House Cleaning in Carnegie

Carnegie sits in postcode 3163, an inner south-east Melbourne suburb in the Glen Eira LGA along the busy Koornang Road shopping strip. The housing stock is mixed: Edwardian and interwar period homes on the back streets, postwar walk-up apartment blocks, and an increasing number of modern apartments around Carnegie Station. Excel has been cleaning homes across Carnegie since 2013.

Our Carnegie house cleaning service covers postcode 3163, plus the surrounding inner south-east suburbs of Murrumbeena (3163), Caulfield (3162), Glen Huntly (3163), Ormond (3204), Hughesdale (3166), and Bentleigh East (3165).

Our cleaners know the area, including the parking patterns around Koornang Road during the weekend cafe rush, the buzzer systems on the newer Carnegie Station apartments, and the older period homes that benefit from extra care for original timber detailing. Most Carnegie bookings are weekly or fortnightly recurring cleans, plus end-of-lease cleans driven by the area's apartment rental market.

You'll get the same cleaner every visit, fully insured and police-checked, with all products and equipment included.

Why Carnegie Residents Choose Excel Cleaning

Local Cleaners Who Know the Area

Your cleaner services Carnegie and the surrounding area regularly. They know the local streets, they're familiar with the housing styles, and they arrive on time because they're not driving across the city.

Same Cleaner Every Visit

Once we match you with a cleaner, they're your cleaner. No app rotations, no different person each week. They learn your home and your preferences.

Insured & Police-Checked

Every Excel cleaner is fully insured and holds a current police check. We hire employees, not subcontractors, so you always have recourse.

Flexible Scheduling

Weekly, fortnightly, monthly, or one-off. Mornings, afternoons, weekdays. We work around your schedule, not the other way around.

No Lock-In Contracts

Cancel or pause any time, no questions asked. We earn your business every visit, not by tying you in.

326 Melbourne Suburbs

From Toorak to Craigieburn, Brunswick to Berwick. We cover Melbourne's inner, eastern, northern, western, and south-eastern suburbs.

"I've had a very good experience with Excel so far. The customer service has been excellent from the moment I first got in touch. My clear (Pia) has done a great job- for a split second last week I thought I had a brand-new kitchen! The price is also very reasonable for the service and my CBD location."

"I couldn’t be happier with Teresa from Excel Cleaning Services. She is an absolute delight, takes great pride in her work, and always goes the extra mile when she can. Those little extras never go unnoticed and are so appreciated. I’ve been searching for a cleaner like Teresa for a long time and am so grateful I found her. I highly recommend her"

Family-Owned, Melbourne-Focused

Family-Owned, Melbourne-Focused

Excel Cleaning is a Melbourne family business, trading since 2013 and backed by 30+ years of family experience in the trade. We started with one cleaner and a boot full of supplies, and have grown carefully, one household at a time, by treating our cleaners well and our customers like neighbours.

We don't run a national franchise model. We don't farm bookings out to gig-economy contractors. Every cleaner is an Excel employee, trained the same way, police-checked, insured, and accountable to us. When something goes wrong, you call the same family-run office in Melbourne, not a call centre.

That’s why we’ve completed 500k+ cleans and earned a 4.8 rating from 251 reviews across Google, Product Review and more.

Frequently asked questions

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

We price by the hour, with a 2-hour minimum, and the rate is the same in Carnegie as everywhere else we clean. For an exact figure, use See My Price or call the office. A real person answers and will talk you through it, no obligation.

Two hours is our minimum booking. For a small one-bedroom apartment or unit, that is usually enough for the kitchen, bathroom, vacuuming and mopping. Larger homes typically need three to four hours. Use See My Price for a quote on your home.

In a 3-hour clean, our cleaners typically complete kitchen (benchtops, stovetop, sink, surface cabinets), bathrooms (toilet, basin, shower, mirror), 2 to 3 bedrooms (dust, vacuum, beds), and living areas (vacuum, mop, dust). End-of-lease cleans take longer because they include inside oven, range hood, blinds and skirting boards.

Yes. We service Carnegie (3163), Murrumbeena (3163), and Caulfield (3162), along with surrounding inner south-east suburbs including Glen Huntly, Ormond, Hughesdale, and Bentleigh East. Same service and the same rate across all of these suburbs.

Same-day availability depends on the day and our cleaner schedule. We try to accommodate urgent bookings. Call us or fill out the quote form and we'll let you know within 30 minutes if a same-day clean is possible.

Yes. Our end-of-lease cleans in Carnegie follow the checklist local property managers inspect against. We offer a bond-back guarantee: if the agent flags anything, we come back and re-clean at no charge.

No, you don't need to be home. Many of our Carnegie clients give us a key, garage code, or lockbox code, or leave a hidden key on the day. We're fully insured and police-checked, so you can trust your cleaner with access. If you'd prefer to be home for the first visit so you can walk through your preferences in person, that's also welcome.

Everything. Our Carnegie cleaners arrive with all products, cloths, mops, and vacuums included as standard. If you'd prefer we use specific products you already have (such as eco-friendly brands, fragrance-free formulas, or specialty stone-floor cleaner), just let us know in your booking notes and we'll use yours instead.
