When You Need a Deep Clean

A deep clean is the right choice when your home needs more than routine maintenance.

Before Regular Cleaning

Get your home to a baseline so your regular cleaner can maintain it properly from day one.

Seasonal Reset

Spring cleaning, end of winter, or before the holidays. Stop grime from building up.

After Renovations

Construction dust gets everywhere. We remove fine dust and residue from every surface.

Moving In or Out

Get the house cleaned properly before settling in, or after the removalists leave.

When It's Been a While

No judgement. We bring your home back to a standard you can maintain going forward.

See What a Real Deep Clean Looks Like

Drag the slider on each photo to see the difference a proper deep clean makes — the built-up grease, scale and grime that everyday cleaning never touches. We're the team Melbourne homes call when the kitchen has been ignored, the bathroom has lost its shine, or the floors haven't been reset in years.

Why Melbourne Homeowners Choose Excel

6–8 Hour Thorough Clean

A deep clean isn’t a quick visit. Our cleaners spend a full day working room by room, reaching every surface a regular clean doesn’t touch.

Inside Appliances Included

Oven, range hood, fridge interior — we clean inside the appliances that collect grease and grime over time. Most regular cleans skip these.

Insured & Police-Checked

Every cleaner holds public liability insurance and a current national police check. Your home is in safe hands.

Same Cleaner Option

If you switch to regular cleaning after your deep clean, we’ll assign you the same cleaner who already knows your home.

No Contracts or Lock-In

Book a one-off deep clean whenever you need it. No ongoing commitment required. Many clients book seasonally — once or twice a year.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our deep cleaning service. Can't find the answer? Get in touch.

A deep clean in Melbourne typically costs between $300 and $700+ depending on the size of the home and how much work is needed. A 2-bedroom apartment usually falls between $300 and $450, while a 3-bedroom house ranges from $450 to $600. The price depends on the current condition of the home — properties that haven’t been cleaned professionally will need more time.

A regular clean maintains your home — wiping surfaces, vacuuming, mopping, and keeping bathrooms and kitchens tidy. A deep clean goes further. It includes inside appliances (oven, fridge), inside cupboards and wardrobes, behind and under furniture, grout scrubbing, cobweb removal, and detailed cleaning of areas that aren’t part of a standard routine.

A deep clean typically takes 6 to 8 hours for a standard 3-bedroom home. Smaller apartments may take 4 to 5 hours. Larger homes or properties that haven’t been professionally cleaned in a long time can take a full day (8–10 hours).

Most homes benefit from a deep clean once or twice a year — typically before summer and before winter. If you have regular cleaning in between, twice a year is enough. If you don’t have regular cleaning, every 3 to 4 months will keep things from building up.

Yes, and many clients do. Once your home is deep cleaned, regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning keeps it at that standard. We can assign you the same cleaner who did your deep clean so they already know your home.

Yes. We bring professional-grade products and all equipment, including heavy-duty degreasers for oven and range hood cleaning. If you prefer eco-friendly products or need to avoid certain chemicals (pets, allergies, children), let us know and we’ll use alternatives.

No. You can give us a key or access code. The clean takes most of the day, so many clients prefer to be out. We’ll lock up when we’re done and let you know once the clean is finished.

We cover over 385 suburbs across Melbourne — inner-city, eastern, northern, western, and south-eastern areas. Check our service areas page for the full list, or contact us to confirm your suburb.
