Bookings & Confirmation

3.1 Booking Process

Bookings can be made via our website contact or quote form, by phone at 0488 857 577, or by email at info@homecleanerssydney.com. A booking is not confirmed until you receive written or verbal confirmation from a member of our team.

3.2 Quote Acceptance

All quotes are provided based on the information you supply about your property (number of bedrooms, bathrooms, property type, and any requested add-ons). Quotes are valid for 14 days from the date of issue. Accepting a quote — whether verbally, in writing, or by making payment — constitutes your agreement to these Terms.

3.3 Accurate Information

You agree to provide accurate and complete information when requesting a quote or making a booking. If the property condition, size, or requirements differ materially from the information provided at the time of booking, we reserve the right to:

  • Revise the quoted price to reflect the actual scope of work required
  • Decline to proceed with the clean if the additional scope cannot be accommodated in the scheduled time
  • Apply a call-out fee if we attend the property and are unable to complete the service due to information inaccuracies

3.4 Property Condition

Our quoted prices assume a property in a reasonable state of cleanliness. For properties that have been unoccupied for an extended period, have experienced hoarding, building work, severe pet odours, or other unusual conditions, additional charges may apply. We will always notify you before commencing additional work and obtain your approval of any revised price.

Please note: If inside cupboards are required as part of an end of lease or deep clean, they must be completely empty before our team arrives. If cupboards are not empty, this portion of the service cannot be completed and no refund or adjustment will be made for the time loss caused.

Pricing & Payment

4.1 Pricing

All prices are listed in Australian dollars (AUD) and are inclusive of GST. Current pricing for all services is published on our website at homecleanerssydney.com/price. The quoted price for your specific booking will be confirmed before your appointment.

4.2 What Is Included

All quoted prices include labour, professional-grade eco-friendly cleaning products, and all necessary equipment. We do not charge separately for these items unless otherwise agreed in writing.

4.3 Regular Cleaning Discounts

Discounts for recurring bookings are applied as follows:

FrequencyDiscount AppliedMinimum Bookings

Payment is due on the day of service unless a prior arrangement has been made in writing. We accept payment by bank transfer, credit card, debit card, or other methods as agreed at the time of booking. Invoices not paid within 7 days of the service date may incur a late payment fee of 10% of the invoice amount.

5

Cancellation & Rescheduling

5.1 Cancellation by Customer

We understand that circumstances change. Our cancellation policy is as follows:

Notice GivenFee Applied
More than 48 hours before scheduled startNo charge — full refund if prepaid
24–48 hours before scheduled start50% of the booked service price
Less than 24 hours before scheduled start100% of the booked service price
No show / locked out on arrival100% of the booked service price

Cancellation fees reflect the cost of committing our team's time and the loss of income from other bookings declined to accommodate yours. We appreciate your understanding.

5.2 Rescheduling by Customer

You may reschedule a booking at no charge if you provide at least 48 hours notice. Rescheduling requests with less than 48 hours notice are treated as a cancellation for the purposes of the fee schedule above, unless an alternative date within 7 days is agreed upon.

5.3 Cancellation by Home Cleaners Sydney

We reserve the right to cancel or reschedule a booking in the event of unforeseen circumstances including staff illness, severe weather, vehicle issues, or other events beyond our reasonable control. In such cases, we will notify you as early as possible and offer the next available appointment at no additional charge. We will not be liable for any loss or inconvenience arising from a cancellation made in good faith under these circumstances.

5.4 Cancelling a Regular Cleaning Schedule

Regular cleaning schedules operate with no lock-in contract. You may cancel your ongoing schedule at any time by providing at least 48 hours notice before your next scheduled appointment. Individual cancellation fees as outlined above still apply to any specific booking cancelled with insufficient notice.

6

Access to Your Property

6.1 Your Responsibility to Provide Access

You are responsible for ensuring our team has unobstructed access to your property at the agreed appointment time. This may be via your presence at the property, a key left in an agreed secure location, a lockbox code, or access via building management for strata properties.

6.2 Failure to Provide Access

If our team arrives at your property at the scheduled time and is unable to gain access for any reason — including but not limited to no one being present, keys not being available, access codes not working, or the property being occupied in a way that prevents cleaning — a 100% cancellation fee will apply and the booking will be treated as a no-show.

6.3 Pets

You must inform us at the time of booking if pets will be present at the property during the clean. For the safety of our team and your pets, we request that animals are secured or confined to an area where cleaning will not take place. We reserve the right to decline to enter areas where unsecured animals pose a risk to our team.

6.4 Key Holding

Where you provide a key for access to your property, it will be handled with care and returned as agreed. We accept no liability for loss or damage caused by key provision unless resulting from our gross negligence.

6.5 Safe Working Environment

You agree to ensure the property is reasonably safe for our team to work in — including that utilities (water, electricity) are available and functional, and that there are no known hazards (asbestos, mould infestations, biohazards, structural risks) that could endanger our staff. If a hazard is identified on arrival, we reserve the right to suspend the clean until the hazard is resolved, and a cancellation fee may apply.

7

Satisfaction Guarantee

Our commitment: If you are not completely satisfied with any aspect of your clean, contact us within 24 hours and we will return to re-clean the affected areas at no charge.

7.1 Conditions of the Satisfaction Guarantee

Our satisfaction guarantee applies to all bookings subject to the following conditions:

  • The complaint must be reported to us within 24 hours of the completion of the clean
  • The concern must relate to work that was within the agreed scope of the original service
  • The property must not have been used, occupied, or had additional work performed in the area concerned between the completion of the clean and the re-clean request
  • The guarantee covers re-cleaning of the specific areas of concern — it does not constitute a full refund of the service fee

7.2 How to Make a Complaint

To make a satisfaction complaint, please contact us by phone at 0488 857 577 or email at info@homecleanerssydney.com within 24 hours of service completion. Please include your name, property address, booking date, and a description of the concern (photographs are helpful but not required).

7.3 Resolution

Upon receiving a valid complaint, we will schedule a re-clean of the affected areas at the earliest mutually convenient time — typically within 48–72 hours. If a re-clean is not possible or does not resolve the concern to your satisfaction, we will discuss an appropriate remedy on a case-by-case basis, which may include a partial or full service credit at our discretion.

8

Bond Back Guarantee — End of Lease Cleaning

Our Bond Back Guarantee: If your property manager or agent identifies cleaning issues directly related to our service within 72 hours of completion, we will return and re-clean those specific areas at no additional charge.

8.1 Scope of the Guarantee

Our bond back guarantee applies exclusively to our End of Lease Cleaning service and is subject to the following conditions:

  • The complaint or re-clean request must be received within 72 hours of the completion of the end of lease clean
  • The concern must relate to areas and tasks within the agreed scope of the end of lease service as specified in our checklist and confirmed at booking
  • The property must not have been re-occupied, lived in, or had any cleaning, maintenance, or trades work performed between our completion and the inspection
  • The cleaning concern must be confirmed by the property manager, agent, or landlord — not solely asserted by the outgoing tenant
  • Our original clean must have been paid in full before the re-clean is scheduled

8.2 What the Guarantee Does Not Cover

The bond back guarantee does not apply to:

  • Damage, wear and tear, or pre-existing conditions that are beyond the scope of cleaning (e.g. scuff marks on walls, carpet staining requiring carpet replacement, mould resulting from structural issues)
  • Items not included in the standard end of lease service scope or not agreed as add-ons at booking (e.g. exterior windows on multi-storey properties, pest control, flea treatment unless booked)
  • Concerns raised more than 72 hours after the completion of the service
  • Properties where additional occupancy, cleaning, or work has been performed between our service and the agent's inspection
  • Failure to recover bond for reasons unrelated to cleaning (e.g. unpaid rent, property damage, lease violations)

The bond back guarantee is a commitment to re-clean specific areas identified as unsatisfactory — it is not a guarantee that your bond will be returned by your landlord or agent, nor is it a cash refund guarantee. Bond return decisions are made by the landlord or agent and are subject to factors outside our control.

Liability & Insurance

9.1 Public Liability Insurance

Home Cleaners Sydney holds current public liability insurance covering our cleaning operations across Sydney. This insurance provides cover for accidental property damage or personal injury caused by our team during the course of a booked cleaning service.

9.2 Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Australian law, our total liability to you for any claim arising from or in connection with a booking — whether in contract, tort (including negligence), or otherwise — shall not exceed the total amount paid by you for the specific service giving rise to the claim.

We are not liable for:

  • Indirect, consequential, or economic loss (including loss of income, business, or anticipated savings)
  • Loss or damage caused by pre-existing wear, structural defects, or conditions that were present before our service
  • Loss of or damage to cash, jewellery, artwork, irreplaceable items, or collectibles (please secure or remove such items before our team arrives)
  • Damage caused by cleaning products used in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions on surfaces that were previously damaged, incorrectly sealed, or incompatible with standard cleaning products
  • Any failure to provide service arising from circumstances beyond our reasonable control (see clause 5.3)

9.3 Consumer Guarantees

Nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude, restrict, or modify any consumer guarantee, right, or remedy that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL) contained in Schedule 2 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth). Our liability for a failure to comply with a consumer guarantee is limited, where permitted by the ACL, to the resupply of the service or payment of the cost of having the service resupplied.

10

Damage Claims

Important: All damage claims must be reported to us within 24 hours of the completion of the clean. Claims reported after this period cannot be assessed or accepted.

10.1 Reporting Damage

If you believe our team has caused damage to your property or belongings during a cleaning service, you must notify us in writing (by email to info@homecleanerssydney.com) within 24 hours of the service completion. Your notification should include:

  • Your name, property address, and booking date
  • A description of the item or area damaged
  • Photographs of the damage
  • An estimate of the replacement or repair cost where possible

10.2 Assessment

Upon receiving a damage report, we will assess the claim and respond within 3 business days. We may request access to inspect the damage in person or seek assessment from a relevant tradesperson or valuer. We will work with you in good faith to reach a fair resolution.

10.3 Items We Cannot Be Responsible For

We strongly recommend that prior to any cleaning appointment, you:

  • Secure or store valuables, jewellery, cash, and irreplaceable personal items
  • Inform us of any fragile, antique, or specialty surfaces that require specific care or must not be cleaned with standard products
  • Ensure that items left in cleaning areas are intentionally left for the clean and not personal belongings that could be moved or accidentally damaged

We are not liable for damage to items that were not disclosed as requiring special handling, or for pre-existing damage that was not documented before our service commenced.

11

Customer Conduct

We expect all customers to treat our team members with respect and dignity. Home Cleaners Sydney has a zero-tolerance policy for harassment, aggression, verbal abuse, discrimination, or any other conduct that makes our staff feel unsafe or uncomfortable.

If a member of our team is subjected to unacceptable conduct at your property, we reserve the right to:

  • Withdraw our team from the property immediately without completing the service
  • Charge the full service fee as a cancellation fee
  • Refuse future bookings from that customer
  • Report the conduct to the relevant authorities where appropriate

Our team members will never clean in areas where they feel unsafe. You agree to ensure that the working environment at your property is safe, respectful, and free from hazards before and during our visit.

12

Non-Solicitation of Staff

Our cleaners are engaged, trained, and managed by Home Cleaners Sydney. By booking our services, you agree not to directly solicit, engage, or employ any cleaning team member introduced to you through our services — whether as an employee, contractor, or in any other capacity — for a period of 12 months from the date of the most recent booking.

A breach of this clause will entitle us to claim a fee equivalent to $2,500 AUD as liquidated damages, which represents a reasonable pre-estimate of our recruitment, training, and loss-of-service costs arising from such a breach.

This clause does not prevent you from responding to a public advertisement placed by an individual team member after their employment with us has ended.

13

Privacy

The collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information is governed by our Privacy Policy, which is available at homecleanerssydney.com/privacy-policy. By agreeing to these Terms, you also acknowledge and accept our Privacy Policy.

We handle all personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles.

Governing Law & Disputes

16.1 Dispute Resolution

Before commencing any legal action, you agree to first contact us in writing at info@homecleanerssydney.com and allow us a reasonable opportunity (no less than 14 days) to respond and attempt to resolve the dispute in good faith.
