Book online, get matched with a vetted local cleaner, and come home to a place that finally feels sorted — no phone tag, no waiting for quotes.
Pick your service and time, see your exact price before you confirm. No callbacks means you can book from the tram on the way to work.
A police-checked cleaner is assigned to your booking — the nearest is about 9 minutes from South Melbourne, so they arrive on time and know their way around secure buildings.
Your place is done while you're at the market or the office. Keep the same cleaner on a recurring schedule and they'll learn exactly how you like it.

Karan was assigned to clean my apartment. He was on time and did a fantastic job. I would definitely recommend Simply Maid and Karan for any cleaning service.
Alejandro is lovely. He doesn't just clean, but tidy up all my stray piles of stuff as well. And is very tolerant with my dog, who seems to hold a grudge against his feather duster.
Alejandro did an outstanding job. Would highly recommend him if you are in the Melbourne area.
The team did a great job for a standard inspection clean - punctual, friendly, thorough and value for money. Will book again soon.
Sokki and Jon did a fantastic job cleaning my place today, would use them again
They cleaned my house really well! Very polite, efficient.
Detailed. Easy to use. very professional
A very thorough clean. Very friendly and accommodating. Good value.
Fantastic service. I had a deep clean for a bit of a spring refresh and it was above and beyond, more thorough than I expected and markedly better than previous cleans I’ve booked from other Melbourne companies. The team was super friendly and professional. My apartment looks great—would definitely recommend and I’ll book them again.
Raj and his partner did an amazing job! Spotless clean apartment with a large balcony. Fully arrived on time (10 minutes early!). Easy and trustworthy. Great communication. Highly recommend!
South Melbourne packs a lot into a small footprint. Victorian terraces off Clarendon Street, warehouse conversions near the market, and one-bedroom apartments above cafés. Most of the homes we clean here are compact — and compact done properly is its own skill.
Small spaces show everything. A galley kitchen, a combined bathroom-laundry, balcony doors that let in city dust — there is nowhere for mess to hide. Our most-booked service here is hourly cleaning, with 61 bookings on record, because it fits smaller homes perfectly. You set the time, we make every minute count.
We have been cleaning South Melbourne homes since 2017, with over 110 cleans completed. Renters book us for move in/out cleans, owners book standard and deep cleans. One South Melbourne customer put it simply: "They did a really great job and they were very thorough. We were very happy with their work." Today, 29 vetted cleaners cover the suburb — the nearest is about 9 minutes away.
Then comes the good part: walking in after work to a home that smells fresh and feels sorted. Small space, big exhale.
South Melbourne blends heritage terraces around Emerald Hill with modern units near the market and Kings Way — a walkable, café-dense pocket where most residents live in one and two-bedroom homes.
