Cleaning tips
How many cleaner-hours does my home need?
Use your priorities, home condition and desired breadth—not bedroom count alone—to choose a starting point.

Cleaner-hours measure total labour. One cleaner for three hours or two cleaners for about one and a half hours each both equal three cleaner-hours.
Why bedrooms are not enough Two homes with the same bedroom count can need very different amounts of work. The number of bathrooms, floor types, current condition, clutter, pets and your priorities all affect what can be completed carefully.
Start with the outcome you want Write down the two or three areas that would make the biggest difference. Then decide whether you want focused upkeep or broader attention across the home. This gives us more useful information than a bedroom count alone.
Three cleaner-hours Ciao Essentials starts at three cleaner-hours and can suit apartments, smaller homes or a focused regular clean. The total is A$240.
Four cleaner-hours Ciao Essentials is also available as four cleaner-hours and and can suit many family homes or households wanting broader room coverage. The total is A$320.
First or reset cleans Ciao Reset starts at three cleaner-hours and is guided at A$90 per cleaner-hour. A first clean may need more time depending on the home’s condition and your priorities, so scope and final time are confirmed before booking.
