As a mum looking for work between school hours, Family Clean gave me an opportunity, without any professional experience in this area, allowing me to prove myself, work independently and gain some lovely friendships with my clients along the way. The support staff at FC have been wonderful to work with too. There is also flexibility to take leave… Read more
when needed (i.e. school holidays or when my child is sick) and they will endeavour to find another cleaner who can cover for me.
Joining the team at Family Clean has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my working career. Having spent all my working life in the professional corporate world, I wasn't quite ready to retire and grateful to find that partnering with Family Clean ticked all the right boxes - rewarding work, flexible hours, great clients,… Read more
well-remunerated, solid partnership, professional partnership. Their systems and processes are simple and efficient and the gorgeous clients I have been matched with are amazing and I feel blessed to look after them. Their common feedback is how much they love coming home after I have been there! I love what I do for my clients, and it is truly the most rewarding work I have done! MH
We’ve been so happy using Family Clean for many years now across different homes we’ve lived in. We’re particularly happy with our current cleaner Robyn who goes above and beyond our requested jobs to make the home sparkle. She is lovely and thoughtful too. Show reply

We also really enjoy the flexibility that Family Clean provides, which makes the work convenient and enjoyable for both of us. They have a fantastic team that genuinely cares about both cleaners and clients.
We are grateful for the opportunity to work with Family Clean and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for cleaning work. ❤️
Terrible recruitment process would not recommend – I recently applied for a cleaner position with this company. After an initial phone contact and submitting my resume and cover letter, I was directed to complete an online form as part of the recruitment process. I was shocked by the rudeness and condescension I experienced during this stage. Despite missing just the one question about cleaning… Read more
products—a question that in no way reflects my cleaning abilities or my positive "can-do" attitude—I received the attached dismissive response. If you are considering this company for your cleaning needs, please think twice about their ethics and how they treat potential workers.

These guys are just as professional as they claim to be. Will use them again and recommend them highly. Show reply
Follow-up · We were matched with the best housekeeper/cleaner we've ever had. She is thorough, professional and flexible. She cleans behind and under things, and goes the extra mile every time. All expectations exceeded! Cannot recommend this company highly enough.

Rating: 1/5 Stars (Would Not Recommend) I had an extremely negative and unprofessional experience attempting to meet with this company and strongly advise others to exercise caution, particularly those managing tight schedules. My issues stemmed entirely from communication failures and technical incompetence: Calendar and Timing Errors: I booked a… Read more
meeting via their automated calendar system for 4:30 PM Sydney/Melbourne time, as indicated in their confirmation email. I allocated valuable working time specifically for this appointment. Technical Issues & Miscommunication: The initial meeting link provided was faulty and did not work correctly on my device (iPad). When I reached out for assistance, I was incorrectly informed that the meeting was scheduled for Brisbane time, not Melbourne time, causing further confusion and delay. No-Show & Wasted Time: I rescheduled for 7:30 PM Melbourne time and arrived five minutes early. No representative from the company connected to the meeting. This resulted in a complete waste of my time and a loss of potential income from a cleaning job I had forgone to attend. Poor Customer Service: When I called the office to address these repeated failures, the representative I spoke with was dismissive and repeatedly spoke over me, making a productive discussion impossible. The automated booking systems and internal communication processes are severely flawed, and the subsequent customer service interaction was unacceptable. Due to the lack of respect for my time and the highly unprofessional handling of multiple errors, I would not recommend anyone work for or with this company.

We’ve been using Family Clean for a few months now and would confidently recommend them to anyone seeking reliable, high-quality home assistance. After a few early hiccups in finding the right match, we were paired with Astrid, and from day one, she has been outstanding. Her commitment to open, honest communication makes everything easy and… Read more · 1
stress-free. It’s exactly the kind of working relationship we’d been hoping for, and one we’d struggled to find with other services (yes, the ones you’ve tried and have found just don’t quite meet the mark).
What we value most is the mutual trust and respect. If we ever need something, we know we can reach out to Astrid without hesitation, and she feels equally comfortable doing the same with us. That sense of partnership is rare, and we’re genuinely grateful for the care and attention she puts into helping us maintain our home.
Family Clean is slightly more expensive than other services, but the quality and reliability we receive from Astrid and the broader team more than justify the cost. Astrid has never cut a session short, in fact, she has often stayed beyond the scheduled time to finish tasks. She frequently takes initiative, assisting with jobs before we’ve even thought to ask or offering help when she sees a need.
These extra touches, everything from cat litter clean-outs and folding laundry, to clearing dust from the shoe rack and deep-cleaning exhaust fan covers, have given our family more time together, and that’s something you truly can’t put a price on!
Essential service for a clean home and better mental health! – Absolutely thrilled with the first visit from my Family Clean cleaner. Despite my shame and embarrassment at the grime that's built up in my home, the cleaner was upbeat and got to work completely unfazed after we agreed on immediate priorities for the first two hour session. At the end of their visit I had two sparkling clean bathrooms and a… Read more · 1
spotless kitchen/living room floor. I had been so stressed about the state of my home, and was so ashamed I couldn't keep up by myself due to personal health issues and not being able to manage the mess a single parent family makes. Not any more! I have utmost confidence in my cleaner's abilities, and am so thankful for their kindness and understanding. Just one visit has lifted so much of my stress already now those areas are looking as clean as when we first moved in. I look forward to having our Family Clean cleaner back weekly to get the whole place in great shape again, so I can be more confident in keeping on top of it in-between their visits. Thank you Family Clean!

Negative reviews
Average clean – I had cleaned before arrival to ensure that the cleaner would have time to do a thorough clean of the townhouse. The bathroom floors where left with a sticky chalky residue, kitchen sink wasn’t cleaned, no dusting was done, no polishing. Nothing was cleaned besides from the work surfaces. To be frank, I would have done what this cleaner… Read more
achieved in two hours rather than the three and a half it took and I’m heavily pregnant.
Did do a good job of the shower and bath themselves. The cleaner was pleasant and kind which is why I give three stars. However, the reviews for this company left me with an expectation that it would be a good thorough clean before baby arrived but I have been left disappointed with work to do myself. Not worth the price charged. Won’t be using this company again.
overcharge and underclean – i tried them and for $37 an hour was expecting the house to smell like it was clean. it wasnt and on further inspectio no trace of product could be found very poor work tbe response when i complained was terrible. i reviewed them with 1 star elsewhere a they went on the attack.i simply stated that they could come one more time and if it wasnt… Read more
done properly i wouldnt pay. i also remarked that there are teachers and nurses that would love $37 an hour they twisted that in their response DO NOT USE
Hopeless administration – This is the third time I've rung Family Clean and given them a wide range of dates and times for a spring clean. For example, any day over the next couple of weeks. On ALL occasions they haven't accommodated me. As a busy professional, in the end I'm wasting time chasing them. They still haven't given me the courtesy of a call back. My advice - don't bother with Family Clean, look elsewhere.

Although the marketing included quite a bit of hype that didn't materialize, the service is, in the end, quality and very acceptable. I can recommend the company as one that monitors its cleaners and provides good, third party oversight. Show reply

I have been using Family Clean for a couple of years now. They took the time to match me with a wonderful home assistant who unfortunately couldn’t stay with me.

with both home assistants, one who I still have and she is so helpful to ease the stress of work and kids. Would definitely recommend trying them.
Family Clean have been great. I have been using them for a few months - I had some feedback for the initial cleaner I was assigned and Sian from the client experience team was super quick to address my comments and to find an alternative cleaner. We have been using Julia for around 2 months now and I couldn’t be happier. She’s punctual, nice and so thorough on her work. Show details · 1
