Excellent Service – I found the service excellent. From the booking to the 2 men who did my spring clean. Nothing was too much trouble. I would highly recommend this cleaning company.

Prompt and polite – We had a steam cleaner come to do some work. He was prompt and polite. The manager was also very responsive to a follow up matter and resolved it quickly for us. Show reply

“Extremely Disappointing Service – Not Worth the Money!” – “I hired CleanHouse Melbourne for a pre-sale clean, paying upfront for 30 hours at $70 an hour. I was promised 6 cleaners for 5 hours, which seemed more than enough for my large 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home. Unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing. The lead cleaner was brusque, rude, and difficult to communicate with. She claimed I… Read more

had only half an hour left after I showed her just a 3 room and 1 bathroom, very concerning given the time I paid for.

The cleaners were slow, and the results were far from thorough. They didn’t even clean the drain in the shower. While the fronts of cupboards were wiped, the tops were ignored, and I keep finding other areas that were overlooked. This service felt like a complete rip-off. Avoid CleanHouse Melbourne and save yourself the frustration!”

Fantastic job - efficient quick and excellent job – The total experience in dealing with Clean House Melbourne was so easy, uncomplicated and they simply did what they said they would. Mimmo was great as the first phone contact, the team turned up on time, and finished on time. They cleaned up after my painting job, dusted, cleaned windows, bathrooms, vaccumed and mopped - absolutely spotless. Very happy!

Most amazing and consistent service – Delightful staff, very respectful and do a great job, we have used the service for 3 years now. The staff work well with our 'fur baby' and have been outstanding during the pandemic.

Rip off – If you want to have the cleaners with no attention to details - these are your guys. The torch on the top of the Lego Statue of Liberty gone missing after their visit - probably nocked on the floor when dusted and then vacuumed. They are walking around with the ear buds in talking to whoever - no wonder why they don't pay attention to what they're… Read more

doing. The door of the dishwasher cleaned but not the top. The cupboard which I've asked specifically to be cleaned inside left dirty. The windows cleaned but left the mess underneath. Bathroom taps and accessories left unpolished. And the owner refused to compensate us for the damage done to the Lego set.

Rip off. Rude stuff – They 420 $ for a 6 hour cleaning job and did just windows (inside only ) and left. once the staff arrived they looked around my empty house and Shaji’s just to wipe clean the cabinets and kitchen benches they need 9.5 hours. The 6 hours I paid for apparently wasn’t enough to do anything. Very bad experience. Would not recommend at all

Dishonest, slow and poor quality – As per Google Review: I've previously held extremely high positions of trust in parts of the government so you can trust me when I say that [Name Removed] (and his wife) are liars. He even tried to gaslight me over text message that my version of events was 180deg out from his wife's. So... here goes. I engaged [Name Removed] and "his team"… Read more

(which does not consist of the people on the website- it is just him as "manager" and his wife and his son on the road) to clean my 75 year old mum's house. I was initially recommended them by another cleaning company on the Mornington Peninsula that did an amazing job on a holiday house we were staying at.

After requesting a 3-hour clean (about standard for my mum's house, based upon previous cleaners), [Name Removed] advised that his minimum was "6 hours" and that he would charge $80/hr, and then I said I'd accept if he could do it for $70/hr and do the whole house thoroughly.

Upon arrival, his wife spoke tersely to my mum, not asking, but dictating what she and her son would do. In 6 hours, this consisted of the kitchen (3 hours), the small upstairs bathroom (2 hours) and the downstairs toilet (1 hour). OUTRAGEOUSLY slow and inefficient. And the quality was not even that good. I can clean my mum's entire house in 3 hours to a reasonable standard, without being a professional cleaner, so heaven knows what they were doing for 6 hours. Well, they did spend an hour upstairs, arguing!

The tipping point for me is how uncomfortable they made my mum- for whom I had organised the clean. Mum is really rattled by how rude and curt [Name Removed]'s wife was, and [Name Removed] just lies to cover his tracks (claiming that my mum was "standing over" his wife for 3 hours- when in reality my mum was reading the newspaper in the living room).

Last but not least, I spent 30mins on the phone this evening with [Name Removed] calmly explaining my grievances and providing a reasonable opportunity and reasonable suggestions for him to remedy it. His response was "you book in another job with us [of 6 hours] and we will throw in 1 hour for free". No thanks!

If you check through the other low google reviews- you'll see similar. I've also gone back to the company that recommended [Name Removed] to say "never again" and I will also take Clean House Melbourne to the Small Claims Tribunal.

AVOID!!

A Rip Off – Beware! Stay away from this company! I see that other reviewers have left the same message. This crew is terribly over priced, requires payment in full in advance and then does a really poor job! They scam you, quoting a certain number of hours required to clean your house over the phone and then switching to another number of hours when they… Read more

arrive. At $100 dollars an hour an absolute disgrace. The work they did was incomplete and inadequate. They really don't deserve to be in business.

Don't waste your money – We contacted a company called "Pet Stain Remover" via the 1800 number on their web site. It turns out that it is run by the same people as "Clean House Melbourne". Obviously we contacted PetStainRemover.com.au because we had a pet stain issue and needed it to be addressed. Their web site says that they have expertise in this area and so we… Read more

hoped they would be able to clean our carpets properly. This requirement was communicated clearly to the person at the end of their 1800 number when I asked for a quote.

The appointment was booked for 8am on a Thursday morning and they required to be paid ahead of time. That should have been a red flag but we accepted their excuses that they don't want their cleaners to handle money and they hadn't been paid for work in the past.

Their cleaners turned up about 8:15 am. After being shown around, they went to unload and set up their equipment. They were leaving by just after 9:00 am which immediately made me suspicious because the total area being cleaned was about 65 square metres. As they walked out, I asked them if they had finished and been successful removing the stains and they said that they had been. They took me to where they had been working, as if to show me the result, but the carpet was wet, of course, which made it difficult to judge.

It took a few hours before the carpets were dry enough to walk on so that I could inspect the work. It was at that time that I realised just how badly the job had been done.

I contacted them immediately and made a complaint, asking them to rectify, but after 1 week they had not responded. I tried contacting them again, this time asking for a refund, and received a response which said: • 2 technicians were sent to the job site • They finished the job in 45 mins • One pre soaked the carpet with the treatment, while the supervisor prepared the equipment • Carpet is in a high traffic area, the supervisor advised the customer due to it being a high traffic area, the carpet stain can't be fully removed • After the job was finished, the supervisor let the customer check the work before he left.

This doesn't really match up with their web site claim of "... our professional pet stain eraser professionals in Melbourne would use a combination of steam cleaning, deodorising and wide array carpet surface treatment procedures for removal of the pungent smell of urine odour and its stain."

Wide array [of] carpet surface treatment procedures?

It doesn't seem likely that they were able to pre-soak anything if they were out in under 45 minutes. How long did they let the "pre-soak" treatment sit? The carpet is about 2 years old and was specifically purchased because of its resilience in high traffic areas. Their claim doesn't add up.

Since they're not going to rectify the problem and aren't going to refund, I have posted this review in order to help others avoid the mistake I made. The company appears to have multiple names and has many web sites and contact numbers - but uses the same address The names that I found - and I would recommend that you avoid - are:

* petstainremover.com.au * cleanhousemelbourne.com.au * renovationcleaning.com.au * bestcarpetcleaningmelbourne.com * buildercleaning.com.au * commercialcarpetclean.com.au

There may be others so beware.

Over priced and undelivered service promised – We organised and paid for a Premium package worth $170 for a Sunday job with the following inclusions: 3 bedrooms carpet cleaning, sanitising and guaranteed to be machine dried. A guy named Manta (Jigs cleaning) arrived 30 mins late. Took him 30 mins to do the job and the carpets smelt like wet socks afterwards. Products used were either low… Read more

Pre-sale clean – received anything but that – My house was left almost bare in preparation for the pre sale clean. I walked the cleaners through the house and pointed out some areas that needed addressing (plus I had provided a priority list) – well that was a complete waste of time. Floors were not thoroughly swept/vacuumed and there was still a build up near the skirting boards and corners… Read more

of the room. Dust remained on furniture that was still in the house Windows were not cleaned well and some looked worse than before they started. After spending more than an hour and a half cleaning after they had left and discovering more and more areas that were not properly attended to, I called the manager to express my disappointment and request a partial refund (I paid $770 in total). He was incredibly patronising towards me and just said ‘we did our job, you checked it before we left’. I told him it was ridiculous and completely unrealistic to think that I was or needed to check the house top to bottom to review their work (before they finished) when this is their job and they should have done the job correctly in the first place. I went on to say that my fortnightly cleaner does a better job and his remark to that was, ‘well perhaps you should give me her number’.

I WOULD NOT recommend this company, they are not professional and are a complete rip off for what they ended up doing.

Terrible - beware! – Warning: Do not use this company! We paid $420 up front for two cleaners ($70 per hour per person) to do what we were told was 6 hours of spring cleaning between them. We were asked to provide a list of priorities for the clean, and they would work on the first priorities first then get to the later ones if there was still time. First priority… Read more

was bathrooms, which they did. Second priority was vacuum and mop floors. They didn't even get to second priority.

Not only didn't they vacuum parts of the house and left dust and dirt in places, but they did not mop the floors at all as they left it til last then ran out of time. They also walked some kind of sticky residue all over the wooden floors with their boots and left the floors dirtier than when they arrived!

Spoke to the manager afterwards and requested a partial refund as they had not done the bare minimum of cleaning the floors for $420. His response was 'they did a good job of other things so we don't owe you anything'. Wow.

Will never use them again and want to warn people not to fall for their slick sales pitch - it doesn't result in a good job, and it's incredibly over-priced. Beware.

Superb, simply superb. (Deep Clean) – Basically I needed a deep clean for parts of a share house. (Not just empty the bins, wipe the benches and a vacuum.) The results were spectacular. From the dials on the oven being cleaned (behind and the outside part), through to the rods connecting the dials, through to the whole oven/stove itself it was epic. Like brand new. (Considering the… Read more

oven is decades old that's saying something.)

Through to the exhaust fan being cleaned, the draws pulled out and thoroughly cleaned, with the edges scrubbed into.

It was a beautiful site to behold.

Nimmo was responsive to calls, emails and questions. Together with the cleaner he sent showed up perfectly on time, was resourceful, worked solidly for the five hours.

So if you want a deep clean then this is your company.
