How Many Hours Do I Need? A Helpful Guide
All our cleaning services are based on hourly rates, allowing you to book the time you need and specify your focus areas and priorities directly with your cleaner. The number of tasks completed is directly related to the total hours booked. As an example, a 2-hour booking would not be sufficient to clean a 4-bedroom home thoroughly.
Estimated Time Needed for Whole-Home Cleaning
Regular Clean & One-Off Clean
Includes General Clean: Full bathroom, floors (vac & mop), kitchen surfaces, and dusting (dependent on hours booked)

Hours needed are dependent on your unique requirements.

- 2 bed 1 bathroom: 6 - 8 hours
- 2 bed 2 bathroom: 6 - 10 hours
- 3 bed 1 bathroom: 6 - 10 hours

One Cleaner, One Job
The cleaning times estimated in this guide, and the hours you select on our booking form, are calculated as labour hours for a single cleaner. We typically assign just one cleaner per job, rather than teams, to ensure greater reliability and accountability. However, for extensive tasks like a Deep Clean exceeding 8 hours, we may arrange a team of cleaners. Therefore, if you book 3 hours or see an estimate for 3 hours in this guide, it means one cleaner will work for 3 hours cleaning your home.
Why do extra bedrooms add more cleaning time?
The time taken to clean an additional bedroom isn’t the main factor. Rather, homes with more bedrooms usually have other enlarged spaces too—like bigger kitchens or an extra living room etc. So, when we estimate cleaning time for a home with more bedrooms, it’s not about the bedrooms per se; it’s about the overall increase in the size of the home. For instance, a home with 5 bedrooms isn’t just two bedrooms larger than a 3-bedroom home; it’s usually significantly bigger overall, with more spaces that require cleaning.
How do extra bathrooms affect the overall cleaning time required?
Unlike bedrooms, bathrooms are often some of the most labour-intensive areas to clean in a home, due to the variety of surfaces and the high level of cleanliness required. Cleaning an extra bathroom can add anywhere from 30 minutes to 1 hour to the overall cleaning time, and a powder room (toilet-only room) may add another 15-20 minutes. Additionally, more bathrooms also suggests a larger home size and complexity, which, while playing a smaller role, still contributes to the overall estimated cleaning time.
Other Factors Affecting Time Needed
- Single or Double Story Home
- Condition of Home (When was it last thoroughly cleaned?)
- Your Specific Requirements (Some tasks are more time-consuming)
Fair Comparisons, Evaluating Cost and Service
If transitioning from a fixed-price cleaning service to our hourly-rate model, consider the overall cost for a comparable amount of cleaning. If you book a base level of 2 hours with us but used to pay your previous cleaner twice as much, you may have been paying for two cleaners. Therefore, to achieve a similar amount of work done, a 4-hour booking with us would be needed.
This is a general guide only and may not be suited to your needs and home. You may need more or less hours.
Why Our Hourly Rate Service is Your Best Choice
When it comes to cleaning services, you often face two options: fixed price or hourly rate. We're committed to offering you the best value and quality, which is why we've chosen to provide services at an hourly rate. Here's why:
Transparency & Consistency
With hourly rates, you get exactly what you pay for—no more, no less. When you book a 3-hour service, you're guaranteed 3 hours of dedicated cleaning. This way, you can measure the service you receive, ensuring consistent and fair delivery every time.
Flexibility to Suit Your Needs
Our hourly rate system lets you tailor the cleaning to what you specifically require. Whether you need your entire house cleaned or just specific areas, you decide the focus and duration, making your service customisable and adaptable.
Upfront, No-Surprise Pricing
When you book with us, you choose the number of hours you want your cleaner to work. The price is confirmed at the time of booking, and that's exactly what you'll pay. Your cleaner will complete as much as they can within your pre-booked time. So, there are no hidden fees or unexpected charges. You're in control, always. In contrast, fixed-price services may offer low initial quotes, only to increase charges later.
