Can AI book bond cleans around the inspection date?

Yes. Anna takes the vacate and inspection dates on the first call and books the clean where you’ve set that up, or sends it to you to slot in.

Will it quote office cleaning contracts?

No. SAM writes the quote as you talk it through, and Emily follows up quotes you’ve sent. The rate per hour or per square metre is your call.

What happens when a re-clean request comes in?

It’s taken straight away and the customer is asked for the agent’s report. Whether it’s covered by your guarantee is up to you.

Does it do my payroll or TPAR?

No. Award rates, payroll, TPAR and contractor decisions stay with you and your accountant. Carol chases what customers owe you, and Xero, QuickBooks and MYOB connections are rolling out.

What’s the cost for a small cleaning business?

Starter is Anna alone for $750 a quarter + GST. Growth is 5 AI staff for $950 a quarter, or about $73 a week, with no lock-in contract.

AI staff for cleaning businesses: every call answered, every quote and invoice followed up

Of the trades we cover, cleaning has the highest share of solo operators: 71.5% of Australia’s 45,217 cleaning businesses have no employees (ABS, June 2025). Bond cleans run to an inspection date, regulars swap days, and the phone rings while you’re scrubbing a shower recess.

What your customers ring about

Bond cleans run on someone else’s deadline: the final inspection after the tenant moves out. One large Sydney provider needs re-clean requests within 72 hours, with the agent’s report attached, so a slow callback can push a customer outside the window. Moving peaks in January, then December and November (Airtasker), and that’s when the phone runs hottest.

End-of-lease and bond cleans booked to the vacate date
Re-cleans after the agent’s inspection flags something
Regular weekly or fortnightly house cleans
Cancellations, swaps and “can you come Thursday instead?”
Office and commercial cleaning quotes
Carpet cleaning, often added to a bond clean
Are your cleaners police-checked and insured?

What your AI staff do for a cleaning business

Bond clean calls taken with the dates
Calls and texts get answered 24/7 by Anna. She takes the address, the number of bedrooms, whether carpets need doing, and the vacate and inspection dates, then books it or sends it to you.
How this job works
Regular cleans confirmed, gaps refilled
A confirmation and a reminder text go out the day before each clean. When a regular cancels, the follow-up works to get them back in the diary instead of leaving a hole in your week.
How this job works
Office cleaning quotes, written and chased
Talk through the floor area, how often and what’s included, and SAM writes the quote. Emily follows up the office quotes you’ve sent. The rate and contract terms are yours.
How this job works
Re-clean requests handled fast
On the Scale plan, Zoe answers existing customers. When a tenant rings to say the agent flagged the oven, she asks them to send the inspection report and passes it to you so the re-clean can be booked inside your window.
How this job works
Unpaid cleans chased
Carol sends the payment reminders you’ve approved, chases deposits on bigger jobs and checks what’s been paid. Disputes and payment plans go back to you.
How this job works
A call after the bond comes back
Jenny rings after the job to check how it went and asks for a Google review. hipages research reported by Home Beautiful found 77% of homeowners want recommendations from others before hiring a cleaner or tradesperson (2023).

What one job is worth: typical cleaning prices in Australia

Job	Typical price	Source
3-bedroom house clean	$150 to $280	Airtasker, 2026
Regular 3-bedroom clean	$120 to $220 a visit	Airtasker, 2026
End-of-lease clean	$280 to $700	Airtasker, 2026
End-of-lease clean, average job	About $490	ServiceSeeking, 2026
Carpet cleaning	$120 to $300 a job (median $275)	Airtasker, 2026

These are the ranges each cost guide reports. Prices vary with the size of the home, its condition and location. Indicative only.

A fortnightly 3-bedroom clean at $120, the low end of Airtasker’s range for regulars, is 26 visits and $3,120 a year. That one regular client is more than nine months of the Growth plan ($317 a month).

Under the Cleaning Services Award 2020, rates from 1 July 2026 start at $27.08 an hour for Level 1, with Saturday at 150%, Sunday at 200% and public holidays at 250% (Fair Work). Cleaning businesses that pay contractors to clean must lodge a Taxable Payments Annual Report by 28 August each year (ATO).

Moving peaks and repeat work for cleaning businesses

End-of-lease work follows the moving calendar. Airtasker names January the busiest month to move, then December and November, with March busy too as the peak month for property sales. Regular cleans are the steady base, Anna takes the overflow in moving season, and on Scale, Mia rings lapsed regulars to win them back.

January: 13 to 16% of moves in most states (Budget Direct, 2024)
October to March: about 66% of Muval’s move requests, with 16 December and 23 January the busiest days (2022)
April, May, August and September: quieter moving months, a good time to fill regular slots
At one large operator, mostly in Sydney, 81.3% of visits carried a recurring label and 46.7% were fortnightly (Simply Maid booking data)
