What is included in a pre-sale clean?

Our pre-sale cleaning service is a detailed, room-by-room deep clean designed to present your property at its best possible condition before photography, open homes or private inspections. It includes the kitchen and all appliances (oven, cooktop, rangehood), bathrooms and powder rooms, living areas and bedrooms, internal windows and blinds, skirting boards, doors and light switches, and removal of all visible dust, marks and debris. Additional services such as steam carpet cleaning, exterior window cleaning and outdoor areas are available on request and will be quoted separately.

A professionally cleaned property photographs better, makes a stronger first impression at inspections, and signals to buyers that the home has been well maintained. Presentation directly impacts sale price and time on market, particularly in Melbourne’s prestige property segment where buyer expectations are high.

Our rate is $55 per hour, per professional (GST not included). For a typical 3–4 bedroom Melbourne property, most pre-sale cleans require 2 professionals for 4–6 hours. We always provide a written proposal with a fixed total price before we start — so you and your client know exactly what to expect. Request your proposal or call us on 1300 798 490.

A regular clean maintains a home’s day-to-day cleanliness. A pre-sale clean is a comprehensive, once-off deep clean that covers every surface, fixture and appliance — including areas that are rarely touched in routine cleaning, such as oven interiors, rangehoods, grout, tracks, blinds and skirting boards. The goal is a property that looks, feels and photographs as close to brand new as possible.

We recommend booking at least 3–5 business days before your photography date to ensure availability. That said, we can often accommodate urgent timelines. — call us directly on 1300 798 490 or 0434 705 228 for same-day or next-day requests. Our office hours are Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.

Yes — working with agents, staging professionals and property managers is a core part of what we do. We’re experienced in coordinating around staging teams on-site, working within tight pre-shoot windows, and communicating directly with property owners when required. We can also set up preferred supplier arrangements for agencies who require regular pre-sale cleaning across multiple listings.

We understand that listings can move quickly and timelines shift. Call us directly on 1300 798 490 or 0434 705 228 and we’ll do our best to fit you in. Urgent availability is subject to our team’s schedule, but we always try to help.

Steam carpet cleaning, exterior window cleaning and outdoor/alfresco areas are available as add-ons and will be included in your written proposal if requested. Just let us know when you submit your enquiry.

Yes. We issue compliant tax invoices (ABN included) for every job — formatted for easy submission to clients, principals or your accounts team. We can also address invoices to the agency directly if required.

Yes. All of our cleaning professionals are fully trained, police-checked and covered by public liability insurance. We take discretion seriously: our team members are briefed on the professional context of every pre-sale job and understand the importance of working quietly and efficiently around other trades, stylists and photographers.

You can request a written proposal using the form, or book directly online via our scheduling system. For bespoke quotes or large properties, we recommend requesting a proposal first so we can confirm the right scope and team size for your listing.
