If you’ve never hired a professional cleaning service before, it’s completely natural to wonder exactly what you’re paying for. What does a professional cleaner actually do that’s different from what you do yourself? Which areas get cleaned? What’s included as standard and what costs extra? And how do you know if you’re getting genuine value for money?
These are questions the team at Perth Cleaning Care hears every single day — from first-time customers across Perth who are considering professional cleaning for the first time, to long-term clients who want to make sure they’re getting the most out of every visit.
The truth is that professional cleaning services vary significantly from company to company. What one Perth cleaning company includes as standard, another may charge extra for. What looks like a bargain on the surface can turn out to be a very basic service that leaves most of your home untouched.
That’s why transparency matters so much to us at Perth Cleaning Care. We believe every Perth homeowner, renter, landlord, and business owner deserves to know exactly what they’re getting before they commit to a cleaning service — with no vague descriptions, no hidden extras, and absolutely no surprises.
In this comprehensive guide, we’ll walk you through exactly what is included in a professional cleaning service — covering every room, every type of cleaning service we offer, and the specific tasks involved in each. By the end, you’ll have a crystal-clear picture of what professional cleaning looks like when it’s done properly.
Why Hire a Professional Cleaning Service in Perth?
Before we dive into the specifics of what’s included, it’s worth taking a moment to understand why so many Perth residents and businesses choose professional cleaning over doing it themselves.
Time is the most obvious reason. The average Perth household spends between 6 and 10 hours per week on household cleaning and chores. For busy professionals, parents, and anyone juggling multiple commitments, that time is simply too valuable to spend scrubbing bathroom tiles or mopping floors. Professional cleaning gives you those hours back — every single week.
Results are the second reason. Professional cleaners bring commercial-grade equipment, specialist cleaning products, and years of hands-on experience to every job. The result is a level of cleanliness that most people simply cannot achieve on their own — no matter how much effort they put in. There’s a reason hotels, offices, and commercial spaces rely on professional cleaning teams to maintain their standards.
Health and hygiene are the third reason. Professional cleaning goes beyond the visible surface to address the bacteria, allergens, mould spores, and deep-seated grime that accumulate in homes over time — particularly in Perth’s warm, dusty climate. A professionally cleaned home is a genuinely healthier home.
Peace of mind is the fourth reason. When you work with a reputable, fully insured cleaning company like Perth Cleaning Care — with police-cleared staff, a 100% satisfaction guarantee, and transparent pricing — you can relax completely, knowing your home is in the best possible hands.
The Different Types of Professional Cleaning Services Available in Perth
Not all professional cleaning services are the same. At Perth Cleaning Care, we offer a comprehensive range of cleaning services designed to cover every need — from regular home maintenance to specialist one-off cleans. Understanding the difference between each service type will help you choose the right option for your situation.
Here are the main types of professional cleaning services available through Perth Cleaning Care in Perth:
- Regular Home Cleaning — ongoing scheduled cleaning visits (weekly, fortnightly, or monthly) that maintain your home’s cleanliness and hygiene consistently.
- End of Lease / Bond Cleaning — a comprehensive, checklist-based clean designed to return a rental property to the standard required for a successful bond inspection.
- Deep Cleaning / Spring Cleaning — an intensive, top-to-bottom clean that targets all the areas regular cleaning doesn’t reach — ideal for a seasonal reset or when a property hasn’t been professionally cleaned in some time.
- Commercial Cleaning — professional, scheduled cleaning of offices, retail spaces, medical facilities, gyms, childcare centres, and other commercial premises across Perth.
- Carpet Steam Cleaning — professional hot water extraction cleaning that removes deep-seated dirt, allergens, stains, and odours from carpet fibres.
- Window Cleaning — streak-free interior and exterior window cleaning for residential and commercial properties.
- Oven and Kitchen Cleaning — specialist degreasing and restoration of ovens, cooktops, rangehoods, and kitchen appliances.
- Airbnb and Holiday Rental Cleaning — fast, flexible turnovers between guest bookings, including linen changes and supply restocking.
- Post-Construction Cleaning — removal of dust, debris, paint residue, and construction waste following renovations or building work.
Each of these services has a different scope, which means what’s included varies from service to service. Let’s break each one down in detail.

What Is Included in Carpet Steam Cleaning?
Perth Cleaning Care’s professional carpet steam cleaning service uses hot water extraction — the industry gold standard — to deliver a deep, long-lasting clean that regular vacuuming simply cannot achieve.
Here is exactly what our carpet steam cleaning service includes:
Pre-inspection — our technician inspects the carpet, identifies any staining, high-traffic areas, or areas of concern, and discusses the approach with you before beginning.
Pre-vacuum — a thorough pre-vacuum of the carpet removes loose surface dirt and debris before the steam cleaning process begins, ensuring the hot water extraction is as effective as possible.
Pre-treatment of stains and high-traffic areas — a specialist pre-treatment solution is applied to stubborn stains, heavily soiled areas, and high-traffic zones to break down and lift embedded dirt before the main clean.
Hot water extraction — our professional-grade steam cleaning machine injects hot water and cleaning solution deep into the carpet fibres under pressure, then extracts it along with the dissolved dirt, allergens, bacteria, and stain residue. This process removes what vacuuming leaves behind.
Spot treatment — any remaining stains are treated individually with specialist spot cleaning products after the main extraction process.
Grooming — carpet fibres are groomed to restore their natural direction and promote even, faster drying.
Drying — Perth Cleaning Care’s high-powered extraction equipment removes the vast majority of moisture from the carpet during the cleaning process. Carpets are typically dry within 2 to 6 hours, depending on the weather and ventilation. We recommend opening windows and using fans or air conditioning to accelerate drying.
Our carpet steam cleaning service effectively removes dust mites and their allergens, pet dander, bacteria and germs, stubborn stains and odours, and deeply embedded soil and debris — leaving your carpets looking, smelling, and feeling genuinely clean.
What Is Included in Window Cleaning?
Perth Cleaning Care’s window cleaning service delivers streak-free, crystal-clear results for both residential and commercial properties across Perth.
Our window cleaning service covers interior glass cleaning of all windows throughout the property, exterior glass cleaning where safely accessible, window frame and sill wiping, window track cleaning and debris removal, glass door cleaning — sliding doors, French doors, and entry doors, and screen cleaning where applicable.
We use professional-grade squeegees, extension poles, and purified water systems for exterior windows to ensure a streak-free result every time. Our window cleaning team is experienced with single-storey and multi-storey residential properties and commercial buildings throughout Perth.
What Is Included in Oven and Kitchen Appliance Cleaning?
Perth Cleaning Care’s specialist oven and kitchen cleaning service restores your cooking appliances to a like-new condition using professional-grade, food-safe degreasing products.
Our oven and kitchen cleaning service covers the full oven interior including walls, base, roof, and back panel, oven door inside and out including between the glass panels where accessible, oven racks, trays, and grill elements removed and soaked in degreasing solution, cooktop surface including all burners, trivets, and drip trays, rangehood interior and exterior, rangehood filter degreasing or replacement recommendation, microwave interior and exterior, and splashback degreasing.
This service is available as a standalone booking or as an add-on to any other Perth Cleaning Care service.
What Is Included in Airbnb and Holiday Rental Cleaning?

What Is NOT Typically Included in a Standard Professional Cleaning Service?
In the interest of complete transparency — which is central to everything Perth Cleaning Care does — it’s important to be clear about what is generally not included in a standard regular cleaning service, even from a reputable company.
Tasks that are typically not included in a standard regular clean and may require a separate booking or add-on include the full interior oven deep clean, inside kitchen cupboards and drawers, behind and underneath appliances, rangehood filter degreasing, window exterior cleaning, garage cleaning, garden and outdoor maintenance, carpet steam cleaning, tile and grout deep scrubbing, exhaust fan deep cleaning, and wall washing.
At Perth Cleaning Care, we are always upfront about what is and isn’t included in each service before you book. If you have specific areas or tasks you want covered, simply let us know when you request yourquotet,e and we’ll tailor your service accordingly.
How to Get the Most Out of Your Professional Cleaning Service
To ensure you get maximum value from every Perth Cleaning Care visit, here are a few practical tips from our experienced team:
Communicate your priorities clearly. Before your first clean, let us know which areas of your home matter most to you, any specific products you prefer us to avoid, and any areas of concern. Our team will note your preferences and ensure they’re addressed on every visit.
Declutter before we arrive. A tidy home allows our cleaning team to spend every minute on actual cleaning rather than moving items around. You don’t need to deep-clean before we arrive — just clear surfaces and floors of personal items so our team can access every area.
Be specific about add-ons. If you want the oven cleaned, the inside of cupboards done, or carpets steam cleaned — tell us when you book. These tasks are easy to add to any service, and we’ll include them in your upfront quote.
Give feedback after your first clean. Your first visit with Perth Cleaning Care is a great opportunity to fine-tune your service. Let us know what you loved and anything you’d like adjusted — our team takes this feedback seriously and applies it to every subsequent visit.
Consider combining services for the best value. Bundling a regular home clean with a periodic deep clean, carpet steam cleaning, or oven clean is the most cost-effective way to maintain a comprehensively clean home year-round.
