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!
Your weekend shouldn't disappear into scrubbing a two-bedroom flat. Plenty of Carlton North locals tell us the same thing: work all week, then spend Saturday cleaning while Rathdowne Village carries on without them. There's a better way to spend that day.
Carlton North is a mix of Victorian terraces and compact apartments around Rathdowne Street and Nicholson Street, with most bookings here around two bedrooms. Smaller homes still take real work — ornate cornices catch dust, older bathrooms need proper attention, and shared entries mean access has to be arranged right. Our cleaners handle key collection, building fobs, and strata quirks without fuss, so you don't need to be home.
We've been cleaning Carlton North homes since 2018, with 34 cleans completed here between 2018 and 2021. One Carlton North customer put it simply: "Spectacular effort, wouldn't hesitate to keep using this team" (May 2019). Today, 29 active vetted cleaners cover the suburb, and the nearest is about 12 minutes away — the same team also serves Princes Hill, Parkville, Fitzroy North, and Carlton.
Then comes the good part: walking back in, dropping your bag, and exhaling. A huge weight lifted off your shoulders — most people tell us they wish they'd done it sooner.
Carlton North is one of Melbourne's most intact Victorian streetscapes — leafy avenues of terraces and small apartment blocks in postcode 3054, home to students, academics, and long-time inner-city locals a short tram ride from the CBD.

“On time and good clean. Maybe a few places weren’t dusted because it couldn’t be reached. But overall the clean was good.”

Spectacular effort, wouldn't hesitate to keep using this team
Thorough and efficient. I would definitely book them again.
Sokki and her team did such an excellent job despite the house being left in quite a mess. Big apologies for not tidying up more and thanks so much for making order out of chaos. The house looked fantastic afterwards!
Our cleaner was fantastic! There was a mixup with the key we left and she called immediately, tried everything possible to resolve it and then rescheduled us straight away for the next day. The clean was perfect, she focused on exactly what we asked for and the place was spotless. We’re so grateful for how she handled everything and the quality of the service, please pass on our thanks again!!
So kind and lovely, my flat looks great!
Sokki's team did an amazing job despite our house being in total chaos due to getting our floors fixed. We really appreciate their patience and understanding in doing a very different clean from usual.
