Prepare your cleaning quote checklist

What is included—and what needs its own quote?

Regular cleaning

Ongoing upkeep: agree the rooms, bathrooms, kitchen surfaces, dusting and floors.

Confirm whether making beds, bins and cleaning products are included.

Read the scope guide

Deep cleaning

A separately agreed first clean or detailed clean. Ask for the extra tasks to be named.

Inside ovens, cupboards, skirting boards, windows and heavy build-up need explicit agreement.

Read the scope guide

End-of-lease cleaning

A one-off scope tied to the property condition and the agreed handover requirements.

Check carpet cleaning, windows, appliances and any re-clean terms separately.

Read the scope guide

These are prompts for agreeing a scope, not promises that every provider includes the same work.

How reliable is this estimate?

Modelled ranges are planning assumptions. They do not establish what Sydney households paid. Operator figures appear only after reconciliation and only for the matching bedroom and frequency group. Deep and end-of-lease selections never borrow regular-clean booking statistics.

MaidForYou is owned by FairCost’s founder. Repeated visits are bookings, not independent households. One company’s customers and inclusions may differ from yours.

Common questions

Is weekly cleaning cheaper than fortnightly?

Ask for both prices for the same task list. Without a matching verified frequency cohort, this calculator does not assume a discount.

Why does my quote differ from this range?

Check the clean type, bathrooms, initial condition, time allowance, access and extras. A quote outside a modelled range is not by itself evidence of overcharging.

Does the price include GST?

The selected record displays its GST basis. If it is unknown, ask the provider to confirm the total payable in writing.

Can I see real invoices?

Examples are published only after permission and anonymisation checks. We do not create sample customer invoices to fill an empty section.
