How to Choose the Right Cleaning Service
With dozens of cleaning companies operating in Brisbane, choosing the right one can be overwhelming. Here's our honest guide to what you should look for.
1. Check Insurance and ABN
This is non-negotiable. Any professional cleaning service should have:
- A valid Australian Business Number (ABN)
- Public liability insurance
- Workers' compensation insurance
Without these, you could be liable if a cleaner is injured in your home or if your property is damaged. Always ask for proof.
2. Read Real Reviews
Don't just check the company's website. Look at Google Reviews, Facebook, and independent review sites. Pay attention to:
- Consistency of service quality
- How the company responds to negative reviews
- Specific details mentioned by reviewers
- Recent reviews (not just old ones)
3. Understand the Pricing
Be wary of prices that seem too good to be true — they usually are. Common pricing red flags:
- Hidden fees added after the quote
- No clear pricing structure
- Significantly below market rates (often means cut corners)
A fair rate for general cleaning in Brisbane ranges from $40-$60 per hour depending on the service type.
4. Ask About Products and Equipment
Quality cleaning companies invest in professional-grade equipment and safe cleaning products. Ask whether they:
- Bring their own supplies
- Use eco-friendly products
- Have equipment for different surfaces
5. Look for Guarantees
A confident cleaning company will stand behind their work. Look for:
- Satisfaction guarantee (free re-clean if unhappy)
- Bond-back guarantee for end-of-lease cleans
- Clear communication about what's included
6. Communication and Professionalism
From the first point of contact, evaluate:
- Response time to enquiries
- Clarity of booking process
- Willingness to customise services
- Professional appearance and conduct
