Booking and Payment

How bookings are confirmed

Clear, simple terms so you know exactly what happens after you send a request.

Booking and payment

  • A request is subject to local cleaner availability. A booking is confirmed only after Anytime Cleaner accepts it in writing and receives any deposit requested for that booking.
  • Rates are charged per cleaner, per hour, with a minimum booking of three hours per cleaner.
  • Weekend and Victorian public-holiday rates reflect the higher cost of employing cleaners at those times. The applicable rate is displayed for each service. When a public holiday falls on a weekend, the public-holiday rate replaces the weekend rate; the two rates are not added together.
  • Prices shown on the website are starting rates. Final pricing is confirmed in writing.
  • Cleaning products are included. Customers must provide a working vacuum, mop and bucket at the property. Our cleaners do not bring cleaning equipment.
  • A 50% deposit may be required for a first booking, one-off, deep or end-of-lease clean, a subcontractor-allocated job, or a large or specialised job. We tell you before payment, credit it toward the total and never collect it twice.
  • The remaining balance is due on the day the cleaning is completed. Large or specialised job schedules are set out in the individual quote and agreed before work begins.
  • When required, a secure deposit invoice is sent before service and the balance invoice after completion by email or SMS.
  • Pay Anytime Cleaner through the secure Stripe instructions supplied, not the cleaner, unless authorised in writing.
  • Customers should never send card details through the contact form.

All times use Melbourne local time. Any charge is limited to reasonable actual loss after costs saved and replacement work are deducted. Deposits are credited against that loss, excess is refunded, and there is no double recovery. We fairly consider emergencies.

We send one-time secure payment links in Australian dollars. Payment is completed on Stripe’s hosted checkout — card details are never collected or stored here.
