Melbourne’s Cleaning Company That Actually Cares

We started Cleaners In Melbourne with one simple belief — that every Melbourne household deserves a cleaning company they can genuinely trust. Not a faceless franchise. Not cheap operators with no accountability. A local team that shows up on time, does the job properly and stands behind their work.

Our Story

A Melbourne Business, Built on Honesty

Cleaners In Melbourne started in 2015 with a single van, two technicians and a straightforward goal — to be the cleaning company that Melbourne homeowners actually recommend to their friends.

Our founder James had spent years working for larger cleaning franchises and watched firsthand as corner-cutting, no-shows and bait-and-switch pricing eroded customer trust. He left to build something different: a business where the cleaner who comes to your home is accountable, certified and proud of the work they do.

We started with carpet cleaning and quickly expanded into end of lease, sofa, mattress, tile and grout, and pest control — because our customers kept asking. Every service we added came after months of training and equipment investment, not overnight.

Today we’ve cleaned over 10,000 Melbourne homes and businesses, hold a 4.9-star Google rating from 312 verified reviews, and employ a team of fully certified technicians across the Greater Melbourne area. We’re still locally owned, still personally run, and still obsessed with doing the job properly every single time.

What We Stand For

The Values Behind Every Single Job

These aren’t words we put on a poster. They’re the standards we hold every cleaner to — on every booking, in every suburb, every single day.

Honesty, Always

We quote a fair price before we start and that’s what you pay. We tell you upfront what we can and can’t fix. No bait-and-switch, no extras added on the day, no vague excuses. Melbourne customers deserve straight answers and that’s what we give them.

Proper Certification — No Shortcuts

Every cleaner we hire completes IICRC certification before setting foot in a customer’s home. It’s not a quick online quiz — it’s an internationally recognised qualification. We invest in it because your home is not a training ground.

Respect for Your Time

We arrive when we say we will. If something changes, we call you — not after you’ve waited 45 minutes, but as soon as we know. Your time matters and we treat it that way. Running late is the exception for us, not the norm.

Eco-Safe Products — Not a Marketing Line

All our products are genuinely Green Seal certified. Safe for children, babies, pets and allergy sufferers. We made this commitment in 2016 and we’ve never compromised on it — even when eco-certified products cost us more than alternatives.

We Own Our Mistakes

We’re human — occasionally things don’t go perfectly. When that happens, we don’t hide behind policies or fine print. We return, we fix it and we don’t charge you again. Our satisfaction guarantee is real and we’ve never once refused to honour it.

We’re Part of This Community

Every person on our team lives and works in Melbourne. We clean homes in our own neighbourhoods, for people like our own families. That matters to us — it keeps us accountable in a way that no head office policy ever could.

Our Journey

Ten Years of Cleaning Melbourne Right

From a single van to one of Melbourne’s most trusted cleaning companies — here’s how we grew.

2015 — The Beginning
Founded in Melbourne’s inner suburbs
James starts Cleaners In Melbourne with one truck-mounted van and two staff. First 50 jobs completed in Richmond, Fitzroy and Collingwood. Zero complaints, 100% positive feedback.
2016 — Eco Commitment
Switched entirely to Green Seal certified products
Made the full switch to eco-safe, non-toxic products across every service. Cost more to run — worth every cent. This decision set us apart and directly drove the growth that followed.
2017 — IICRC Certification
Entire team achieves IICRC certification
All active technicians complete IICRC certification. We become one of only a handful of Melbourne cleaning companies to require this standard across the whole team, not just management.
2019 — Expansion
Added End of Lease, Sofa and Mattress Cleaning
After hundreds of customer requests, we invested in specialist equipment and training to add three new services properly. No half-measures — full certification before any job was taken.
2022 — 5,000 Homes Milestone
Reached 5,000 completed jobs across Melbourne
A landmark moment for the team. By this point we had expanded coverage across all of Greater Melbourne and added Tile & Grout Cleaning. Google rating consistently above 4.8 stars.
2024 — Pest Control Added
Launched licensed Pest Control services
Added a fully licensed pest control division covering ants, cockroaches, spiders, rodents, bed bugs and more. Government-approved treatments, eco-safe where possible, same satisfaction guarantee.
2025 — Today
10,000+ homes, 312 Google reviews, 4.9 stars
Still locally owned, still personally run, still obsessed with doing the job right. Cleaning Melbourne homes and offices every single day — and loving every minute of it.

“Used them for end of lease — got my full bond back first try. The agent was actually impressed. On time, no fuss, no hidden charges. My flatmates have since used them independently and said exactly the same thing. Genuinely the most reliable cleaning company I’ve ever used.”

“What sets these guys apart is that they actually care. The tech noticed a spot I hadn’t even mentioned and treated it without being asked. That level of attention to detail is rare. My cream carpet looks brand new and has stayed that way weeks later. Absolute legends.”
