Booking & Payments

How do I book a cleaning service?

You can book directly through our website by choosing your service type, selecting your preferred date and time, and confirming payment. You’ll receive an instant confirmation by email, SMS, or WhatsApp.

Do I pay at the time of booking or after the job?

Payment is securely processed at the time of booking to reserve your slot. Funds are held in escrow until the service is completed and approved by the client, ensuring both parties are protected.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept major debit/credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex) via Stripe-secured gateway. For approved business accounts, we also support invoice payments.

Can I modify or reschedule my booking?

Yes — you can reschedule once for free if requested at least 24 hours before the scheduled start time. Additional reschedules attract a small processing fee based on job type.

What if I cancel my booking?

Cancellations made before the lock window are fully refundable. Cancellations within the lock window (typically within 24 hours of the job) may incur a cleaner compensation fee, which is deducted from your refund to cover their reserved time.

Do you charge GST?

Yes, all GetCleaners services include 10% GST, shown transparently on your invoice.

Do you bring your own cleaning supplies and equipment?

Yes, our cleaners come equipped with professional-grade supplies and tools compliant with Australian Standards AS 4351 or equivalent. Clients who provide their own equipment receive a $25 discount.

How long will my cleaning take?

Completion times depend on your property size and service level booked. Each service has documented cleaning checklists published on our website. Times specified at booking are binding commitments, with a tolerance of ±60 minutes for access or traffic delays.

Can I trust the cleaners entering my property?

Absolutely. Every GetCleaners partner passes ID verification, police check, and insurance validation before activation. Cleaners are continually rated after every job as part of our Trust Score system.

After-Service Support

What if I’m not satisfied with the cleaning?

Customer satisfaction is our top priority. Please contact us within 24 hours of the service via WhatsApp, phone, or email. We’ll arrange a reclean or partial refund depending on the situation, after verifying through photos or feedback.

How do I rate or provide feedback?

After every job, you’ll receive a simple link to rate your cleaner and share feedback. Your review helps maintain high-quality standards and ongoing rewards for cleaners.

Do you offer any guarantees?

Yes. All jobs come with a GetCleaners Satisfaction Guarantee — if the service doesn’t meet our published checklist or quality standards, we will make it right at no additional cost.
