Pick a time, we match you with a vetted local cleaner, and you come back to an apartment that finally feels like yours.
See your exact price upfront and pick a time that suits — no phone calls, no callbacks, no waiting. You get your evening back before the clean even starts.
We pair you with a police-checked professional who knows inner-city apartments — intercoms, lifts and building access included — so the day runs smoothly without you lifting a finger.
Grab a coffee on Lygon Street, finish your day, then walk into a beautifully clean home. Customers tell us it feels like a huge weight lifted off their shoulders.
Our promise to Carlton customers
If anything isn't right, tell us within 48 hours and we'll come back and re-clean it — free, no questions asked. You can't lose. That's the whole point.
Care & Cover™
Every Carlton clean is backed by $10M in public liability insurance and $2,000 damage protection. Every cleaner is police-checked and identity-verified before they ever step into your building. Letting someone into your home is a big deal — we treat it that way.

Karan was assigned to clean my apartment. He was on time and did a fantastic job. I would definitely recommend Simply Maid and Karan for any cleaning service.
Alejandro is lovely. He doesn't just clean, but tidy up all my stray piles of stuff as well. And is very tolerant with my dog, who seems to hold a grudge against his feather duster.
Alejandro did an outstanding job. Would highly recommend him if you are in the Melbourne area.
The team did a great job for a standard inspection clean - punctual, friendly, thorough and value for money. Will book again soon.
Sokki and Jon did a fantastic job cleaning my place today, would use them again
They cleaned my house really well! Very polite, efficient.
Detailed. Easy to use. very professional
A very thorough clean. Very friendly and accommodating. Good value.
Fantastic service. I had a deep clean for a bit of a spring refresh and it was above and beyond, more thorough than I expected and markedly better than previous cleans I’ve booked from other Melbourne companies. The team was super friendly and professional. My apartment looks great—would definitely recommend and I’ll book them again.
Raj and his partner did an amazing job! Spotless clean apartment with a large balcony. Fully arrived on time (10 minutes early!). Easy and trustworthy. Great communication. Highly recommend!
Picture walking up your stairwell on Rathdowne or Lygon, opening the door, and the whole apartment just feels lighter. Floors done, kitchen gleaming, bathroom fresh. That's the moment 51 Carlton bookings have been about — and it's why customers tell us "I wish I'd done it sooner."
Carlton homes average about 2.2 bedrooms — mostly units and apartments, from student flats near the University of Melbourne to renovated terraces off Drummond Street. Compact spaces need real attention to detail: grout, rangehoods, balcony doors, the corners a quick wipe misses. Our cleaning professionals handle building access, intercoms and lifts without fuss, and end of lease cleans for renters moving on.
We've been cleaning Carlton homes since 2018 — 51 completed cleans between 2018 and 2024, most of them standard cleans, plus 11 deep cleans and move in/out jobs. One Carlton customer put it simply: "Paul was absolutely lovely! And he did an amazing job with cleaning my apartment. Highly recommend :)" Today, 29 vetted cleaners cover the 3053 postcode, with the nearest about 8 minutes away.
Book in 60 seconds, then get on with your day. Come home, exhale, and enjoy a place that finally feels like yours again.
Carlton is Melbourne's Italian heart — Lygon Street cafes, Victorian terraces, and apartment towers filled with students, academics and young professionals who'd rather spend Saturday at the Nicholson Street markets than scrubbing a bathroom.

Paul was absolutely lovely! And he did an amazing job with cleaning my apartment. Highly recommend :)
The team was very thorough and friendly! I'd gladly have them back again. Please let the next team know that I don't know much about the local parking situation as I don't have a car, but I'm happy to pay for parking for them. Cheers!
I’m very happy. They turned up on time, where very nice and did a great job. Thank you very much.
Spectacular effort, wouldn't hesitate to keep using this team
The team were very fast and thorough. I'd would love the same team to come back again.
