Walls tend to be the last thing people think about and the first thing a property manager notices. Maid at Home provides professional Wall Cleaning as part of a complete house cleaning service, removing marks, scuffs, and buildup so your walls look clean and well maintained.
We provide professional Wall Cleaning Services in South Melbourne, Port Melbourne, Albert Park and over 70 other suburbs.
If you're not completely happy with the result, we'll re-clean it at no extra cost to you.
Book Your First CleaningWalls are the largest surface in any room, but they are rarely included in a regular cleaning routine. Floors get mopped, benches get wiped, bathrooms get scrubbed, and walls get looked past until something makes them impossible to ignore. The result is that most homes carry a layer of marks, scuffs, and grime on their walls that accumulates slowly but changes how the space looks and feels in ways people often do not consciously connect.
The impact becomes most visible in high traffic areas. Hallways show scuffs and handprints at shoulder height. The wall beside a light switch collects fingerprints. The area above the stove carries grease and discolouration that builds from months of cooking. In family homes, it takes significantly less time for walls to show the full evidence of daily life. Crayon, pen, general marks, and the kind of gradual grime that no wipe can remove without the right products.
For rental properties, the condition of the walls is one of the most contentious aspects of any final inspection. Property managers look at walls room by room, noting every mark and area of deterioration. Marks that could have been cleaned are treated as tenant damage rather than fair wear and tear, which shifts the cost to the departing tenant. Getting the walls properly cleaned before the inspection removes the ambiguity and gives the property manager nothing to raise a dispute over.
Walls accumulate more than most people realise. Fingerprints near light switches, scuffs along hallways, grease marks above the stove, crayon or pen marks in family homes, and a general layer of dust and grime that settles over time. None of it is obvious until the light catches it or someone is standing there with a clipboard inspecting every surface.
Our cleaners work through each room, identifying and treating marks and stains with appropriate products for the wall finish. Painted walls, feature walls, and high traffic areas like hallways and around door handles all get the right level of attention. We work carefully to remove marks without damaging the paint or surface underneath.
Wall Cleaning is one of the most important inclusions for any end of lease situation. Our end of lease cleaning covers walls as part of the full property clean, and the condition of walls is one of the most debated points at final inspections. Getting them properly cleaned removes that risk before it becomes an issue.
For a full home refresh, our deep cleaning service includes Wall Cleaning as part of the thorough room by room process. Combined with blind cleaning, window cleaning, and balcony cleaning, the result is a property that looks genuinely well maintained rather than just surface clean.
For regular upkeep between deeper sessions, our standard cleaning keeps the main areas of your home in good condition, with Wall Cleaning available as an add-on whenever marks start appearing in high traffic areas.
Different rooms require different approaches. Hallways accumulate scuffs from bags and furniture movement. Kitchen walls collect grease and cooking residue. Children's rooms often have crayon or marker that needs careful treatment to avoid lifting the paint underneath. We assess each area and use the right product and technique for the specific surface and type of mark.
The condition of walls also affects how a property is perceived overall. A room with clean walls, even without updated furniture or new decor, feels better maintained and more comfortable to be in. For rental properties in particular, clean walls are one of the clearest signals that the property has been properly looked after.

Great team. We have been using Maid at Home for over 2.5 years. They are fabulous, our house is always spotless after they've been here. I would highly recommend them, lovely people, always punctual, fast and efficient.
We were so happy with our recent deep clean! Stefania and her partner did a perfect job getting our house ready for real estate photos. They went above and beyond and it included so many thoughtful special touches.
Honestly such a great experience. We booked an end of lease clean for our apartment in Melbourne and they did an amazing job. Super easy to deal with and really reliable. Would definitely use them again.
