Excellent communication. Average clean
Excellent communication and cleaner arranged quickly. The clean was average with the cleaner using one cloth and a light spray cleaner for most of the work. I expected a deeper clean for a spring clean. Front door was left smeared due to a dirty cloth. I had to ask cleaner to do a few things over.

The cleaners aren’t very reliable
The cleaners aren’t very reliable after 1 or 2 cleans they are no longer available. They don’t like short cleans.

Fantastic cleaner
My cleaner shows great initiative and is very good cleaner. Leaves the house smelling great and dusted.

Give them a go!!!
Bel and Tahsin were very thorough when cleaning our home. They were punctual, friendly and took great pride in their work.
Absolute Cleaning were really good and answered my initial questions within 24 hours. They kept us up to date every step of the way.
I cannot recommend this cleaning service highly enough.

Professional and Helpful
Absolute domestics have been a life saver for me as a full time working Mum. Such a relief to come home to clean house. My first cleaner left and they could not have been more helpful in finding me another excellent helper. Highly recommended.

Cleaning Angel 😇
When I enquired about getting a regular cleaner to help me with the housework, I didn’t expect to be matched with a local cleaner so quickly! Before to knew it, I had a woman booked in to start immediately. I was so impressed with the company’s professionalism. I was connected with a lovely lady named Shahnaz, who was so friendly and respectful of me, my home, and my entire family. Not only that, she was the most thorough, efficient and hardworking cleaner I have ever hired. She did not even attempt to cut corners, and I was amazed at how much she managed to get completed in the two hours she was at my house. She now comes once a fortnight, and has made my life so much easier by taking on the majority of those tasks that I always hated such as the bathrooms, toilets, and kitchen. I will be forever grateful to Absolute Domestics for their help in finding me a fortnightly angel.

All Round Good Employees
We are on our second cleaner from Absolute Domestics, our first delightful young lady left to change careers and our current one a young man. Not only have these two been good cleaners, they have both been pleasant, reliable, totally honest and able to take direction on what needed improvement or different areas needing attention.

Reasonable price, my cleaner is really great
Sapphire has been cleaning my daughter's house for some time, and when my cleaner left, I requested Sapphire, and luckily she had some time for my clean.
She is incredibly reliable, does a great job, and I find the price acceptable.
The other regular cleaner I had was also really good, but when I had one I did not really 'gel' with, there was no problem with getting another.

Our cleaner is always punctual, very polite and an excellent worker
His attention to detail is almost faultless and with the exception of some of the dusting, is very thorough.
He had been with us for a few months now and I hope he remains with us for a long time.

Terrible service
Terrible service!
Inexperienced cleaners (Uni boys who have no idea how to clean). Left my house dirtier than before. Please STAY AWAY from them and save your time and money. I have no words for how they cleaned my house or should I say messed it up.

Hi Ritu,
Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on your recent cleaning service. We sincerely apologise for the experience that left you dissatisfied.
We have reviewed your comments and spoken with the cleaner assigned to your home on 4 October. According to the cleaner, your home is large with three bathrooms, which also required a deeper clean, which took a significant amount of the 4-hour service time.
While the cleaner agreed that the bathroom mirror was mistakenly missed, they did suggest that additional time may be required to complete the full scope of work you required. We note that this suggestion was not taken onboard. Additionally, the cleaner noted that people and children were walking through the house, on the floors, during mopping and that this affected the outcome of the clean.
We attempted to contact you via phone on multiple occasions (4, 9, and 10 October) to discuss and resolve this matter. Unfortunately, we were unable to reach you.
We had not received any response or further correspondence from yourself regarding your feedback until you left this review of the service. In the meantime, given the circumstances, the cleaner has agreed to consider the matter resolved with no payment for the service provided.
We regret that we were unable to meet your expectations and would like to assure you that your feedback is invaluable for us to improve our services. If you have any further concerns or if there is anything more we can do to rectify the situation, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Best Regards,
Absolute Domestics
Not a reliable cleaning service
To be honest I find Absolute Domestics cleaners pretty unreliable in general. I have been using their services for about 10-12 months now with multiple cleaners over that period. Often times they accept a booking and then cancel at the last minute, no notice given, just cancelled. Sometimes they will come for a little while then cancel a day before their next booking leaving me scrambling to find a replacement. I had one today tell me she was coming tomorrow to clean and would be cleaning weekly, I asked if she could start next week to which she replied she was fully booked next week. How was she doing a weekly clean if she's booked out next week? That makes no sense at all, and is just reflective of the quality of people they hire there. I also advised them early on when I made the booking that I needed the cleaner to bring their own equip however this info was never passed on as the cleaner arrived asking for me to provide the equip and then charged me $10 more to use theirs. The cleaners who have come regularly have been fine, but just not a reliable service and have to look elsewhere now.

Untrustworthy agent
I regret to inform you that the cleaning services provided by your agency were unsatisfactory. Two cleaners were dispatched to my recently constructed residence, which had only been occupied for a week and therefore exhibited minimal dirt or stains. Despite the absence of any significant cleaning requirements, the cleaners allocated an hour each to clean a brand-new kitchen that had only been used twice, a single bathroom, and three glass panels on the staircase. Subsequently, they spent an additional thirty minutes each vacuuming only a quarter of the house, including a second bathroom where they merely cleaned the shower but neglected to clean the toilet. Finally, they mopped the floor, which I had already cleaned two days prior.
Furthermore, the glass surfaces in the shower and mirrors were left smudged and unclear. When I requested that they rectify the situation by cleaning the oily glass surfaces, they informed me that this service would be provided during their next visit. Upon expressing my insistence, they suggested that I use a solution of vinegar and water. This recommendation raises the question as to why they did not proactively request these materials in the first place. The overall conduct of the cleaners was unprofessional and fell short of the standards expected from a reputable cleaning service.
The agent's performance was subpar. They offered no assistance in resolving the issue and declined to assist in cleaning up the mess made by the cleaners. They stated that they were unable to provide assistance if the cleaners had already left the premises with the cash. I would not recommend using this agent.

Hi Flora,
Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention. We deeply regret that our recent cleaning service did not meet your expectations, especially given the nature of your new home.
On September 24th, you informed us that our cleaners attended your property to complete a cleaning service. You advised the cleaners left marks on surfaces, did not correctly put the stove top back, performed subpar dusting, and did not properly address the oil marks in the kitchen. You mentioned that despite your limited cleaning needs, nothing was done to your satisfaction, and the cleaners seemed more interested in collecting payment than providing quality service. We understand you paid $113 for the service and are requesting a $60 refund.
We have spoken with the cleaners regarding your feedback. They indicated that the products and equipment provided were not of the necessary quality and that the cleaning chemicals were not suitable for the tasks requested. Additionally, they mentioned that the vacuum was not functional due to a flat battery. Nevertheless, these factors should not have compromised the quality of service you received.
We recognise that the service fell short of your expectations and are committed to making it right. To address this, we are open to discussing alternative ways to rectify the situation, beyond a refund, as the cleaning contractors have advised they are not willing to provide a refund due to the factors stated above – they believe they have done the best they can with what was provided.
During our last call, we struggled to find common ground on what a good outcome would be for you. You proposed sending a team and waiving the agency fee, which the Area Coordinator advised was a decision she would have to escalate with a supervisor to explore that possibility. We note that, at the time, this suggestion further escalated the situation as it was not a decision that could be made immediately.
Please note that we are committed to finding an alternative resolution. However, as advised, the Area Coordinator will need to escalate this matter and arrive at a fair and reasonable solution. We remain dedicated to working with you to resolve this issue.
Please let us know a convenient time to discuss this further, or feel free to contact our Area Coordinator directly. We would love to work towards a resolution for you.
Best Regards,
Absolute Domestics
Unreliable!
Had an important event at my place on a Sunday and we had booked the full house cleaning for a previous Saturday afternoon but the cleaning was cancelled by the cleaner at the eleventh hour leaving us no choice other than to clean ourselves. very disappointing and highly unprofessional. Never using them again!

Hi,
Thank you for your feedback regarding the recent cleaning service. We apologise for any inconvenience and frustration caused by this experience.
We understand your concern about the time taken for the clean. Our cleaner was informed that the job might take longer than 3 hours; however, it appears there was a miscommunication regarding the exact expected duration. The cleaner thoroughly vacuumed, dusted, and cleaned the staircase and bathrooms as requested.
Unfortunately, due to your need to leave and the delayed start, the cleaner was unable to complete one of the bathrooms and the downstairs area within the time you allowed.
Our Area Coordinator reached out to address your concerns and offered to have the cleaner return to complete the job or discuss a potential refund, both of which were declined. We understand your frustration with the timing and the cleaner's late arrival, and we sincerely apologise for not meeting your expectations in this regard.
We are consistently working to enhance our services, and your feedback plays a crucial role in this process. We would like to reiterate our offers for discussing reimbursement or having the assigned cleaner return to complete the job. If you have changed your mind and are interested in this resolution, let us know and we will address this issue for you.
Once again, we apologise for any inconvenience caused and appreciate your understanding.
Best Regards,
Absolute Domestics
I am honestly so upset
I am honestly so upset. I chose to go with absolute domestics as they were able to come quicker than the service highly recommended to me and they did such a terrible job. I was generous with time allowing for 2.5 hours for what should take maximum 2 hours and instead the couple just did one person working at a time (even though they were being paid to both be) and didn’t actually do any of the things properly or leave the house in the clean state it should be $125 later. My quote was also 12$ cheaper for some reason and I’m so annoyed I just paid for someone to basically just do a bad vaccum and mop, and also do bathrooms. They didn’t have any cleaning supplies that I saw yet I paid extra for them. I have tried to call and got no answer but have heaps of photos and so upset.

Hi Georgina,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. I want to sincerely apologise for the frustration and disappointment you’ve experienced with our service. We always aim to provide the highest standard of cleaning, and it’s clear that we fell short of that expectation during your recent cleaning service.
We've reviewed the details of your feedback and spoken with the cleaners involved to better understand what went wrong.
It’s disappointing to hear that areas like under the couch and the bathroom were not cleaned to your satisfaction, and that essential tasks like wiping down surfaces were missed. The cleaners did bring their own equipment and products, including vacuum, mop, and various cleaning chemicals, but it appears they did not use them effectively. This is not acceptable, and has been addressed directly with the cleaners to ensure this does not happen again.
You mentioned that the cleaners were working at a slower pace and did not fully utilise the time allocated for the job. They should have ensured that the full 2.5 hours were dedicated to making your home spotless, and we apologise for their lack of efficiency.
We understand there was an overcharge of $12.50 on your quote, and I can confirm this has been refunded along with an additional $30 for the unsatisfactory service you received. The total refund of $42.50 should now be reflected in your account.
We are also truly sorry for the damage caused to your floor during the cleaning. Our Damage Department has been notified and has been in touch with you to address this issue and discuss the next steps.
We've assigned a new cleaner to your booking who has an excellent track record, and we are confident that she will meet your expectations. We value your trust in us and will do everything we can to restore your confidence in our service.
If you have any further concerns or questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us directly.
Best Regards,
Absolute Domestics
