How much do house cleaners typically charge?

Cleaning costs vary widely depending on the job type, property size and how much labour and specialist products are required. Simple regular cleans are generally much less than deep, builders or end-of-lease cleans that need extra time or treatments. The page shows live pricing for your area to help you compare quotes.

Do house cleaners charge call-out fees?

Many house cleaners include a call-out or minimum attendance fee to cover travel and initial assessment, and this is often shown separately from hourly labour charges. After-hours, weekend or urgent bookings commonly attract higher rates or multipliers. Always check quotes to see what is included and whether a call-out fee applies.

What qualifications should I look for in a house cleaner?

Cleaning work doesn't require a government licence, but look for industry memberships such as ACCA, CCA or BSCAA, proof of an active ABN and adequate public liability insurance. A current national police check is often requested for in-home access. These signals can help you assess professionalism and trustworthiness.
