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.
What types of cleaning tasks do you offer?
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.
What if I need to change my appointment?
Just call or message our office. We’re flexible and will help find a new time that suits you.
What if I forget what day my clean is on?
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.
How long will the cleaner be here?
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.
Why doesn’t the cleaner stay for the full 2 hours?
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.
Do I need to be home during the clean?
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.
Will I get the same cleaner each time?
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)
Do I need to pay anything on the day?
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.
What areas will the cleaner clean?
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.
Do you offer deep cleaning?
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.
Will the cleaner do my second (or third) bedroom, or bathrooms?
Can your cleaners help with tasks like bed-making or hanging out washing?
Can the cleaner help me with showering, dressing, or personal care?
No.
Personal care must be arranged separately through your provider and completed by a trained personal care worker.
Can I ask the cleaner to do extra rooms or a deep clean?
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.
Can the cleaner use my vacuum or cleaning sprays?
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
What happens if I forget to put the dog or cat away?
If it happens occasionally — that’s okay.
But for everyone’s safety, pets do need to be in another room during the clean.

What lawn and garden tasks do you provide?

How long will the gardener be here?
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.
Can you help make my outdoor area safer?
Do I need to be home during the visit?
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.
Will you bring all your own equipment?
What if I forget the day of my visit?
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.
Can I ask for extra garden work during my visit?
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.
What if my yard has major landscaping or big trees?
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.

Do I need to be home during the service?

If your service time changes, we’ll talk you through it.
Can you remind me when my worker is coming?
