| Switching | Move between the two whenever you want, no penalty | |
Is a cleaner worth it in Auckland?
Put it in hours rather than dollars. A two to three bedroom home cleaned properly takes one person about three hours; our pair does it in ninety minutes. At $80 + GST weekly you are buying back roughly three hours of your own weekend for about the price of two coffees a day.
The second argument is condition. Bathrooms and kitchens degrade in a way that is expensive to reverse — limescale on a glass screen, grease behind a cooktop, mould in a wet-area seal. Auckland's humidity accelerates all of it. Regular cleaning is genuinely cheaper than the deep clean, the reseal or the replacement it prevents.
What we do not do
We are not a handyman service, a gardening service or a laundry. We do not do exterior house washing, gutters, roofs or pest control, and we will tell you so rather than doing a poor job of it. What we will do is tell you who does it properly.
Getting started
- Send us the suburb, the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and how often you want us.
- We quote in writing, usually within one business day.
- We walk the property with you once and agree the scope in writing.
- Your team starts, on the same day each week or fortnight.
House cleaning questions
How much is a weekly house clean in Auckland?
Weekly house cleaning starts at $80 + GST per week with a two-person team. Fortnightly starts at $100 per fortnight. Starting prices assume a standard one to two bedroom property in our regular service area; larger homes are quoted after a walkthrough and the price is then fixed in writing.
How long does a regular house clean take?
A standard two to three bedroom Auckland home takes a two-person team roughly ninety minutes to two hours once it is on a regular schedule. The first clean usually takes longer because it is catching up on everything a regular schedule then prevents.
Weekly or fortnightly — which should I choose?
Weekly if the house has children, pets, shift workers or more than three occupants; the property never falls behind and the per-visit cost is lower. Fortnightly if it is one or two tidy adults who mostly want the bathrooms and floors handled. If you are unsure, start fortnightly and move to weekly if the second week always feels long.
Do you clean inside the oven and the windows?
Not as part of a standard clean — both take real time and would otherwise be rushed. They are quoted as extras and can be scheduled as an occasional add-on, for example an oven clean twice a year and windows once or twice a year.
Will the same cleaners come every time?
Yes. Regular clients are assigned a consistent two-person team who learn the property. If your usual pair is on leave we tell you before the visit and brief the replacement from your property's agreed scope.
