About Cleaner Scout

How Cleaner Scout works

We find a local cleaning business for your clean. You give us the clean, the size of the place and a postcode, a local business takes the job, and they ring you to go through it and quote.

What kind of clean do you need?

What kind of clean?

We find the cleaner. The cleaning business quotes, cleans and invoices you directly.

From the form to the phone call

  1. Tell us the clean

    Pick the kind of clean, the number of bedrooms, any extras and your postcode. Then a first name, a mobile and a tick to say we can pass the job on.

  2. A local business takes it

    Cleaning businesses near you see the clean, the size of the place and the suburb. The first one to take it gets your details.

  3. They ring you

    The business goes through the job, quotes and settles a day with you. From then on you deal with them directly.

Who does the cleaning

A local cleaning business does. Each one runs itself: it quotes, cleans and invoices you. We don't employ cleaners, pick who turns up or set the price, and Cleaner Scout never cleans.

What we ask, and why

The kind of clean and the size of the place let the business plan the time. Your postcode is how nearby businesses see it. Your mobile is how they reach you; email is optional. There's no question about when you need it done: tell them on the call.

Where we work

Everywhere in New Zealand, and every clean is open in every region. If nobody nearby takes the job, it's shown more widely after 48 hours. There are no prices on this site, because every place is different and a business quotes once it understands the job.

Worth checking with any business

  • An NZBN you can look up on the NZBN Register, with the name matching the quote.
  • A current public liability certificate.
  • What the clean covers, and any re-clean terms, in writing.

Who gets my phone number?

The cleaning business that takes your job. The tick box says it plainly: you agree to Cleaner Scout sharing your details with one local cleaning business so they can contact you about this job.

Do I have to go ahead once they quote?
