Why a scout
A scout goes ahead and looks so nobody else has to. You tell us the clean you need and where, and we look for a cleaning business nearby to take it.
Businesses close by see the job without your number. Whoever takes it first gets your details and rings to talk it through.
What the cleaning business does
All of the clean itself: the quote, the day, the work and the invoice. Cleaner Scout doesn't employ cleaners, set the price or choose who comes through your door.
That's also why there are no prices here. A clean depends on the bedrooms and bathrooms, the extras and how long since the last one, so the business quotes once it knows the place.
The cleans you can send
- Regular house cleaning, weekly, fortnightly or as a one-off.
- An end of tenancy clean, also called a move out clean, before you hand back the keys.
- A deep or spring clean, for the jobs a regular clean skips.
- A move-in or pre-sale clean, before the boxes arrive or the buyers do.
- An after-builders clean, once the trades have packed up.
- A holiday home clean for a bach, or a crib in Otago and Southland.
- Oven, inside windows, carpet steam cleaning and wall marks go in as extras on any of them.
Where we work
Right across New Zealand, from Northland to Southland, and every clean is open in every region. If no business close to you takes a job, it's shown more widely after 48 hours. Find your region.
What Cleaner Scout isn't
Not a cleaning company. Nobody from Cleaner Scout will turn up to clean.
Not a directory. There's no list of businesses to scroll through or rank. You send the clean, and a local business takes it.
Not a government agency. Cleaner Scout is a private business, not part of Tenancy Services or any council. On moving out, our bond rules page sticks to Tenancy Services' own words.
Reviews, photos and facts
Reviews and photos here come only from cleaning businesses in the Cleaner Scout network that have given their OK. They're shown without names, faces, vans or addresses.
Rules and figures come from official sources, listed at the foot of each page. The editorial policy explains how we write and check them.
Sending a clean
There's no Cleaner Scout phone line. The form at Find a cleaner is how a clean reaches a local business, and how it works walks through each step.
