If you have a question about our amazing cleaning service, we’ve put together some of our most Frequently Asked Questions to help you. But you can always contact us if you have a specific question – we’re happy to help.
About Perth Maids
No. We are fully insured and handle all workers’ compensation and public liability insurance.
We require a minimum of 2 hours per booking.
We recommend the hours required for your home or office cleaning service based on the information you provide when we complete your in-home quote.
From 7:00 am to 7:00 pm.
We are also available on weekends and public holidays with no extra cost.
One of the reasons our customers consider us Perth’s best cleaning service is because we offer more inclusions than other cleaners. So, it can be hard to compare if you’re just looking at the cost.
Perth Maids offers an affordable, value-packed service you can trust, which includes pricing transparency and detailed cleaning inclusions. Plus, we’re fully trained, fully insured and police cleared to protect you from risk.
Yes. We back all our work with a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. If you aren’t happy with any area we’ve cleaned, text or call Mindy within 24 hours and we’ll come back and re-clean it at no cost.
Yes. Mindy selects and trains all of our team members before they are permitted to enter your home or office.
We provide ongoing training as new products and methods emerge on the market.
Each team includes a team leader who ensures that all tasks are completed. Mindy also visits periodically to ensure our teams are maintaining our high standards.
Yes, because your peace of mind is our priority. We have the best available insurances, including public liability and workers’ compensation coverage that include your home or office and our team members. Let us know if you need us to send you the certificates validating our cover.
Please visit What We Clean to see our many standard inclusions.
Choosing Your Cleaner
Over the years, we’ve found that the first cleaning service brings your home or office up to a specific standard that Perth Maids is committed to upholding. We need extra time to properly begin the process of eliminating mildew, soap scum, dust, and dirt from your home or office.
So, your initial clean may take longer and cost a little more than the rest of your services.
Contact us to request a free estimate.
We combine traditional and environmentally friendly cleaning products to protect your home or office, and ensure we deliver the highest standards possible. Our teams arrive fully equipped to clean, but If you want us to use any of your products, just let us know.
When you book a regular clean and stick to an agreed schedule, we aim to send the same team to clean your house or office.
The Perth Maids team leader learns your requirements, becomes familiar with your home or office and trains other team members to deliver consistent quality cleans. Occasionally, illness, holidays or staff changes may mean we need to change one of the team members.
If you need to change your cleaning date or time for any reason, we’ll try our best to send you the same cleaning team.
Yes, all our cleaners are police cleared. Mindy knows all our team members personally – they are selected based on their honesty, work ethic and high standards.
In most cases, we work in small, efficient teams of two. There is no better way to provide you with an effective, personalised, non-intrusive service.
Whether you need our regular home or office cleaning service every week, fortnight or even daily, you just have to ask. We’re flexible, so you can enjoy our cleaning services as often as you need them.
We also offer a range of one-off cleaning services for rental inspections and moving in or moving out cleans.
Of course! In fact, for regular cleaning services, we highly recommend booking a meeting with Mindy at your home or office. She will go through your cleaning requirements with you, then give you an accurate obligation-free quote based on the hours of cleaning you need.
Our process is transparent and professional right from the start. And, if you’re ready to get started, Mindy can even arrange your regular cleaning schedule during your meeting.
For one-off cleans, Mindy can give you an estimate via email, text or phone call.
About Your Clean
Our cleaners have a process in place so we can notify you if they damage anything in your home or office.
Please make sure you contact us as soon as possible if you discover a damaged item and we will do our best to resolve your issue asap.
Perth Maids is a fully insured cleaning company. We have full Public Liability insurance, which covers the full price for compensation if we cause damage to your property.
We love pets and are very careful around them. It’s best if you let us know in advance what kind of pets you have. We will take care to not startle them or accidentally let them outside. We also ask that you secure or confine them as appropriate, in case visitors make them nervous.
If your home or office has a security system, you can choose your preferred approach. You can disable the system when your clean is scheduled or give us entry and exit codes. We will reset the alarm when we leave.
It’s your choice. Many customers find it convenient and efficient to give us a key or leave one in a safe place, so they’re free to go out. Likewise, alarm systems can either be left off or you can give us entry and exit codes.
To get the most value from our cleaning service, it is helpful if you pick up toys, laundry, household items or clutter before we arrive. This allows us to move through your home or office more quickly, which can reduce the cost.
Please leave fresh linen out so we can change the bedding and towels. And put away any important documents and valuables.
No worries if you don’t have time to tidy up, Perth Maids is here to help. As we move through your house, we will neatly pile and arrange any items left on floors or furniture.
No, you are not locked into a contract for booking our regular cleaning service. But, if required, we can prepare a formal contract for home or office cleaning – just let us know.
Perth Maids offers spring cleans for homes and offices. You can also book moving in cleans, end-of-lease cleans, and rental inspection cleans. We know the standards and inclusions expected by real estate agents and we complete all necessary tasks in our cleans.
As well as our regular detailed home or office cleaning service, Perth Maids can provide the following services if requested in advance:
- Oven cleaning
- Fridge cleaning
- Wipe down blinds
- Change linen, make beds
- Ironing
- Laundry
- Reachable window cleaning
- Sweeping the garage, patio & outdoor areas
- Outdoor cobweb removal
- Steam carpet cleaning
You can add these services on to your regular clean, for example, you might want ironing every visit. Or, you can add them as a one-off to any individual visit, for example, you might just want your oven cleaned every now and then.
We only charge the normal hourly cleaning rate for the extra services – ask Mindy about pricing these extra services.
To provide you with the cleanest, healthiest environment for your home or office, Perth Maids uses our Detailed Cleaning System.
We add value by using HEPA-equipped vacuums to remove allergens from the air and furniture. And we include tasks other cleaners miss such as cleaning under beds and on top of appliances. It’s why so many of our customers recommend us to their friends as the most thorough, effective and professional choice in Perth.
No. Perth Maids will always arrive at your home or office with our own cleaning products and equipment. If you specifically want us to use your cleaning products or equipment (like Enjo, etc.) we can do so.
Head to our COVID update for all our processes to keep your home or office safe and clean.
Changes To Your Cleaning Schedule
Sure. If you can let us know at least 24 hours in advance – we will be happy to arrange this for you.
If you’re going away, please let us know at least 48 hours in advance. Many of our clients continue their cleaning while they’re on holiday so they return to a beautifully clean home.
We don’t charge any extra for cleaning on weekends and public holidays as we don’t want to disrupt your cleaning services. But, if you’d prefer to reschedule your clean, please let us know and we’ll make arrangements to move it to another day.
If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, please text or call Mindy at least 48 hours beforehand, so we can adjust our schedule and itinerary accordingly.
We’ll work with you to reschedule your appointment by checking the availability of your current cleaning team. If they’re not available for your new time, we’ll organise another cleaning team to make sure you don’t miss out.
