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.

"I came from retail. Weekends, late shifts, the lot. A friend told me Excel was hiring and I tried it. The first week was a lot, learning the products and how to do a bathroom properly. But I had a full week of regular clients within a fortnight. I work three days during school hours now. Pay's better than retail and nobody's asking me to work Christmas Eve."

"End of lease is not for everyone. You're scrubbing ovens and edges of windows and places no one ever looks. The first bond clean I did took me eight hours. Now I can do most three-bedroom places in five. The variety is what keeps me here. New house, new problem, new bond to chase down. Five years in and I still find something I haven't seen before."

"Both my NDIS regulars have been with me since I started, two years now. One of them has a parrot that says hello every time I walk in. I do about 17 hours most weeks, all during school hours so I'm home for pickup. The work is different to a regular clean. You're not just cleaning, you're there for someone, and that takes a kind of patience I wasn't sure I had at first. Turns out I did."

"I am very happy with this company. It’s very easy to book a clean. I met Angie in person , she is a nice lady. What i really like is that i only have to deal with one cleaner, compare to others that every clean is a different person. The admin constantly communicate with me asking always if i am happy with the service. I highly recommend them"

"We hired a cleaner through Excel and it was the best decision we've made. Senija was thorough, quick and did an excellent job. She was always on time and flexible when our usual time didn't work. Looking at other cleaners in our area the pricing is very competitive, especially for the quality of cleaning."

"I was recommended to Excel cleaning and I want to say I don’t regret it one bit! From the first phone call to my first home cleaning service, I am very pleased and impressed. Shini guided me through the process and remained professional and friendly. Everything handled swiftly. I am never looking bad after having issues with past cleaning services. Anita was 🤩👌. She left my home spotless, very kind hearted and hardworking. Thank you Anita ! You have been lifted a lot of stress off our shoulders especially being a young family. She made me feel comfortable and re-assured from the first meeting ( which is great btw) before getting the first service. Be blessed 🥹 🙏🏾"

FAQs

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.
