One of the worst experiences with optima cleaners. I booked them for end of lease cleaning but first cleaners didn’t show up on booking date n time, then come next day to finish job. Done very poor cleaning and left so many areas. Asked them to return to property but took 2 whole days only to say towards end that their cleaners are busy doing… Read more
other job so could not attended property to rectify issues mentioned on exit report. Because of them I am in such embarrassing situation in front of property managers. Don’t ever book this company l. Paid $765 upfront, all in vain with unfinished job.

Very disappointing service. We paid $1,309 to clean our newly purchased house, but the work completed was far below expectations. The cleaning was limited to basic vacuuming and mopping, while many areas were left dirty. The garage was not cleaned properly, and several parts of the house still required significant cleaning after the team… Read more
finished. For the amount charged, we expected a thorough professional clean, but the service did not provide value for money.

DO NOT USE OPTIMA CLEANERS!!! $788 down the drain. Majority of the house wasn’t even cleaned, the only things that were was the oven and most windows. I paid extra for carpet clean and there was still pet hair in the carpet. When I came back I was devastated as the property manager was inspecting the following day and of course, failed the exit… Read more
report. A bond clean should be completed to a standard that allows the property to pass inspection, but this was far from the case. I was given 24 hours to rectify the issues or have it taken out of my bond. While the company agreed to return for a reclean, they didn't arrive until there was only one hour remaining before I was due to return the keys. Had I not come back myself with my own cleaning supplies and spent the entire night addressing the missed areas, there is no way the property would have met the checklist. Paying for a professional bond clean was supposed to reduce the stress of moving, but instead it created more work, more pressure, and a lot of unnecessary stress at the last minute. Very disappointing experience. Only two pics for reference, I have way too many to upload. And they don’t offer any reimbursements either.
Update** Since leaving a review, a Customer Experience Supervisor reached out and tried to understand and resolve my grievances. While the amount offered as a refund barely scratches the surface in my time, money and effort I put in to rectify the cleaning issues, the point remains that they did offer a refund.

I am utterly shocked and disgusted that I paid $470 for an "End of Lease" clean as it wasn't barely touched. Besides the windows and mirrors being cleaned everything else wasn't even touched. The walls still have scuffs and dust marks all over them as well as the doors and trims. The balcony still had dust and dirt on it. I'm so angry and… Read more
disappointed as I don't have time to clean the apartment myself as I have work and have to hand the keys over tomorrow hence why I hired them in the 1st place. I definitely won't be getting my bond back as they have a "guaranteed bond back policy" with is total [Content Removed]. I'm assuming they have a lot of fake reviews so please don't believe them as you'll end up regretting it. Save your money and do it yourself or hire someone else.

They deleted my google review. Ghosted me after offering me a lousy solution, did not acknowledge their employee trying to get me to pay him more directly and then keeping my keys, only returning it at 11pm. The clean was terrible. Don’t waste your money on their services, you will end up paying your property managers for a reclean anyway

I found them to be very profeesional, they turned up early after asking if that was okay, my oven now looks brand new again, which I thought not possible and when finished they cleaned up well. Show reply
This was the first time we have used a professional oven cleaning business and we have no hesitations in recommending the company to our friends. The representative of the company did an amazing job. Our oven is like new again. The representative was friendly, efficient and cleaned up thoroughly after completion. Show reply
I had my two sofa’s cleaned yesterday and I am so happy with the service. He was quick and extremely thorough. They look like new and will definitely be using this service again. Show reply

did not get back. I do not recommend this company. I called to speak with the manager but was not given. Can put almost 20 pics of poorly cleaned or untouched areas but do not have time to go through my phone. These may be enough to make your own judgement.

I am so happy with the work done by Narayan from Optima Clean. My oven, cooktop and range hood look brand new. He was quiet and polite, arrived on time and did a really fantastic job. I am very grateful. It was a job I have put off doing for a long time and now it’s all been taken care of. Thank you Narayan, it looks amazing. Show reply
I highly recommend Ben from Optima Cleaning Services. Ben was professional, efficient, and clearly takes pride in his work. He did an excellent job on our sofa and it came up looking like new! I wouldn’t hesitate to contact them again,(Ben, in particular) for any future cleaning needs. Show reply
Amazing oven and bbq clean. Great communication, attention to detail. Team members are respectful, tidy and did an amazing job. Oven is like new (it was a big job) and bbq sparkly new, all ready for summer. Thank you Show reply

Negative reviews
We booked Optima cleaners to do an end of lease cleaners on our home before leasing it out, and were so disappointed with their service. They arrived late on the cleaning day, the clean quality was very poor, more like a weekly freshen up. One of the cleaners was on the phone for a substantial amount of time while cleaning, and it was clear they… Read more
were in a hurry to leave. They then packed the car and got in without letting us know they were done, so we went and asked for a walk through together. I received the response that they'd rather that than to have to come back. I pointed out a number of things that needed further attention. One cleaner attempted to rectify these things while the other sat in the car with the engine running. When they left there were still marks on the wall and benchtops, and the hard floors were still dirty. We ended up scrubbing them ourselves. I contacted Optima with my concerns and asked for a refund on the extra cost I paid to have walls cleaned, however they refused as we hadn't lost a bond (it was our own home we were moving out of, so no bond to be lost). Strongly recommend against using this company. Rude, unreliable and unhelpful.

I cannot stress strongly enough: do not use Optima Cleaners. My experience with them was extremely disappointing from start to finish. Their communication was virtually non-existent, and their professionalism was equally poor. They were booked to complete a full clean ahead of our property sale, yet they arrived and left within an hour, having… Read more
done almost nothing. No explanation, no update, no communication.
They rescheduled for the following Wednesday at 8am. Three hours passed with no arrival, no returned calls, and no updates. In desperation—given the imminent sale—I had to begin the clean myself. Three hours later they showed and promised they would work through the night to complete everything on the list. To my frustration, when I arrived the next morning, it was clear this simply did not happen.
The toilets hadn’t been cleaned, the windows were untouched, the steam-cleaned carpets they guaranteed were never done, and the sliding door tracks were still full of debris. For a job that was paid in full upfront as a gesture of goodwill, the lack of service, quality, and accountability was unacceptable.
This was one of the most stressful and disappointing contractor experiences I’ve ever had. Avoid Optima Cleaners at all costs.
Further to this experience, when I requested a partial refund of just $250 to cover the works I now had to outsource to another contractor, they initially offered a token $160. I responded explaining that $250 was a fair and reasonable request given the circumstances. Three emails later, I still haven’t received a reply. This silence speaks volumes about the level of professionalism they lack.

Got a really bad feeling about this company while booking and it checked out. Scheduled a cleaning and they insisted on getting my card number ahead of time, and despite being a big operation (with dedicated sales reps?) they rejected other forms of payment. When I pointed this out I was told “I don’t see why you can’t just give us your card… Read more
number”. Grudgingly agreed to cash on the day, but an email follow up also mentions bank transfers. Did they want to overcharge?
Ended up cancelling the cleaning and they insisted and insisted on re-booking. “Your cleaning team’s already been allocated so it would be best if you rescheduled”. Pressuring through guilt and strong arming are a very bad look!
I felt this wasn’t going to be a good experience and am relieved I cancelled outright. Deeper in their reviews reveals a telling pattern of disappointing service and a lack of accountability.

I hired this optima cleaners for cleaning my glass windows. After days of negotiations I was given a price of $370 in total to clean glass windows in September 2025. The cleaners were unhygienic and smelling with bad odour as soon as they stepped into my home as well as this bad odour lasted until for an hour after they completed the job. However… Read more
one of the cleaners was very rash in closing the windows and slammed very hard. They even damaged my new vertical blinds I installed in my bedroom by forcefully pulling the cords to the right corner of my large window, damaging the track, that I replaced it. Actually the blinds assemble in the middle of my windows operated by a wand. After rhey left my house, I realised that all blinds were forcefully pulled to the right corner instead of assembled in the middle from left to right and from right to left.
It took communication back and forth with evidence from my cctvv video footage to show this company where the position of blinds were before the cleaners started their job with other evidence.
I did not claim for scratches on my glass windows whilst they scrub hard to clean the dirt but the metal holding the bristles may have scratched and made damage to my windows.
Users of this company- be alert to engage this company at your own risks. The company will never cover their liabilities if you ask them to pay for their damages. After two days of stressful time, I managed to prove my blinds were damaged by their cleaners. The matter is now settled and closed. But going through this hassle, as a single parent and preparing to sell my house, I don't think anybody will prefer to spend more money and invest their time to repair the damages done by cleaning staff. This feedback is honest feedback from my bad experience.
Thanks

Thank you to our cleaners from Optima. They were friendly, hard working and professional and left our two leather lounges looking like new again. I would certainly recommend them. Show reply
A terrible service and [Content Removed]. Please be aware of this company, as it is [Content Removed] you from another country, making it difficult for authorities to catch them. Shows up late, not enough equipment for work and totally does a low-quality job, reporting doesn't help much as they do not contact with you.

Thank you Optima Cleaners! From initial quote to completion Optima was prompt, friendly, efficient and professional. Our 90cm oven is like new again with no more burnt on carbon or splattered oil to be seen. The onsite cleaner was on time, friendly, efficient and cleaned up thoroughly after the job. He did an amazing job! Show reply
AVOID Optima Cleaning at all costs — our experience with their builder's clean was extremely disgraceful. BEWARE. We encountered a series of serious issues from the outset. The cleaning was left incomplete, with clear photographic evidence provided immediately after the job. The cleaner even admitted to leaving the work unfinished before… Read more
departing the property. Communication was consistently poor — cleaner arrived late, others not at all, lied about coming back to complete job on agreed day. Company refused to take calls or never got back when following up. Most concerning of all was the service we paid extra for to get the windows cleaned which resulted in the PERMANENT scratching and etching left on multiple windows that were brand new, resulting in thousands of dollars’ worth of damage. This was confirmed by both a qualified independent assessor and our builder, with both agreeing the damage was consistent with what would occur during a poor-quality window clean. Despite submitting all evidence, Optima has repeatedly dismissed our concerns and failed to take responsibility. The entire experience was deeply unprofessional and we would strongly discourage others from engaging their services.

They sent me a confirmation confirming my bond cleaning, pest cleaning & carpet cleaning. They have called me 12 hours before telling me they weren't able to complete this as they had no staff.

find somewhere else as they arent able to complete my cleaning services.
Reach out to Jim Cleanings and they were amazing and were able to get this booked in on short notice and they helped out out so much on this.
Will never contact Optima Cleaners again as this appointment had been booked for 2 weeks.

Absolutely outstanding clean of my oven yesterday at east Melbourne. Was blown away by how incredible it looked compared to before, it was utterly spotless! Service could not have been better. 10/10
Optima Cleaners were a great company. They were easy to book, quick, efficient and the staff were extremely polite and friendly. They cleaned my oven. I was very happy with the result. It sparkled like new. Something that I could not have done myself. Show reply
Ali did a terrific job for us. Booked a deep clean for the kitchen and window cleaning. We're very happy with how well kitchen & windows came up. House is being renovated, so it hadn't been cleaned while work was ongoing [for about a year]. Show reply

WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND. I engaged Optima Cleaners for an after builders clean of 2 properties. Walls were not dusted, bathroom recesses not cleaned (which caused the shower drain to overflow) and floors still marked. Main issue is the stripping of paint on the skirtings and architraves. Every room in the 2 properties has paint stripped. I have… Read more
been contacting Optima Cleaners for 6 weeks now and trying to get a resolution. They advised that based on the pre-work photos, the marks on the skirtings were already there. I used their own photos to demonstrate that the paint was scraped off by their cleaners and were not scuff marks. I requested a refund and they have now they have stopped responding to my emails. Apparently on 16 May they were taking the 'necessary steps to rectify the issues' about the poor cleaning but this has clearly stopped.
**UPDATE** Please see email. Optima Cleaners continues to request I take down the review with the final offer being $130. This will not cover the damage to the property or the fact that the work was not completed. They have now said the photos provided by their team was taken after the clean, but clearly they were taken before, given the building debris in the photos. Any company that changes their story and offers money to take down reviews without addressing the issue is not worth engaging.

Thrilled – The team of two who were polite and attentive, like magicians came and transformed my filthy oven into sparkling clean, . They also degreased my rangehood and gave my stovetop a detailed clean all in less than an hour I was thrilled! Show reply
Thank you to Optima how provided window cleaners and our windows are sparkling. Such a great job. They brushed and wadhed the fly screens and the security screens as well. Highly recommended
Recliner came up like new when I didn't think steins would come out at all. Great job. Called to let me know he'd be late due to traffic. Very professional, friendly and knows what yes doing. Highly recommend
