How are estimates calculated?

 

Our quoting system is designed based on years of cleaning experience and takes into account:

 

●  The type of clean

●  The overall size of your home

●  The time required to clean it thoroughly

●  Fair payment for our cleaners

​

For a more detailed discussion, we are also happy provide quotes over the phone or in person at your home. Just give our friendly staff a call to arrange!

​

Our quotes are based on the size of your home and in all cases we assume one living area, hallways and a small laundry. There are options within the quoting screen to add additional rooms if you require.

 

Please note that although we do our best to quote accurately, if our cleaners feel they need more time once they arrive and see your house in detail, they will simply discuss with you whether you would like them to focus on what can be done within the time limit, or whether you would like to increase the allotted time. On the same account if they feel your clean requires less time they will advise us and your quote will be adjusted accordingly. This is fairly common once we have done a few cleans of the home.

​

If your house requires a deeper clean, we can tailor a quote to suit your needs. Sometimes all it takes is one longer clean and then you can move to our general cleaning services.

 

How long will my clean be?​

​

When you obtain an online quote you will be advised of how long the clean is expected to take. Time and prices are based on total cleaning hours. For example, if one cleaner performs the clean, it will take the number of hours stated. With a team of 2 cleaners, half the time will be required however total cleaning hours remains the same (example: 2 cleaners x 2 hours = 4 cleaning hours).

​

Can I book a number of hours instead?

​

Of course! If you would rather book a certain number of hours please complete the quote form based on the size of your house, however in the comments advise that you would like a specific number of hours. This is a good option for those who would like the cleaner to focus on certain areas each clean (rather than clean the whole house every time). 

​

If the cleaner is able to complete the above with time remaining they will focus the remaining time on a particular area. For example if you are having a weekly/fortnightly clean and time allows, they will clean additional areas more deeply and rotate these areas each week/fortnight. If you wish them to focus this time on a particular area please feel free to let them know.

​

Your cleaner will complete a checklist and leave this with you after every clean. The checklist will detail what has been completed, any extra tasks the cleaner was able to do in the time allowed, as well as any comments.
