Top After Builders Cleaning related questions

In general, a house cleaning service’s cost depends on the tasks involved. On a per hour basis in Australia, regular cleaning is at $20 to $60; deep-cleaning at $60 to $90; spring cleaning at $70 to $400; window cleaning at $30 to $50; floor cleaning at $30 to $120; and upholstery cleaning at $50 to $200, among others.


If you’re looking to have your office tidied up, the regular cleaning rate starts at $30 to $37 per hour, while deep-cleaning is at $37 to $50 per hour.


Do welcome changes, though, as these are for the usual cleaning tasks. Cleaning up after construction, refurbishment, or refitting involves removing a lot of dust and getting into every nook and cranny of the house. Your location, room size, service inclusions, and additional requests can also influence the price.

Not necessarily. When booking a post-renovation cleaning service, your Tasker can bring the necessary cleaning supplies, equipment, and detergents with them so they can proceed with the task as soon as they arrive. However, if you prefer to have them use your own supplies, just let them know beforehand.

This activity isn’t exactly a breeze. It requires a lot of dusting, wiping, mopping, and vacuuming—plus, it would take a lot of your energy and time. If this doesn’t sound ideal for you, you can always book someone proficient in an after builders cleaning service on Airtasker through a few clicks.

Begin by preparing a cleaning solution, consisting of water and vinegar, diluted dishwashing liquid, or select glass cleaning chemicals. You will need to wipe each pane from top to bottom, and dry it with a microfibre cloth or newspaper. Depending on the dirtiness of the window, you may have to wash it twice or use an ammonia-based cleaner to remove tough stains. You will also need to clean the screens and wipe the window sills and frames.

Unless specified in your contract, you cannot expect builders to clean up after themselves. It’s usually up to the property’s owner to take care of the site once the builders leave. While you can choose to dust, vacuum, and polish the newly-built area, you can also hire a cleaning expert to handle this job for you.

It depends on how messy and big your place is. But since it's more than just a deep or maintenance clean, it would typically take

several hours to clean after a renovation. We recommend blocking half a day for this particular task, so your Tasker can make sure that every inch of your place is squeaky clean.


It can take over 12 hours to clean a 4-bedroom house.

With post-renovation cleaning services, you need to know if your potential cleaners have the appropriate supplies and equipment required to tidy up specific renovated properties. Also, take note of their scheduling availability and flexibility, as it’s ideal to have them on stand-by during renovation day. You can also scroll through reviews and ratings, so you can better gauge if they suit your needs.

In the platform, you can connect with workers specifically for move-in cleaningend-of-lease cleaning, and even housekeeping, among others.

What do after builders cleaning services include?

No need to worry about removing remaining traces on your own—booking a post-renovation cleaning service can protect the quality of your property after a major change. The after builders cleaning process includes dusting, vacuuming, and polishing your space to get rid of unnecessary elements. This also means cleaning all fixtures, switches, sockets, surfaces, woodwork, and hard floors.


Enjoy the results of your newly-renovated home or workplace by exploring these offerings:


Dusting ducts, vents, and grates 

The process of post-renovation cleaning starts with removing all large pieces of debris, renovation material leftovers, and tools left by the workers. Renovation cleaners usually do this after installing the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems. The most vital part is cleaning the grates and vents.


Dust and debris get suspended in the air and easily permeate your vents. It’s important for your Tasker to remove the vent covers from the walls and ceilings, clean each one using soap and warm water, and dry them thoroughly. Better yet, the specialist can replace any exposed air filters with fresh ones before changing the covers, as breathing unfiltered air can lead to allergies and respiratory issues.


Cleaning rooms, fixtures, and furniture

Your Tasker’s next step is to deep-clean your kitchen, bathroom, and other nearby areas affected by the renovation. 


For windows, your hired expert will wipe down and polish the insides—including the window sills and frames—and wash and dry the screens. 


They can also remove the dust and dirt from your doors, plus their frames and handles. A lot of unnecessary elements get trapped in the skirting board as well, so the specialist is expected to freshen up your walls and other surfaces. Mouldings are also a no-no.


Your hired worker can also clean the affected fixtures and appliances like lights, switches, sinks, toilets, stoves, and backsplashes. Dust and dirt can travel into your furniture like cabinets and closets, so it’s a must to take out everything stored inside and wipe the interior shelves, with extra attention given to the hard-to-reach corners.


Vacuuming upholstery and floors

Upholstered furniture can be a lair of dirty particles. Allowing dust to settle after a major revamp can lead to ugly and damaging results. When they are left between the fabric fibres, dust loosens the weave and leads to wear and tear of the material. Your Tasker can vacuum all soft surfaces, each furniture cushion, as well as underlying frames.


Tidying up the floor is the final step in an after builders cleaning session, as this is where the dirt and debris massively wind up. This involves cleaning paint spots, plaster, footprints, and other stains. They can sweep away large chunks of building materials, screws or bits of sawdust before running the vacuum.


Give your Tasker a heads up on what kind of floor you have, as this is important in their process. You can also request them to deep-clean your stairs and hallways, and even polish your tiles.

Deep clean of house after renovation

$75

Alexandria NSW, Australia

21st Mar 2026

We need deep cleaning performed for 2 to 3 hours in our house ($75 per hour, or more for the right person). It’s not an end of lease clean, but Airtasker makes us choose the option of regular vs end of lease clean. We recently had a bathroom renovation done and there is construction dust throughout the house. Also need some cupboards cleaned out - due to being closed up for a while some items have mould on them. We live in a small house, and not everywhere needs to be cleaned, but the parts that need cleaning are quite dirty (the dirt is superficial and easily removed). We need good attention to detail - eg cleaning carefully in corners and areas not readily visible, including skirting boards, fly screens and under furniture (no heavy lifting required, just reaching under). We need the dusting done with a damp cloth and care taken to actually remove the dust, not just spread it into the air. We prefer the cleaning done with simple hot water and detergent rather than harsh chemicals due to allergies. We’d also like the windows and screens cleaned (just those easily reached). We will supply a P3 mask and parking voucher. Because the house is small, there is a lot of clutter as items have been packed into certain rooms. You will need to throroughly clean an area, then clean items, then move and organise them into the clean area, then clean the rest of the area where the items have been moved from. Someone will be home to provide instructions as you go. It doesn’t matter if everything is not completed, we just want a good job done on what is cleaned in the 2-3 hours. Type of clean: End of lease Number of bedrooms: 2 Number of bathrooms: 1 Equipment and supplies: I can provide

Excellent cleaner. Great eye for detail. Clear communication. Very good at her job.

Date: Tuesday please 🙏 We have cardboard on the floors to protect the floorboards. These will need to be removed and placed in a pile in the backyard. Scope of work (internal only): • Remove renovation dust, paint from all internal surfaces • Wipe down walls, windows, skirting boards, doors, light switches & power points • Clean internal windows, sills & tracks • Kitchen surfaces and cupboards (wipe down) • Bathroom surfaces (dust/wipe, not heavy scrubbing) • Vacuum and mop all floors Requirements: • Bring your own cleaning equipment and products • Experience with post-renovation or dust cleans preferred • Team of two ideal to ensure a quick turnaround Please include your availability for Sunday, team size, and your quote. Thanks 🙏

Chamath came with a team of three and conducted a builders clean on our home. They worked fast, however the overall clean was average. I think the team would be good as surface cleaners, rather than builders or vacate cleans. Bathroom tiles weren’t scrubbed and I had to ask them to redo areas of the house. We will need to clean bathrooms ourselves and go over all the things they missed, which is disappointing. Overall, average result. Thanks

Assistance tidying up and cleaning an old house after a renovation

$400

Lane Cove NSW, Australia

16th Dec 2025

I am looking for someone to help me do a big tidy and clean of an old house that has just been renovated. We need to move a lot of debris and rubbish into a pile in the front yard. We then need to clean the house – vacuum and mop floors, wipe down surfaces, sweep around the place. I would also appreciate help moving some furniture, but that is not essential – the main thing is tidying and cleaning. The job does need to be done in the morning of Thursday 18th. Apologies for the short notice. I’ve only just been given this task myself by a family member. I estimate there is 6 hours work. Budget is reflective of this. I need someone who has their own cleaning clear please, including vacuum cleaner.

Ngl the team started a bit later than the agreed time, but once the work was underway it was high quality and happened very fast. The team were also delightful to deal with. Would hire them again.
