Frequently Asked Questions

Click & Clean

Do you work with government-funded packages?

Yes. We work with aged-care funded clients- We can coordinate directly with your provider. We also provide services to self-funded clients- just contact us to find out more information.

We provide general weekly or fortnightly home cleaning and deep cleaning as required.

Your general clean includes light cleaning tasks in the main areas of your home. Wiping surfaces, dusting, mopping, vacuuming. We can also change the linen on your bed.

Just call or message our office. We’re flexible and will help find a new time that suits you.

That’s okay — it happens often.

We usually come at the same day and time each visit.

We will contact you if your appointment changes.

Most cleaning visits take around 1.5 hours.

That gives your cleaner time to complete your cleaning plan and check in with you for a chat or cuppa if you’d like.

We understand this can feel confusing.

We provide a 2-hour service package, but you’re not actually receiving 2 hours of cleaning.

Through your aged-care support package, the visit includes:

  • Around 1.5 hours of cleaning and support time
  • Time for travel
  • Equipment preparation and maintenance
  • Safety checks
  • Reporting and communication back to the office
  • Administrative time that ensures your service runs smoothly

Your cleaner will always:

  • Prioritise your cleaning checklist
  • Make sure everything is completed to standard
  • Check in on your well-being

If anything is ever missed, just contact us — we will follow it up immediately.

Yes, someone needs to be home.

If you aren’t able to be home, just call us and we’ll do our best to reschedule your visit.

We do our very best to keep your cleaner the same.

Sometimes we may need to send someone different (due to illness, leave, or safety reasons)

No.

Your service is paid for through your provider (e.g. Kirinari). Kirinari will send you an invoice for your contribution payment.

Cleaners do not handle payments.

We focus on the areas you use the most, such as:

  • Kitchen
  • Main Bathroom
  • Toilet
  • Living areas
  • Laundry
  • Main bedroom

If you’d like your sheets changed, just leave fresh linen out on the bed.

Deep cleaning includes tasks that you don’t need done regularly- like window cleaning, high or low dusting (skirting boards, fan blades), cleaning of heavy soap scum/mould, and any other tasks that require more intensive cleaning practices or equipment.

We do deep clean — however it is booked separately from regular visits. If you’d like a deep clean done, let us know and we can arrange for the service.

Your regular cleaning package includes one of each area. The cleaner won’t be able to attend to multiple bedrooms, bathrooms or living areas. You can pick one of each room to be cleaned – let your cleaner know which one you’d prefer to have cleaned during your visit. 
Yes — light household tasks are included. If you have specific preferences, just tell us.

No.

Personal care must be arranged separately through your provider and completed by a trained personal care worker.

Not during a regular visit.

But if you need extra support, just call us.

We can speak with your provider to see whether additional services can be added to your care plan.

We bring our own equipment to keep everything safe and consistent.

If you like, you may provide your own items like:

  • Microfibre cloths
  • A grout brush
  • A soft scrubber

If it happens occasionally — that’s okay.

But for everyone’s safety, pets do need to be in another room during the clean.

Please let us know straight away. We want you to feel comfortable, safe, and supported, and we will make sure to look into any reported issue as soon as possible.

Do you work with government-funded packages and Self funded clients?

Yes. We work with aged-care funded clients. We can coordinate directly with your provider. We also provide services to self-funded clients, just contact us to find out more information

We offer safe and light outdoor maintenance, including mowing, edging, pruning, weeding, leaf-blowing and general tidy-up around your home’s yard.
Yes. If you have a green waste bin we’ll use that, or if needed we can arrange removal of garden cuttings at an extra cost — just let us know.

Most visits take 45–90 minutes, depending on the size of the yard and weather conditions.

If you receive funded services, part of the appointment time includes the worker’s travel, safety checks, equipment prep, and reporting — not all time is spent cutting grass.

Absolutely. We can trim overgrown vegetation, clear pathways, remove trip hazards, and ensure outdoor spaces are safe and easy to access.

Not always — as long as we have safe, clear access to your yard and you’ve let us know where things are, we can work without you being physically present. But we’re always happy for you to be home or nearby.

Yes — our team brings professional garden tools, safety gear and protective equipment so you don’t need to supply anything.

That’s okay — it happens often. We usually come at the same day and time.

If you’d like reminder texts or calls, just ask and we’ll set that up.

Light tasks are fine, but anything outside your care plan or safety guidelines needs approval first.

If you need more help, we can speak with your provider about adding it to your plan.

Our service focuses on light, safe garden maintenance to help you stay independent at home. If you have major landscaping or tree-lopping needs, we can help advise on how to arrange that separately.

If it’s raining, too wet, or unsafe (slippery ground, storms, high winds), we’ll contact you to reschedule your visit for the next safe time- ideally within 3 days. 
Many clients are referred to us on monthly or fortnightly visits. We’ll work with you to decide what fits your garden, your home and your budget best.
We always aim to keep your worker consistent, and we’ll let you know if a temporary replacement is needed. Your regular worker won’t change permanently without your agreement.
We kindly ask you to secure your pets as it’s safer for the worker and the animal.
Please let us know straight away. We want you to feel safe and comfortable at home, and we’ll follow up promptly to fix any issues.

Call us on 0494 018 262 or email [email protected] and tell us your location, what you’d like help with and your preferred timing. We’ll check your region and get back to you with available times.

Of course.

We can text you the day before.
