If there was an option for negative star, i would definately give them. I had a full-house pest control service with this company based on their promise of a 3-month warranty, stating that if pests returned, they would come back and retreat the property. Unfortunately, within just one month, ants and cockroaches were back in full force. I… Read more

contacted the company and was repeatedly told that they would speak to the manager and get back to me. That never happened. I called again and again — more than 10 times — and received the same empty promises with absolutely no follow-up or accountability.

This has been one of the worst experiences I have had with any service company. A warranty means nothing if the company refuses to honour it. While they may appear slightly cheaper than competitors, the level of service and commitment is far below acceptable standards. Saving a few dollars is simply not worth the frustration, wasted time, and poor customer service.

I will never use this company again and would not recommend them to anyone I know.

I booked a caper clean which should have included a pre vacuum and stain treatment. The cleaner was late and then started with the carpet cleaning straight away. I asked him about the pre treatments but he said it’s just one machine and it does all the jobs at the same time. It probably took him less that 15 minutes to do three rooms then at the… Read more

end he charged me only for the basic clean and said my carpets weren’t that bad so it was cheaper than the service I’d originally booked. When he was packing his things I checked the carpets and there were still clearly stains. Again I asked him and said that’s why I booked the more expensive service. He said it will dry better. The carpets looked no better dry, in fact I’ve had better results using a domestic carpet cleaner. I emailed the company to explain the situation and ask them to send someone else. They said that the cleaner didn’t bother with the stain treatment as he determined that it wouldn’t make a difference, which I think is ridiculous. I also asked how they can advertise three different service types and price points but their cleaner said they’re all the same, I never got a response to this. The clean and customer service were both hopeless. Ultimately a waste of time and money.

Don’t ever try to have their services unless you are ready to waste hundreds! We booked carpet cleaning, check the results in photos. They’ve cancelled floor/tiles cleaning as well on the day which resulted us to spend more hundreds to compensate for the urgency to other cleaning company. They’ll take your bookings to get customers but will cancel on the day if they decide they can’t make it.

Shocking what a scam – Absolute joke of a company. Paid for a deep carpet clean and made me pay over the phone. No stains were removed and the carpet was so filthy. More filthy than before he had come. Have been ringing every day for a week and nothing has been done about it. They keep telling me to hold and they will ring their superior just to have nothing done. The video attached is what I got out of the carpet myself the day after they had been

5- the carpets were barely damp and not clean or fresh at all 6- the people answering the phone were very rude and literally hung up on me when I requested they come back to re-do it 7- the property manger also rejected the clean and amid it wasn’t up to standard (I agree!) 8- the person who clean the carpets called me back and kept talking over me, not accepting feedback 9- I had to ask twice for my receipt to be sent 10-the carpet cleaning machine was extremely dirty when they arrived, incredibly unprofessional

THIS COMPANY IS A SCAM! DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY OR TIME! They book you in and confirm, then come out late. Instead of 2 people coming out, I was stuck filling the bucket and help moving the machine. I was charged extra for sanitising and paid cash.… Read more

They couldn't give me receipt. Two days later I get a text to confirm my appointment. I had to tell them a few times someone had already come out. Then I noticed the stains returned like they didn't come out. When I complained, they said they couldn't refund me because I didn't have proof. Ironically they didn't offer to come out to try again. I described the person who came out and they wouldn't budge. I hope they close down! Don't deal with this company.

 Follow-up  · The machine I'm referring to is the actual bulky steam cleaner that needed 2 people to move. The extra charge was $61, from $99 to $160. The initial quote was $99.

Booked cleaning for 11am on a Friday. Got a message at 12:18pm saying the guy would be 45min to an hour. Texted at 1:45pm “where are you” - no answer. 1:56pm cancelled. 2:02pm got a message “can come now”

What a horrible experience. When they showed up they started asking to be paid upfront in cash because it was my husband at home and not me. When calling to the office number, I was advised that all payments are taken upfront and invoice will be emailed to me 'later'. When I pointed out that it wasn't specified during my booking call or the… Read more

confirmation email, they just kept insisting for upfront cash payment. We eventually asked them to leave, didn't have any trust in them doing a good job.

Bogus company. Scamsters. Never showed up for end of lease cleaning. Had to rebook with other company at a way higher price (surcharge for urgency). Unprofessional idi*ts, do not know how to talk to customers. Do not, do not bother hiring these idi*ts.

DISAPPOINTED WITH THE CUSTOMER SERVICE - WOULD NOT RECOMMEND I had a very frustrating experience with this company. I initially booked them to steam clean the tiles at my mother's home last week. The day before the scheduled appointment, they called to say their machine was being repaired and the job couldn’t go ahead. We rescheduled for today at… Read more

9am. This morning, after 9am, the technician called and asked me to send photos of the tiles to determine which chemicals to bring. After reviewing the photos, he claimed the tiles were gloss and would need to be cleaned by hand, doubling the original quoted price. I explained they were ceramic tiles suitable for steam cleaning, but he insisted on the manual method and higher cost. This has wasted two days of my time and caused unnecessary inconvenience. I found the company to be unreliable and unprofessional, and I would not recommend their services at all.

If I could give less than zero stars, I would. Horrible job, absolutely unprofessional. I booked a same-day appointment for 8:30, nobody showed up by 9:00, and I had to call them myself. Only then did they reschedule me for 12. The guy who came was very rude. He “cleaned” three bedrooms and the living room in just 12 minutes — thankfully my carpet… Read more

Dont even bother calling them they are worth less. They are the worst service provider in canberra. The reviews are reflective of unprofessional service. The guy was 2.5 hrs late .

Do not use this company. I booked an end of lease clean with carpet cleaning and had to hire another company the next day to fix the missed spots. They said they couldn’t get stains out of the carpet and I got the stains off myself with a wet chux. I was quoted $570 over the phone and when the cleaner arrived he said $770 for a 2 bed ap or if I… Read more

didn’t pay cash it would be more. I had to hire another cleaning company after my final inspection. They didn’t clean on the day of booking either it was the next day. I advise they needed to rectify the clean and the cleaner just fought me on everything, huffing and puffing. Not professional at all.

Absolutely the worst company I've dealt with. They charged me $320 AUD for cleaning 2 rooms and 2 couches, but none of the stains were removed. The cleaner they sent was completely unprofessional and dishonest — he even offered a lower price if I paid him in cash and told the company I wasn’t available. I reported the poor service to the company,… Read more

but they’ve done nothing to resolve the issue. In fact, they’ve been intentionally delaying and avoiding any real action. Totally unacceptable and untrustworthy

Very disappointed with the end-of-lease cleaning service. I hired them expecting a professional job that would help me secure my bond back, but unfortunately, they did not deliver. Several areas were left untouched — including dust on window sills, stains still visible on floor, and grime in the kitchen and bathroom that should have been… Read more

thoroughly cleaned.

When I contacted them to raise my concerns, I received either delayed or no response at all. They advertise a bond-back guarantee, but clearly do not stand behind it. I ended up having to re-clean many areas myself.

Would not recommend this company to anyone looking for reliable or thorough end-of-lease cleaning. Completely unprofessional and not worth the money.

I recently paid for end-of-lease cleaning and ended up very disappointed. The cleaner came to inspect the place and changed the quote from $430 to $600 for a 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment. I told him not to bother and that I wouldn't pay that much. However, he decided to stay and do the job for the original quote of $430. An hour later, he… Read more

called to say he was done cleaning. I was surprised by how quickly he finished. A few hours later, I returned to check the work and found that the cleaning was not done properly, so I ended up cleaning it myself. I tried to call and message the cleaner, but he blocked me. I will never use their services again!

beaten up station wagon and carried in a cleaner that looked like he had just picked up at your local Bunnings, I should have pulled the pin.

After the gentleman finished ‘cleaning’ my lounge room carpet he told me that it should be dry in about 2 or 3 hours (it was a warm day) and to leave the doors and windows open, which I did. That evening, 8 hours later, the carpet was still sopping wet. I left the carpet free of furniture and left all windows open for 3 days. The carpet eventually dryed however, started to smell real bad. It appears that too much water had been used/not removed properly which resulted in damaging the underlay. It’s now a perfect environment for bacteria and fungi to grow and with 4 young children, it’s far from ideal. It’s unpleasant to walk into the house now and don’t even think about sitting in the lounge room due to the god awful smell.

All I can get out of their appalling customer service team is ‘sorry for your inconvenience. We will investigate and a manger will call before the end of the day.’ Thank goodness I didn’t hold my breath!

DO NOT use this company.

It is not professional cleaning. If you have time, you can hire a machine from bunnings or supermarket and do it even better than him. He didn't tell me the job is done on site with those machines that you can hire yourself. You will know it once they are on site. Out of desperation, I agreed that he can do it in our porch area. I asked him… Read more

whether I should clean the dust off the porch before he begins because I didn't want the back of my rugs get dusty. He said it would be fine and the back would be clean.

He qouted me for a 9sqm rug, a 6sqm rug, a 1sqm rug and two 2.5sqm runners. I decided that his method would damage my 9sqm rug so both of us agreed to keep that out. He still charged me the full amount. Although not expensive.

He left 4x wet rugs with dirty backing on my porch when he said he was done.

I paid him but now have to get my rugs cleaned byva professional. Or find time to hire a bunnings machine and at least do another clean by myself.

Complete rip off, to be honest. Despite what he claims at the time of booking, he did not issue a receipt either. Do not go by his advice and do not assume this is an honest business.

Appalling service. Zero integrity – The cheap in their business title is reference to the quality of their character. I engaged them to conduct a end of lease clean of my carpets and curtains. The contractor showed up late, argued on the quote, and when we finally agreed on a price (50% higher than agreed) the contractor started working. When he was wrapping up, he fiddled with… Read more

the tap on the steam cleaning unit, and then watched gormlessly as it emptied all over my kitchen. He offered to clean this up, and then asked if I had a mop he could use - which I did not. He failed to add any value in resolving the issue, and as I needed to do the school pick up, I told him to leave. He insisted on payment, and directed me to make payment to a PAYID. I asked to be provided with an invoice.

The following morning I returned to the apartment to finalise my clean. I discovered that parts of the carpet were sopping wet, despite his assurances they would be try within twelve hours. I called the company who confirmed the issue and promised to send someone out to fix it. Spoiler. This was a lie. Despite repeated efforts by myself and my real estate effort, they failed to send someone out.

I also discovered that the contractor had clipped the face plate of a light switch with either his ladder or the hose of the steam cleaning unit. I think the contractor forgot I was in the apartment while he was turning the carpet into a swamp - and I remember his equipment clattering down the wall I had just cleaned. The company of course denies this, and called me a liar (which seems consistent with theri.

Before writing this review I attempted to engage with the company directly to resolve the matter. Despite asking the company for a receipt on multiple occasions, they have failed to provide one. It's been a few months now. I have also asked them to provide a refund in line with the policy published on their website, and they refuse to put anything in writing to me.

I also attempted to reconcile the matter through Access Canberra, and the company proceeded to dispute the claims I made, leaving me with only an expensive legal option.

There are so many more qualified operators in this town. Pick literally anyone else.

Terrible and Unprofessional Service! – Terrible and Unprofessional Service! I booked an appointment with Cheap Cleaning Canberra for 10:30 AM, and the experience was beyond disappointing.

When I tried calling… Read more

from another number, they answered immediately, but instead of addressing my concern, the person shouted at me aggressively.

He was extremely rude and used vulgar language, completely unprovoked, and even refused to come for the service. This kind of behavior is unacceptable, and I strongly urge everyone to avoid using their services.

They may be "cheap," but they come with 10 times the headache. Their attitude is unprofessional, disrespectful, and downright appalling. If you look at their previous reviews, many people have also mentioned that their cleaning is subpar. Save yourself the trouble and stay far away from this company. They are NOT worth the stress.

Carpet cleaning scam!! – THIS BUSINESS IS A TOTAL SCAM!! The guy on arrival changed the quote ($195), he said that I was only given an estimate on the phone. He said it would cost me $225.00.

carpet cleaning detergent he was using and I asked to see the detergent. He couldn't show me any!! It appears he was only using water!!! I said I wasn't happy to pay him. He then gave me a sob-story that he would be in trouble with the company if I didn't pay him. The carpet seemed to be extra wet and on top of this, the guy hadn't turned the machine's tap off properly and about 1-2 litres of water slopped onto the carpet. I asked him to clean up this area, he said he would. He then asked me to give him a second chance and that he would do the carpet so it was really clean, to do this he said he would flood the carpet with water and this would make the carpet really fluffy and light. I said no, I didn't want him to do anything further to my carpet, only to extract the water which he had spilt, which he didn't. He packed up the machine and left. I sent text messages to this person stating if my carpet ended up mouldy from the spilt water I would take him to court. I attempted to ring the "company" unsuccessfully, and when I did speak with someone they said no work was done and that the booking was cancelled as I didn't accept the quote. I was able to hire a carpet cleaner from Bunnings to soak up the water (and I cleaned the carpets myself). I will be reporting this business to Fair Trading and leaving reviews where I can.

BEWARE - Leather Couch Cleaning; Do Not Use – DO NOT use this unprofessional company of unskilled workers to clean your expensive leather lounge. They use a Hot Water Extraction carpet cleaning machine AND Carpet Cleaning Solution to clean leather, and after having stripped the leather's natural properties, they DO NOT condition the leather in any way. This bad service takes 30 mins from… Read more

arrival to departure (7-Seater lounge @$280), and if that's all they are doing, I could've hired a carpet cleaner from Bunnings for a quarter of that price. Very unprofessional, rip off service. To add insult, the Owner will claim the Carpet Cleaning Solution is ok for leather and that it conditions the leather. Well initially he claimed his employees use "leather cleaning" solution, even though the guy who attended my place showed me the 4L container of Carpet Cleaner when he was trying to justify why he wasn't conditioning the leather after stripping it of natural oils/moisture. This owner then talks down to you to insult your intelligence claiming it's acceptable practice to use a hot water extraction carpet cleaning machine (oh, after referring to you as "what's your problem mate" that is). No refund or partial refund offered even though site says 100% Satisfaction Guarantee, instead saying, "I'll see you in court" after I asked for a company invoice with ABN/ACN details plus his contact details so that I can speak with Fair Trading.

Not clean at all – Can’t believe I really have to give bad review once. I called to ask for the quote to clean my mattress because it has some smell. At the first quote, they said the smell will gone. After the technician came, before doing anything, I asked him again if the smell will gone, he said he’s not sure about the stains but the smell will gone. I was okay… Read more

with that so I let him do his job. After around 30’, he said he done and the mattress was still wet. I checked and see the smell still there. He told me after it dries, the smell will gone. I even asked twice to confirm, then I paid. I waited for a day and when the mattress dried, the smell is still there, mixed with the smell of cleaning liquid. I called them several times to sort out the situation but then they kept tell me to wait and they will call back, but never called back. After all, they said they can’t do anything more. Not recommend this business!

showed when I rang them they wanted to reschedule again. No reason for not showing or even ringing to say they were running late or not showing up. I cancelled them as I found their customer service poorly and non existence. Their response was fine no problem. As a small self employed business owner I was appalled with their mannerism in not even having the decency to contact client the first time they didn't show, waiting for client to call then to say they tried multiple times to call when clearly they didn't, then to reschedule and still no show again wait for client to call and have no reason or excuse on why or not a call but have the gall to ask to reschedule. Disgraceful, don't bother if they don't bother.
