Inner Melbourne Maids cleaning – Manuela is a very professional cleaner. Our timber floors had a lovely shine and the bath and shower screen looked amazing. This is the second time she has cleaned our unit and everything looks sparkling. Manuela is very thorough and communicates well. We are happy to have her as our regular cleaner. Show reply

Worst cleaning service ever – NOT satisfied at all. The business has 0 standard set by themselves, the cleaners seem sent randomly without any quality check. My house is generally very clean, however I needed someone to do polishing/ detailing on weekly basis. General dusting, cleaning window/mirror and its frame/seals, cooktop grease removal and handrails of staircase,… Read more
shower/bath and toilets etc.
After 2 hours, I realised nothing is cleaned. Cleaner has mopped only kitchen floor but all the food stains on the cooktop and benches left as it was. Toilet seat dirty, bath and shower is not even cleaned/dusted. Toilet basin had water stains/dust all over as it was.
Not to mention all the dust remained as it was on side table, lamps, window area, bar cart, kitchen bench… to be honest, I don’t need to list it because basically NOTHING is done for 2 hours.
In addition, cleaner went through our rubbish bin and took things out that she thinks it shouldn’t be thrown away???? Ie tooth brush and left it on our kitchen bench. Also dropped some of our rubbish on the floor as well while she’s emptying our rubbish bin.
Cleaner was late for 30 mins, that was fine by me, but also didn’t make full 2 hours which I was OK as far as the job was done properly - obviously that’s not the case.
I still am really curious what she has done for 2 hours. House is messier after her visit.
Consistent Service – Dayana has been consistently delivering wonderful cleaning services. Very pleased! Show reply

This is the first time I’ve used Inner City Maids and I’m so impressed!! My cleaner Daisy was fantastic, my house is spotless! Truly went above and beyond. Thank you Daisy! Show reply
Absolutely fantastic experience with Gina! She is hands down the best housekeeper I’ve had. Incredibly quick and efficient, without compromising on quality. Everything was cleaned to such a high standard, with amazing attention to detail. I’m so impressed with the results and couldn’t recommend Gina more highly! Show reply
I use Inner City Maids every 6-8 weeks for a once off clean and they always do a great job at a reasonable price. My most recent clean by Daisy K - Daisy did a wonderful job and was courteous and polite. Very happy with this service Show reply

I previously left a positive review on Google, because we appreciated Ana Vieira's weekly cleaning. Unfortunately, I’m disappointed by how our service has ended. I requested a same-day reschedule and was charged a $75 cancellation fee. I understand that late changes affect a cleaner’s income. Given the flexibility shown previously, I politely… Read more
asked for a one-off waiver and clarification of the policy. We had also been understanding when Ana needed to cancel on the day due to illness.
The company declined my request and informed us that Ana would no longer clean for us, cancelling all future appointments. They cited “recurring short-notice changes.” For context, we have requested short-notice changes only twice in total.
We valued the relationship and would have welcomed a conversation about firm scheduling expectations going forward. Instead, we were told the service had ended.
Ana’s cleaning was appreciated, but the handling of this situation left us feeling that the goodwill we’d built counted for very little. A disappointing end to a service we had happily recommended.
i decided to give this mob a go and am disappointed with the service i received. The cleaner i was allocated stated the shower floor was clean, when it wasn't and then tried to tell me they are permanent markings, i beg to differ, however when i made her clean it, guess what the marks came off, the coverings on my furniture were not straightened… Read more
out, areas were missed for dusting like the bedroom and lounge-room, mirrors were done but only after i had to keep reminding her, did not empty the bins and put fresh bin liners in,spent more time on the phone than actually doing her work, i am paying for a service and i expect a level of service, i have a standard of clean and if someone claims they have cleaned, then it should be clean, wont be using this mob again, going back to my old cleaner, at least after they did it, the house looked clean..... and amongst all that deliberately took her time just so i had to pay extra, i had to keep checking to see what she was doing, that should not be my role.......... overall a very disappointing experience,,,,,,,,,,,,,,i located the list of what was supposed to be done according to their website. I paid for the 2hours, charged way too much for the service provided....... All Rooms: ✔️ Furniture Dusted - not at all ✔️ General Straightening - not completed ✔️ Floors Vacuumed/Mopped Cleaned - areas missed and floor not mopped properly ✔️ Mirrors Cleaned - yes but only after i requested and had to remind Bathrooms: ✔️ Cabinet Exterior Cleaned - yes ✔️ Countertop/Sink Cleaned - yes ✔️ Fixtures Cleaned - poorly done ✔️ Shower/Bathtub Cleaned - i had to keep reminding ✔️ Toilets Cleaned/Sanitised - yes ✔️ Empty Bin & Put New Bin Liner - No Kitchen: ✔️ Appliance Exteriors Cleaned - somewhat ✔️ Cabinet Exterior Cleaned - yes ✔️ Countertop/Sink Cleaned - somewhat ✔️ Cooktop and Splashback Cleaned - not really areas missed ✔️ Table/Chairs Dusted - No ✔️ Empty Bin & Put New Bin Liner - No

Cancelled 3x at the last minute (1-2 hr before the job starts)!! – Cancelled 3x at the last minute (1-2 hr before the job starts)!! We rely heavily on cleaners, so if they don't come and at the very last minute, our lives are disrupted! And it was disrupted! To note: The cleaners and the agency were professional and polite. When the cleaners came, they did the job properly. But 3x cancellations, at the last minute, in the span of 2-3 months, is too much. Show details
Hi Lala, We sincerely apologise for the… Read more

My cleaner Marcella Reveco is absolutely amazing! I transferred from another company and it's my first time using inner city maids, I was looking for quality and consistency.

After a great first experience, I used Inner City Maids for a second deep clean and I am just as happy as I was the first time around. Shout out to our cleaner, Cinthya, who was amazing cleaning our house but also was so friendly to my dog as well. Booking was simple, I was connected to Cinthya quickly, and the results are amazing. Thank you to Cinthya, and the crew at Inner City Maids. Show reply

Regan was great. She cleaned my shower extremely thoroughly, it looked better than after the previous clean I'd had, and better than when I'd moved in as well. Everything else was great too, she was really friendly and communication was smooth. Show reply

Couldn’t be happier with our cleaner, Rhoda! She was so lovely, friendly and easy to communicate with, and did such a thorough job cleaning our home. She was really efficient with her time but still paid attention to all the little details. Rhoda was also great with my dog, which I really appreciated. Our home was absolutely spotless and it was such a pleasure having her here - can’t wait to have her back every fortnight ✨ Show reply

Manuela is awesome! She did such a great job. Great communication. Her proactiveness with the limited brief i gave her was impressive. She takes a lot of pride in her work and did a lot of cleaning. I would specifically ask to book her again.10/10. Manuela will receive a tip from the company for my review. I didn't receive any discount for the review. I think it's great the company will pay the tip as she deserves it. Show reply
