Maid At Home apartment cleaning in Melbourne currently starts at $155 for a one-bedroom Standard Clean and $215 for a one-bedroom Deep Clean. The total changes with bedrooms, service type, frequency and selected extras.
Current apartment cleaning prices in Melbourne
Maid At Home uses bedroom-based flat rates for defined whole-home services. As of July 2026, the one-off core prices are:
| Bedrooms | Standard Clean | Deep Clean | Move In / End of Lease |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | $155 | $215 | $410 |
| 2 | $175 | $245 | $440 |
| 3 | $195 | $275 | $500 |
| 4 | $235 | $315 | $570 |
Prices are Australian dollars and include GST. Optional extras are added separately. Check the live pricing page before booking because prices and scope can change.
A studio should not automatically be assumed to cost less than the one-bedroom starting rate. Bathrooms, kitchens, access and the whole-home scope still need service even when the sleeping area is open plan.
Standard, Deep or Hourly cleaning?
A Standard House Clean suits a maintained, lived-in apartment needing routine kitchen, bathroom, surface and floor care. It offers a defined scope and bedroom-based total.
A Deep Clean is the better start when grease, soap residue, edge dust or neglected detail appears across the apartment. Booking Standard Cleaning while expecting a deep reset creates a scope mismatch.
Hourly Cleaning costs $60 per booked team hour with a two-hour minimum. Two cleaners working for one hour use two team hours. It suits a priority list when tasks beyond the booked time may remain.
What changes the apartment cleaning cost?
Bedrooms and condition
Bedroom count sets the flat-rate base because it approximates the whole-home scope. Bathrooms, living spaces, kitchen and floors remain part of the property. Routine marks fit Standard Cleaning; widespread buildup may require Deep Cleaning.
Optional extras
Current optional prices include:
| Extra | Price |
|---|---|
| Inside standard oven | $65 |
| Inside fridge | $30 |
| Interior windows | $70 |
| Balcony | $35 |
| Inside empty cabinets | $45 |
| Change bed linen | $10 |
Carpet steam cleaning is priced separately according to room quantities. Review Carpet Cleaning if vacuuming is not enough.
Frequency
Eligible weekly and fortnightly Standard Cleaning receives 10% off from the second service. Eligible cleaning every three or four weeks receives 5% off from the second service. The first visit remains at the one-off rate.

Apartment access and booking time
Share parking, loading, lift, concierge, key and building-entry instructions before the service. Restricted access does not automatically change the published bedroom price, but delays reduce usable time and may affect equipment arrangements.
Tell the team about:
- visitor parking or loading restrictions;
- lift bookings and floor number;
- concierge sign-in;
- lockbox or key collection;
- building rules for waste or equipment;
- pets inside the apartment.

What is included?
Core cleaning covers accessible kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, living and floor surfaces according to the selected service. It does not automatically include every appliance interior, cabinet, window or specialist carpet treatment.
Read what is included in a Melbourne house clean before comparing quotes. A cheaper figure is not better value when it excludes expected tasks.
How to reduce cost without reducing the result
Choose the correct service, clear loose belongings and select extras deliberately. More of the appointment can be used for cleaning when access is simple and surfaces are available.
Recurring service can reduce eligible Standard prices, but frequency should match actual use. Compare weekly and fortnightly cleaning instead of choosing frequency only for the discount.
Do not understate condition to obtain a lower starting quote. A realistic scope is more useful than a cheap booking that cannot deliver the expected result.
