Partnerships with Over 50 Perth Real Estate Agencies
Our established relationships with more than 50 real estate agencies across Perth provide multiple layers of consumer protection that individual operators cannot offer:
Quality Assurance Through Partnership Accountability: Real estate agencies only maintain relationships with cleaning contractors who consistently deliver results that satisfy property managers and pass inspections. Our extensive partnership network demonstrates:

Addressing Consumer Protection Payment Concerns
Fair Policy Despite Government Warnings
Consumer Protection specifically warned tenants against paying money upfront, stating in their official announcement: “If the cleaner doesn’t show, or does a bad job, your money might disappear with them.” While we understand these concerns, our payment structure balances consumer protection with legitimate business needs through a carefully designed approach.
Our Payment Structure:
- 10% deposit to secure booking and demonstrate mutual commitment
- Remainder paid 48 hours prior to cleaning date, allowing final confirmation of arrangements
- No full upfront payment as warned against by Consumer Protection
- Secure payment processing with consumer protection safeguards
This structure provides several consumer protections:
- Minimal Financial Risk: Only 10% payment until service delivery is imminent
- Service Commitment: Advance payment ensures priority scheduling and resource allocation
- Final Confirmation: 48-hour payment timing allows final walkthrough and arrangement confirmation
- Professional Accountability: Our established business reputation protects against service failures
Transparent Pricing with Clear Communication
One significant issue highlighted in Consumer Protection complaints was unclear pricing and unexpected charges. Our approach addresses this directly through comprehensive upfront communication.
What Our Base Quote Includes:
- Complete interior cleaning of all rooms as specified
- Kitchen appliance cleaning including oven, stovetop, and rangehood
- Bathroom deep cleaning including tiles, grout, and fixtures
- Floor cleaning and carpet vacuuming throughout
- Window cleaning (interior surfaces)
- Light fixture and ceiling fan cleaning
- Basic outdoor area cleaning where applicable
What Requires Additional Assessment: We clearly communicate that walls and blinds cleaning are not included in our standard quote but are available as additional services. This transparency addresses Consumer Protection concerns about unexpected charges by:
- Clear Initial Communication: All quotes explicitly state wall and blind cleaning exclusions
- On-Site Assessment: Our team evaluates additional cleaning needs during property inspection
- Customer Confirmation Required: No additional work proceeds without explicit customer approval
- Transparent Pricing: Additional charges are clearly explained and agreed upon before work begins
This approach ensures customers understand exactly what they receive for their base investment while maintaining flexibility for properties requiring additional attention.
Comprehensive Service Process Addressing Consumer Concerns
Pre-Service Communication and Confirmation
Day-Before Reminder System: We contact every customer 24 hours before their scheduled cleaning to:
- Confirm appointment timing and access arrangements
- Review property access details and any special requirements
- Answer any final questions about the cleaning process
- Ensure customer availability for post-service walkthrough
This proactive communication addresses Consumer Protection concerns about poor customer service and failed expectations.
On-Site Assessment and Verification
Property Verification Process: Upon arrival, our team conducts a comprehensive assessment to:
- Verify Booking Details: Confirm correct number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and living areas match the booking
- Assess Property Condition: Evaluate the scope of cleaning required and identify any challenging areas
- Document Pre-Existing Issues: Photograph any existing damage or wear to protect all parties
- Communicate Additional Requirements: Discuss any extra services like wall or blind cleaning with transparent pricing
Customer Communication Before Additional Charges: If additional cleaning services are recommended, we:
- Explain the specific requirements and why they’re necessary
- Provide clear pricing for additional services
- Obtain explicit customer approval before proceeding
- Document all agreements and communications
This process directly addresses Consumer Protection complaints about unexpected charges and poor communication.
Quality Assurance and Customer Satisfaction
15-Minute Post-Service Walkthrough: Upon completion, we always invite customers for a comprehensive walkthrough to:
- Review all cleaned areas against our checklist
- Address any concerns or areas requiring additional attention
- Ensure customer satisfaction before final payment
- Provide cleaning completion documentation
This quality control measure addresses Consumer Protection concerns about companies refusing to return and fix issues, as we resolve any concerns immediately while still on-site.
