Home & Office Hourly Cleaning Services
At RoseGold Cleaning & Maintenance, we offer flexible hourly-based cleaning services, allowing you to book the exact time needed and prioritize specific areas in your home or office. The tasks completed depend on the total hours booked. For instance, a 2-hour booking may not suffice for a comprehensive cleaning of a 4-bedroom home.
Call us today to discuss how many hours you need.
Or chat with "Ella," our AI receptionist, who is available 24/7 to assist you.

❗Note: To ensure that you receive a thorough clean and our 100% bond-back guarantee, we don't offer hourly options for end-of-lease or move-in/move-out services. These cleans are done at a set rate so our team can take the time needed to get every detail right.
This is a general guide only. Actual cleaning times may vary based on the property's condition, specific requirements, and any additional services requested. You may need more or less hours.
One Job, One Cleaner
The estimated cleaning times in this guide, as well as the hours you select on our booking form, are calculated based on labour hours for a single cleaner.
To ensure consistency, reliability, and accountability, we typically assign one cleaner per job rather than teams. However, for extensive tasks—such as a Deep Clean exceeding 8 hours—we may assign a team of cleaners to complete the job efficiently.
For example, if you book 2 hours or see an estimate for 2 hours in this guide, it means one cleaner will work for 2 hours to clean your home.
If you're transitioning from a fixed-price cleaning service to our hourly-rate model, consider the overall cost for a comparable amount of cleaning. For instance, if you previously paid twice as much for a fixed-price service that included two cleaners, booking only 2 hours with us would result in half the work done. To achieve the same level of cleaning, you may need to book 4 hours instead of 2.
This ensures clear expectations and a fair comparison when switching to our flexible hourly-rate cleaning service.
Why Do Extra Bedrooms Add More Cleaning Time?
The additional cleaning time isn't just about the extra bedroom itself. Homes with more bedrooms typically have larger overall spaces, including bigger kitchens, extra living areas, and additional bathrooms—all of which contribute to the total cleaning time.
For example, a 6-bedroom home isn't just three bedrooms larger than a 3-bedroom home; it's usually significantly bigger overall, requiring more time and effort to clean all areas thoroughly.
Why Does a House with More Bathrooms Require More Cleaning Time?
Bathrooms are among the most labor-intensive areas to clean due to their multiple surfaces, moisture buildup, and high hygiene standards. Unlike other rooms, bathrooms require deep scrubbing, disinfecting, and detailed attention to areas like tiles, grout, glass, sinks, toilets, showers, and tubs.
When a home has more bathrooms, it naturally increases the cleaning workload. Each additional bathroom can add 30 minutes to 1 hour to the overall cleaning time, while even a powder room (toilet-only space) can require 15-20 minutes.
Additionally, homes with multiple bathrooms tend to be larger overall, often featuring extra living spaces, larger kitchens, and additional cleaning tasks, all of which contribute to the total time required for a thorough clean.
By allowing more time, we ensure every bathroom is meticulously cleaned, sanitized, and left sparkling for a fresh and hygienic home.
Other Factors Affecting Cleaning Time Needed
Beyond the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, several other factors influence the total cleaning time required for a home. These include:
Overall Home Size & Layout – Larger homes or those with multiple levels take more time due to increased surface areas, staircases, and additional rooms.
Level of Cleanliness – Homes that haven't been cleaned regularly may require extra time for deep scrubbing, stain removal, and tackling built-up grime or dust.
Type of Cleaning Service – Deep cleaning, end-of-lease cleaning, or post-construction cleaning takes significantly longer than a regular maintenance clean due to the level of detail involved.
Flooring & Surface Types – Hardwood, tile, and carpeted floors require different cleaning methods, while stainless steel, glass, and stone surfaces may need extra polishing and care.
Pets in the Home – Homes with pets may require additional vacuuming, fur removal, odor elimination, and allergen control, adding to the overall cleaning time.
Clutter & Personal Items – Excessive clutter, laundry, or items left out can slow down cleaning as surfaces need to be cleared before they can be wiped, dusted, or vacuumed.
Kitchen & Appliance Cleaning – Grease buildup in kitchens, ovens, and rangehoods can take extra time to remove. If inside appliances or cabinets need cleaning, this adds to the total cleaning duration.
Additional Requests & Custom Cleaning – Tasks like washing walls, cleaning inside windows, or detailed grout scrubbing require extra time and effort beyond a standard clean.
Booking Less Than Recommended Hours
A Guide to Managing Reduced Hour Bookings
Some customers book additional time to ensure everything is completed, while others intentionally book fewer hours than recommended due to budget constraints or a preference for partial cleaning. If you book less time than we advise for your home size, you can still enjoy an excellent experience by setting realistic expectations and communicating effectively.
What May Occur When Booking Reduced Hours
Scenario A: The cleaner may attempt to rush through tasks
Even without requesting a complete home clean, you might provide an extensive list of high-priority tasks. If your cleaner believes you expect everything completed, they may work hastily, potentially missing details or abbreviating larger tasks, assuming this approach will satisfy you the best. This scenario may leave you feeling the quality was subpar, when actually there simply wasn't adequate time for thoroughness.
Scenario B: The cleaner maintains quality but completes fewer tasks
By maintaining a steady, quality-focused pace, they give proper attention to each task but inevitably leave some areas unaddressed. While you may intellectually understand that cleaning is time-based and not everything fits within limited hours, you might still feel disappointed or perceive the cleaner as slow. However, in reality, quality cleaning is inherently time-consuming, and accomplishing additional tasks wasn't feasible within the allocated time.
Maximizing Value from Reduced Hour Bookings
When booking less time than recommended, success depends on adjusted expectations and collaborative planning with your cleaner.
Communicate time constraints upfront
Let your cleaner know upfront that you’ve booked less time than usual and don’t expect a full-house clean or for every item on your priority list to be completed. This reassurance helps your cleaner avoid rushing under false assumptions.
Consult your cleaner on feasibility
Provide your task list, but clarify that not everything may be achievable. Rather than assuming it's all possible, ask: "We have X hours today. From this list, what can we realistically accomplish?" Your cleaner's hands-on experience enables them to advise what's genuinely achievable within your booking time.
Prioritize collaboratively
After hearing your cleaner's assessment, jointly determine which areas or tasks matter most to you. This ensures you’ll both be on the same page about what can be accomplished.
Maintain flexibility
If your cleaner indicates certain tasks won't fit into the session, consider deferring them to your next appointment. Rotating focus areas across multiple visits helps you manage everything eventually without requiring longer bookings each time.
Eliminate pressure
Clearly communicate that you won't be disappointed if everything isn't finished. A relaxed, realistic approach typically produces better overall quality on the tasks that do get done.
Why We Mention This During Booking
● We may inform you if your selected hours fall below our recommendation for your home size. This isn't a sales tactic to pressure you into booking more—it's about ensuring you understand what can and cannot be accomplished. We want you to have a positive experience, which starts with aligning your budget, priorities, and the actual time required for quality cleaning.
● Booking fewer than recommended hours works perfectly well if you only need partial cleaning or prefer focusing on key areas at a time. The secret is honest communication. A brief conversation about what's realistically achievable prevents frustration for both you and your cleaner. When booking sufficient hours for thorough cleaning, no special considerations are needed—this guidance is solely for those choosing reduced hour bookings. As long as expectations are clear, booking fewer hours can still deliver satisfying, high-quality results without anyone feeling rushed or shortchanged.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How does your hourly rate cleaning service work?
Our hourly rate cleaning service allows you to book a cleaner for a set number of hours. You can prioritize tasks based on your needs, and our cleaner will complete as much as possible within the booked time frame.
What is the minimum number of hours I can book?
The minimum booking requirement is 2 hours to ensure sufficient time for a quality cleaning service.
What can be cleaned within a set number of hours?
The scope of cleaning depends on the property's size and condition. For example, a 2-hour clean typically covers a general tidy-up of a small apartment, while a 4-hour booking may include more thorough cleaning of multiple rooms.
Can I specify which tasks I want to be completed?
Yes! You can provide a priority list of tasks, and our cleaner will work through them within the booked time.
What happens if more time is needed?
If additional time is required, you can request an extension (subject to availability) or book another session at a later date.
Will your cleaners bring cleaning products and equipment?
Yes! Our professional cleaners arrive fully equipped with everything needed for exceptional results, including:
✅ All cleaning products (eco-friendly and traditional options)

✅ Commercial equipment and specialized tools
✅ Everything needed for a thorough, professional clean

Can I book more than one cleaner for an hourly rate service?
Yes, you can request multiple cleaners if needed, which allows for faster completion of tasks. The total cost will reflect the number of cleaners booked.
Is there a fixed price for specific cleaning tasks?
No, hourly rate cleaning is flexible, and pricing is based on time rather than specific tasks. This allows you to tailor the service to your priorities.
Do I need to be home during the cleaning?
You don't need to be present, but access arrangements should be made in advance. Many clients provide entry codes or leave keys in a secure location.
What is your cancellation policy?
We require at least 24 hours' notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Late cancellations may incur a fee.
Do you offer a guarantee on hourly rate services?
Since hourly cleaning is time-based rather than task-based, we cannot guarantee all tasks will be completed within the booked time. However, we always aim for high-quality service and efficiency.
How do I book an hourly rate cleaning service?
You can book by calling us, chatting with our AI receptionist Ella, or using our online booking form. Let us know the number of hours required and your cleaning priorities.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept payments via credit/debit cards, bank transfers, and invoices for recurring clients.
Can I transition from a fixed-price cleaning service to hourly rate cleaning?
Yes! If you previously had a fixed-price service with multiple cleaners, you may need to adjust your booking hours to match the same level of cleaning when switching to hourly rates.
What about eco-friendly products?
Our standard cleaning products are eco-friendly, non-toxic, and safe for children and pets. They're also highly effective—no compromise on cleaning power!
If you have specific product preferences or sensitivities, let us know and we'll accommodate.
What equipment do you use?
We invest in:
● Commercial HEPA vacuum cleaners with powerful, consistent suction
● Dual-tank mop systems that keep clean and dirty water separate
● Microfiber technology that removes 99% of bacteria
● Hospital-grade products that truly disinfect
