House Cleaning in Footscray

Footscray is one of Melbourne’s most diverse inner-west suburbs. The housing stock runs from Victorian worker’s cottages along Hopkins and Buckley Streets, to weatherboard renovations in West Footscray, to new apartments around Footscray Station and Joseph Road. Excel has been cleaning homes across this area for over 30 years.

Our Footscray house cleaning service covers postcodes 3011 (Footscray, Seddon, Kingsville) and 3012 (West Footscray, Maidstone, Tottenham), plus the surrounding inner-west suburbs of Yarraville, Maribyrnong, and Ascot Vale.

House Cleaning in Footscray

Our cleaners know the area, including the parking pinch around Footscray Market on Saturdays, the apartment buzzer systems on Joseph Road, and the older homes near the Maribyrnong River that often need extra care for original timber floors. Most Footscray bookings are weekday-morning weekly or fortnightly cleans, but we also handle one-off deep cleans, end-of-lease cleans, and NDIS-funded household tasks.

You’ll get the same cleaner every visit, fully insured and police-checked, with all products and equipment included at $53/hour.

Why Footscray Residents Choose Excel Cleaning

Local Cleaners Who Know the Area

Your cleaner services the Footscray and inner-west 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

No rotating roster. You get one cleaner who comes on the same day, at the same time. They learn your preferences: which products you like, whether you want the beds made a certain way, which rooms matter most to you.

Insured & Police-Checked

Every cleaner holds public liability insurance and a current national police check. Footscray homeowners leave keys with us regularly. They know their home is in safe hands.

Flexible Scheduling

Book weekly, fortnightly, or as a one-off. Change frequency, pause, or cancel anytime with 48 hours’ notice. We work around your schedule, not the other way around.

No Lock-In Contracts

No exit fees, no minimum terms. We keep our clients because they want to stay, not because they’re locked in.

326 Melbourne Suburbs

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

What Excel is Best For in Footscray

Different Footscray homes need different cleaning support. Here’s what we’re booked for most often in the area.

End-of-Lease Cleans

"Beyond expectations in customer service. I called Excel Cleaning with a last minute vacate job and they responded quickly and efficiently. Within minutes they were able to confirm a time and price. As I work full time and could not be there to let the cleaners in they were able to assist me with alternative methods which meant I could get on with my day. I was kept informed with any issues and was told when the job was done upon completion.Excel Cleaning took the stress out of a difficult time so for that I can't thank them enough."

Family-Owned, Melbourne-Focused

Family-Owned, Melbourne-Focused

Excel Cleaning has been keeping Melbourne homes spotless since 2013. What started as a small family business in Moonee Ponds has grown into one of the city’s most trusted cleaning teams, with over 500k+ cleans completed across 326 suburbs.

We’re not a franchise and we’re not an app. Every cleaner on our team is hand-picked, police-checked, and fully insured. We match you with one person who learns your home and comes back every visit. No rotating rosters, no strangers, no surprises.

Whether it’s a weekly clean, a one-off reset, or help through a government-funded programme, the standard is the same: reliable, thorough, and respectful of your space.

Frequently asked questions

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

Excel charges $53/hour for house cleaning in Footscray, with a 2-hour minimum ($106 starting). The broader Melbourne market typically ranges from $45 to $75 per hour. We publish our prices publicly. Most cleaning companies don’t.

A 2-hour clean with Excel in Footscray is $106, our minimum booking. For a small 1-bedroom apartment or unit, 2 hours is usually enough for kitchen, bathroom, vacuuming and mopping. Larger homes typically need 3 to 4 hours.

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 Footscray (postcode 3011), West Footscray (3012), and Maribyrnong (3032), along with surrounding inner-west suburbs including Yarraville, Seddon, Maidstone, and Kingsville. Same $53/hour 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 Footscray start at $295 and follow a 100-point checklist built from what local property managers actually inspect. 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 Footscray 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 Footscray cleaners arrive with all products, cloths, mops, and vacuums included in the $53/hour rate. 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.
