Criteria worth weighing — for any cleaner
The list below is the consumer-side rubric. Each per-service guide expands these with method and red-flag detail specific to the job.
Service area fit
Ask whether the cleaner regularly works in your suburb, not just the wider region. Local familiarity often shows up in availability and on-site experience.
Method match
For carpets in particular, hot-water extraction and dry compound suit different fibres. Ask which method the cleaner uses and how they decide between them on different carpets.
Insurance posture
Ask to see a current public-liability insurance certificate. Reputable operators share it without hesitation, and the answer to "if you damage my carpet, who covers the repair?" should be clear.
Pricing transparency
Avoid quotes with no ceiling ("from $X"). Ask: "what is the most this could cost given my room sizes or job?" and get the ceiling in writing.
Reviews and references
Look at the cleaner's own Google profile and ProductReview listing. Read response patterns to negative reviews, and ask for two recent local references you can call.
Per-service guides (publishing)
Wave 1 ships the carpet-cleaner and end-of-lease-cleaner guides; further services follow. Until each guide lands, the criteria above cover the universal questions.
