my booking?
06Are your cleaners insured?
Extras, and what a spring clean doesn’t include
Interior window glass, blinds, wall washing (every wall in a room, beyond the mark spot-cleaning included), a load of laundry (washed, dried and folded), a balcony or patio and the garage can be added. Mould removal, regrouting or sealing, exterior windows and carpet steam cleaning aren’t part of a spring clean.
Extras and their prices are shown in booking.
BEFORE WE ARRIVE
How to prepare for a spring clean
No need to clean first. Clear the spaces you want cleaned inside, so the time goes on cleaning rather than moving things.
Fridge and oven
Move the food in your fridge onto one shelf or into a cooler bag, and take anything stored in the oven out, so both can be cleaned inside.
Cupboards and drawers
Empty the kitchen cupboards and drawers you want cleaned inside, or tell us which ones to do.
Benches and surfaces
Put away what you can, so the surfaces underneath can be reached.
Build-up and delicate surfaces
Mention heavy grease, stone or timber benchtops and anything delicate in your booking notes.
Access, parking and pets
Add entry instructions if you won’t be home, arrange parking and keep pets secured.
Preparation helps the cleaner reach the agreed areas. Do not move heavy furniture or attempt unsafe access; discuss any obstruction or special requirement before the visit.
