Question 1

Is Clean Fridays an agency?

Accepted Answer

No. We're a booking platform for independent cleaners with your own ABN — not an agency that takes a cut of your wages or charges a monthly fee to receive work. It's free to register and accept job offers. When you complete a paid job, we retain a flat $15 platform fee (plus card processing). Accept within 2 hours of being offered a job and that fee drops to $10 on that booking.

Question 2

Do I need an ABN?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Clean Fridays is a professional platform for ABN-registered cleaners only. This ensures quality, professionalism, and proper business practices. If you don't have an ABN yet, you can apply for one for free at abn.business.gov.au.

Question 3

How do I get paid?

Accepted Answer

Payments are processed securely through Stripe and deposited directly into your bank account within 2-5 business days after job completion. You'll have full visibility of all your earnings through your dashboard.

Question 4

Can I choose my own hours?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! One of the biggest benefits of joining Clean Fridays is flexibility. You decide when you want to work, which days you're available, and how far you're willing to travel. You're in complete control of your schedule.

Question 5

What areas can I service?

Accepted Answer

We operate across all major Australian cities including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra, Hobart, and Darwin. You can set your preferred service radius (5-50km) from your location.

Question 6

What equipment do I need?

Accepted Answer

You'll need professional-grade cleaning equipment and supplies. Many jobs specify what's required, and some clients may provide certain equipment. Having quality tools helps you deliver better service and earn higher ratings.

Question 7

How long does verification take?

Accepted Answer

Our verification process typically takes 24-48 hours. We review your ABN, police check, and identification documents to ensure the safety and quality of our platform. You'll receive an email notification once approved.

Question 8

Do I need my own insurance?

Accepted Answer

We recommend appropriate business insurance for your cleaning operations. Job listings may note client or site requirements; having cover helps you work confidently across residential and short-stay properties.

Question 9

How do I get help if something goes wrong?

Accepted Answer

Our team is here for bookings, payments, and disputes. Once you're on the platform you can reach support through your account, and we prioritise professional, timely resolution.
