Sonam did a brilliant clean and was really kind to my 90 year old Mum Mum said her bathroom was so clean and smelt beautiful
Amazing job
Jimmy and Bhindia were great. Punctual, polite, efficient and did a wonderful job on our flat. Very pleased indeed.
Both Chris and Akemi are outstanding cleaners. They deliver high level results consistently and both are intent on exceeding our expectations each and every time.
They were phenomenal!!!
fantastic clean as always
Wonderful service as always.
It's always a pleasure to come home to a lovely clean house.
I'm making it very hard for my team at the moment with a lot of extra stuff cluttering up my space but they have been doing a great job working around that and still leaving my house lovely and clean.
Our cleaner was exceptional.
Simply Maid has 19 completed cleans on record in Forrest, and we've been cleaning Forrest homes since 2018. Most of what we clean here is compact — units and flats tucked between the embassies and Manuka Village. Small spaces, done properly.
Forrest sits between Parliament House and Manuka, and plenty of its residents live in low-rise apartments behind tree-lined streets. A smaller floor plan doesn't mean a quick once-over. Everything is closer to eye level, so smudges, dust and kitchen grease show fast. Our cleaners know how to work a two-bedroom flat top to bottom without cutting corners — and for renters, we handle end of lease cleans built around getting your bond back.
This isn't a suburb we hope to work in — it's one we already do. One Forrest customer put it simply: "Jimmy and Bhindia were great. Punctual, polite, efficient and did a wonderful job on our flat. Very pleased indeed." Today, 4 active vetted cleaners cover Forrest, and the nearest is about 11 minutes away. We also service Griffith, Manuka and Red Hill right on your border.
Book once and see the difference: you walk in the door near Manuka Village and the whole place feels lighter. Most customers say the same thing — "I wish I'd done it sooner."
Forrest is one of Canberra's leafiest Inner South suburbs — embassy streets and grand homes on one side, low-rise units and flats near Manuka on the other, with a mix of long-term owners and professional renters.
