Flexible Hours

Choose your own hours: mornings, school hours, or full days. Most cleaners work 15–30 hours per week. You pick the days and suburbs that work for you.

$35+ Per Hour

Steady weekly income, not gig-by-gig pay. No chasing clients for payment. We handle all bookings, billing, and invoicing.

Work Close to Home

We match you with clients in your area. No long drives between jobs. Most cleaners work within a 15-minute radius of home.

Training & Support

New to cleaning? Full training provided: techniques, products, time management, and client communication. Plus ongoing support from our office team.

Equipment & Products

Most clients provide their own products and equipment. When you need to bring your own, you're paid extra. All you need is a reliable car and a mobile phone.

No Experience Needed

Many of our best cleaners started with zero professional experience. If you're reliable, detail-oriented, and take pride in your work, we'll teach you the rest.

First place that I have worked at where I felt my hard work was appreciated. Being able to pick my own work hours allowed for great work life balance. Plenty of work available Given the responsibility to manage your own clients means you aren’t micromanaged but staff extremely helpful when support was needed. Only leaving as I’m moving interstate

I love the flexible times so I can still take my child to and from school. I like seeing my clients regularly and they are happy to see me. i was out of the workforce for quite a long time and mangement made me feel welcome from the start. If there were any issues they were there to help me out right away.

Working for Excel Cleaning has been a great experience. Starting from the training, the trainer educated me correctly as to the Australian standards. She taught me to clean efficiently and quickly also managing the time well. The payment process was explained well and in the end there was question answer session which cleared any doubt we had. All through that I have been working with them there has been continuous support, guidance and help provided at all times. In times when I was unwell and had to take up emergency leave or had to go overseas to meet my family always there has been clear communication and fill-in was taken care of.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about cleaning jobs at Excel. Can't find the answer? Get in touch.

Cleaners at Excel earn $35+ per hour. Your actual earnings depend on how many hours you work each week and the type of cleaning. We can talk you through the specifics during your phone chat.

No. Many of our cleaners started with no professional cleaning experience. We provide full training covering techniques, products, time management, and client communication.

You choose. Most cleaners work Monday to Friday during school hours (9am-3pm), but morning, afternoon, and full-day shifts are also available.

Part-time only. Most cleaners work 15-30 hours per week, with 30 hours as the upper limit. If you need full-time work, this isn't the right role.

Yes. You'll travel between client homes, so a reliable car is essential. Most cleaners work within a 15-minute drive of home. You don't need your own cleaning products or equipment - most clients provide their own.

End of lease (vacate) cleaning typically pays the most per hour because the work is more intensive and time-bound. Regular house cleaning, NDIS, and aged care cleaning offer the most consistent weekly income because the bookings are ongoing.
