Balcony/ Patio area Cleaning
Lawn Moving
Concreting
If you are simply looking for more information about some of the areas we cover in our flat rate services, or what we can cover as part of our hourly rate service, feel free to check out some of the sections below:
When most people are asked why they book a cleaning service, the answer is something like, “I would prefer to pay somebody to do the chores I don’t want to do, so I can spend time on the things I do want to do”. This could not apply more to cleaning your oven! As one of the most used and abrasive appliances in your kitchen, ovens require some serious products and elbow grease to clean. Our oven cleaning services provide a full clean of the inside of your oven and for an extremely competitive rate.
What It Involves
Oven cleaning is a difficult process and normally takes in the region of 30-60 minutes. Some of the tasks our cleaning staff will perform are as follows:
• Spray inside of oven with oven cleaner (leave for 30-60 minutes)
• Scrub down all inside walls
• Scrub and clean all trays/grills of oven
• Vacuum/wipe/scrub hinges and remove any caked-on food/charcoal
• Full clean of inside/outside glass of oven
What It Does Not Involve
Please note that while we do provide a thorough inside oven cleaning service, we are not a specialist oven cleaning company and we will therefore not completely dissemble your oven like some companies. This does mean that our oven-cleans are generally a lot more reasonably priced and can lead to very similar results.
Please also note that for some older ovens there is a limit to how much they can be cleaned and they may never look as good as new, but we will give it our best shot!
How to book?
There are a few ways to book an Inside Oven clean with Hydrox Facility Management. You can book a flat rate clean and add the Inside Oven as an extra. You can also book an hourly rate and either add the oven as an extra, or request that it is done within the hourly service. If you choose the latter, please allow approx. 1 hour for the oven clean in the time booked.
Our fridge cleans are pretty straight forward – we take everything out of your fridge, clean the shelves, drawers, compartments and basically the whole interior, then we pop everything back inside.
Please note that if you have an exceptionally large fridge, then extras charges may apply.
Please also note that we do not clean freezers as these in general need to be defrosted before cleaned.
How to book?
There are a few ways to book an Inside Fridge clean with Maid to Clean. You can book a flat rate clean and add the Inside Fridge as an extra. You can also book an hourly rate and either add the fridge as an extra, or request that it is done within the hourly service. If you choose the latter, please allow approx. 30 mins for the fridge clean in the time booked.
All of our cleaning staff come fully equipped to clean your home, so they will have all cleaning equipment, products and supplies to get the job done! As standard our cleaning staff will carry their usual assortment of chemicals and cleaning products, but they will also have what we refer to as “Green Supplies”. This basically refers to products that contain only environmentally friendly ingredients which are designed to less toxic to humans, animals and also make less of an impact on the environment. We can use green supplies on all our different kinds of cleaning services, including regular cleans, spring cleans and move out cleans.
Will It Affect The Clean?
This is a difficult question to answer. Every cleaner is different, however we have had a lot of feedback from different cleaning teams over the years and there is no objective answer. Some people find that on certain areas (such as grout in bathrooms) there is nothing better than bleach. Others will say that items such as bicarbonate soda and vinegar can achieve the same result.
The fairest answer to this question would be to say that there are certain chemicals (such as bleach) which are extremely effective in cleaning certain areas of your home. There are green alternatives to these products that have the potential to clean to a close if not the same standard, however if there are areas of your home that absolutely require a one-off blitz, we would recommend cleaning with non-green supplies and maybe looking a green supplies after the first clean for maintenance.
Benefits of Green Supplies
The main benefit to using green supplies is the peace of mind that there will be no chance of any traces of toxic/harsh chemicals in your home. Although our cleaners are extremely thorough and would rarely leave traces of any toxic chemicals in your home, there is always a very small chance of a little bit of bleach being left somewhere (for example in the toilet). For households who have pets or very inquisitive little children, sometimes using green supplies for the clean can give people that extra peace of mind that there will be no chance of them coming in to contact with something that could cause skin irritation.
Green supplies area also great for people who have allergic/sensitive reactions to certain cleaning chemicals.
What are some examples of green supplies?
Some products that our teams use include: Earth Choice range, Koh range, Mountain Fresh range, Gumption, Green Action, Method, water/vinegar solution, eucalytpus and other natural oils and many more.
Some products that we strictly do not use include: bleach, strongly scented products, ammonia based products and any other product with strong/toxic chemicals.
A simple but often time consuming chore – cleaning the inside of cabinets in the house. We have a number of different options/prices available, as follows:
Clean inside kitchen cabinets (empty)
This option is for when you need the inside of all kitchen cabinets cleaned and they are currently already empty. Generally chosen when moving in or moving out of a property
Clean inside kitchen cabinets (full)
This option is for when your kitchen cabinets are full and will require manually emptying, cleaning the inside of the cabinets (not the objects inside them) and them the objects to be manually placed back in to the cabinets. This is considerably more time consuming and therefore is a little more pricey!
Clean inside all other drawers/cabinets
To keep things simple, we made one extra to cover cleaning inside of all the other drawers/cabinets in your home. This covers bathrooms, bedrooms and other fixed cabinets/drawers.
Please note that like all our extras, if you have an exceptionally large home and therefore considerably more cupboards/drawers than the average, we may be in touch before starting your service to discuss pricing/options.
Keep your lawn looking neat and healthy without the hassle. Hydrox Facility Management provides professional lawn mowing services to give your outdoor areas a fresh, well-maintained appearance.
Standard Lawn Mowing
Our experienced team arrives fully equipped with commercial-grade mowers and tools to deliver a clean and even cut for your lawn. Pricing is based on the average residential yard size, but larger properties or those with complex layouts may require a price review on the day.
Please ensure your yard is free from toys, outdoor furniture, or other obstacles prior to our visit. Our team does not move personal items, and areas blocked by objects may be left uncut.
Edge Trimming and Cleanup
Our lawn mowing service includes trimming around edges, fences, and garden beds for a polished finish. We also blow away grass clippings from pathways and driveways to keep your outdoor space tidy.
Accessible areas are those we can safely reach without obstruction from plants, landscaping features, or debris. Please note that we do not remove stubborn growth like embedded weeds or perform garden waste removal unless arranged as an additional service.
This service is designed for convenience, providing a fresh lawn appearance that complements your property. While we take care to minimize mess, some clippings or debris may be affected by wind or weather conditions.
Because lawns are exposed to the elements, results may vary depending on weather such as rain or extreme heat. For this reason, lawn mowing is not covered by our usual Satisfaction Guarantee.
For full property maintenance, including hedge trimming, garden clean-ups, and landscaping services, we recommend Hydrox Facility Management’s premium outdoor care packages. Services start from $350.
How to Book?
Booking lawn mowing with Hydrox Facility Management is easy. You can schedule a flat rate service and add lawn mowing as an extra, or book an hourly rate and request mowing within the allocated time. If you choose the latter, please allow approximately 1–2 hours for a standard yard, depending on its size and complexity.
Enjoy sparkling windows inside and out without the hassle. Our window cleaning services are the perfect way to add that extra shine to your home.
Inside Windows
All our cleaning teams come fully equipped to clean the glass panels within your home. Our pricing is based on the average sized home, but if your property has an exceptional amount of glass, we may review pricing on the day.
Please remove any fly screens or other obstacles before our visit, as our cleaners do not handle them due to the risk of damage. If fly screens or other objects are not removed, those windows will be left uncleaned.
Outside Windows
Our exterior window cleaning add on is a simple and affordable way to give your home that extra sparkle. We clean the glass of ground floor, easily accessible windows using the same professional products and techniques we use inside. A small step ladder may be used if it can be placed safely on a flat, stable surface.
Accessible means the window can be safely reached without obstructions such as plants, garden beds, furniture, or other items blocking access. Please note this service includes glass cleaning only. We do not remove fly screens or clean materials stuck to the glass, such as adhesives, paint, silicone, or concrete.
This service is designed for convenience, providing fresh, clear windows at the same time as your house clean. Our cleaners take care to prevent dirt from being carried inside. However, for exterior window only bookings, some debris may still be brought in depending on weather and surface conditions.
Because exterior glass is directly exposed to the elements, results can be affected by weather such as rain, wind, or dust. For this reason, exterior window cleaning is not covered by our usual Satisfaction Guarantee.
For full, premium external cleaning including multi storey or hard to reach windows as well as fly screen cleaning, we recommend Exterior Clean Melbourne, part of Maid to Clean, specialising in exterior cleaning. Services start from $350.
How to book?
There are a few ways to book Inside Windows with Maid to Clean. You can book a flat rate clean and add the windows as an extra. You can also book an hourly rate and either add the windows as an extra, or request that it is done within the hourly service. If you choose the latter, please allow approx. 1-2 hours for the windows within the time booked (depending on the size of your home).

Is your patio in need of some attention? Maid to Clean offers a “Patio Clean” service to restore your outdoor space to its former glory. Our patio cleaning includes a thorough sweep and mop of the patio floor, a general dusting and wiping of accessible surfaces, and a light tidying up of the area.
We consider a standard patio to be up to 10 square meters. If your patio is larger, additional charges will apply. For instance, a 25-square-meter patio would incur a charge for 2.5 patio cleans.
Please be aware that cleaning patio glass and railings is not part of the standard patio clean. However, if you have opted for the “Inside Windows” cleaning service, we can clean the exterior of patio glass doors/windows and the interior of patio railings. Due to health, safety, and access limitations, we cannot clean the exterior of patio railings, high windows, or use a step ladder on a patio.
How to Book?
You can book a Patio Clean with Maid to Clean in several ways. You can choose a flat rate clean and add the patio as an extra. Alternatively, you can book an hourly rate and either add the patio as an extra or request it be included within the hourly service. If you select the latter, please allocate approximately 30 minutes for the patio within your booked time.
If blinds are cleaned regularly, a simple light dust over can keep them clean. Lightly dusting of blinds is included in our Spring Cleans and End of Lease Cleans. This is limited to running a duster over the blinds to help remove small amounts of dust only.
If blinds are are left for a long period of time, blinds can gather a large amount of dust/dirt and can be very tricky to clean. If blinds have any sort of visible layer of dust on them, they will need a wet wipe to be fully cleaned and a light dusting will not suffice. If you would like your blinds to be carefully wet-wiped clean, please select this extra. We charge per blind and will individually clean every level of your blind.
How to book?
There are a few ways to book “Wet Wiping of Blinds” with Maid to Clean. You can book a flat rate clean and add the “Wet Wipe Blinds” extra. You can also book an hourly rate and either add the blinds as an extra, or request that it is done within the hourly service. If you choose the latter, please allow approx. 30 mins per blind in the time booked.
We can use a variety of methods to remove scuff marks and dirt from walls. In move-out cleans we will remove a couple of major scuff marks as part of the clean, but if a wall has lots of light-medium marks we will require you to book the wall in as an extra. We charge per wall and ask that you specify which walls you would like cleaned when selecting this extra.
Please Note: There is a limit sometimes to what can be achieved when trying to clean walls. If paint is old it can often come off even when cleaned with light pressure and making it impossible to clean. If walls are extremely dirty, we can not guarantee they will look like new.
How to book?
There are a few ways to book wall cleans with Maid to Clean. You can book a flat rate clean and add the “Clean Wall” as an extra. You can also book an hourly rate and either add the walls as an extra, or request that it is done within the hourly service. If you choose the latter, please allow approx. 15-30 mins per wall in the time booked.
The areas of your home that will most likely need cleaning the most are your bathrooms and kitchens. These are “wet” areas and are also the most commonly used. That is why our cleaning staff have become absolute pros at cleaning these areas and leaving them spotless.
What Do We Do?
What we clean in your bathroom very much depends on the service you book. If you book on our hourly rate service then we will clean as much of your bathroom as possible within the given time-frame. If you book one of our flat rate services, all your bathrooms will be cleaned in full and we will follow our standard checklists. If you would like a full check-list of what is included on our flat rate service, please get in touch.
How Long Does It Take
As with any type of cleaning, the amount of time required to clean a bathroom really depends on the size of the bathroom, what needs doing and the condition of the bathroom prior to cleaning. Below shows a rough breakdown of how we would estimate how long a bathroom clean can take:
| Bathrooms | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Time since last clean | Small | Medium | Large |
| 0–1 Week | 15 | 20 | 30 |
| 1–4 Weeks | 20 | 30 | 40 |
| 5–12 Weeks | 30 | 45 | 60 |
| 12 Weeks+ | 45+ | 60+ | 90+ |
Similar to the bathrooms, this is one of the “wet” areas of your home that is going to be used the most and will need the most attention. Our professional and experienced cleaners love these areas as it is here where we really make the difference and can produce that wow factor.
What Do We Do?
What we clean in your kitchen very much depends on the type of service you book. If you book on our hourly rate service then we can clean as much of your kitchen as possible within the time-allowed/chosen by you. We can be flexible in this time, so if you want special attention spent on areas like your stove, splashback or even the oven, we can allocate the time in exactly the way you choose.
If you book one of our flat rate services, we will provide a very thorough clean of your kitchen and complete all the general cleaning. If you would like more information on what is included on our flat rates, please head to the pricing page here.
