Sometimes you don't need an ongoing service — you just need the place sparkling once. Pre-party, post-renovation, the start of a new tenancy, or the once-a-year spring clean that keeps getting pushed. PAQ does one-off cleans without the obligation to book again.

- Spot-cleaning walls and high-touch areas
- Add-ons: oven, carpets, internal windows, garages, outdoor areas
How PAQ Does It
- Quoted per job: not per hour, so you know the cost upfront before we arrive.
- Flexible scope: tell us what matters most — kitchens before guests, bathrooms after the build, carpets before a party — and we'll prioritise.
- No ongoing commitment: one-off means one-off. Loved it? Book another. Didn't need to? No follow-up.
- Available short-notice: depending on the calendar, same-week and weekend bookings are often possible.
Common Questions
What counts as a one-off clean?
Anything that isn't a regular recurring booking or a bond/exit clean. The most common ones are spring cleans, move-in cleans (before unpacking into a new place), pre-event tidy-ups (before guests, parties, inspections), and post-renovation cleans where there's dust and debris to clear before living back in the space. If you're not sure which bucket you're in, ask and we'll suggest the right one.
How is a one-off clean priced?
One-off cleans are quoted per job, based on home size, scope and any add-ons (oven, carpets, windows, outdoor). The quote you're given is the quote you pay regardless of how long it actually takes us — no surprise hourly extras. Same-day quotes by message or call.
How long does a one-off deep clean take?
A 2-3 bedroom home typically takes one PAQ cleaner six to eight hours, or two of us three to four. Larger homes or jobs with significant add-ons (full window detail, carpets, ovens) stretch longer. We'll give you a realistic time estimate with the quote so you can plan around our visit.
Can I get a one-off clean booked this week?
Often yes. We try to hold some capacity for short-notice one-off bookings. Message us with your suburb, the size of the place and what you need cleaned, and we'll tell you straight what's available this week and next.
Do you bring all the equipment?
Yes — vacuums, mops, microfiber, chemicals, ladders for the reachable high stuff, everything we need. You don't need to have anything on hand. If you have specific products you'd like used (allergy-sensitive, eco-only, pet-safe) tell us at quote time.
Can a one-off clean become a regular booking?
Easily. Plenty of regulars start with a one-off because they wanted to test the service first. If you decide afterwards that you'd like us back fortnightly or weekly, just say so and we'll re-quote on a regular rate and find you a slot on the calendar.
Are post-renovation cleans included?
Yes — post-renovation and post-build cleans are a one-off speciality. Expect more chemical, more passes, and add-on equipment to handle plaster dust, paint speckle and construction debris. These are quoted higher than a standard one-off because of the time and consumables involved.
Can you clean outside areas like patios and garages?
Yes, as add-ons to a one-off clean. We don't do high-pressure exterior cleaning, but patios, garages, internal outdoor entertaining areas and similar are all routinely included on request. Mention it at quote time and we'll factor it in.
