Oven Cleaning Made Easy

Many people hire cleaning services to tackle tasks they'd rather not do themselves, like cleaning the oven. It's a tough job that requires strong products and a lot of effort. Our oven cleaning service offers a complete clean inside your oven at a great price.

What's Included:

Our cleaning staff will spend about 30-60 minutes on your oven, doing tasks such as:

Spraying oven cleaner inside and letting it sit
Scrubbing the walls and trays/grills
Vacuuming, wiping, and scrubbing hinges
Cleaning the inside and outside glass

What's Not Included:

While our service is detailed, we don't completely disassemble ovens like some specialist companies. This keeps our prices reasonable while still achieving great results. Also, older ovens might have limitations on how clean they can get, but we'll do our best!

Booking Process:

You can book an Inside Oven clean with Wink Cleaning in a few ways. You can add it as an extra to a home rate clean or book it separately on an hourly basis. If you choose the hourly option, please allow about 1 hour for the oven cleaning.

Fridge Cleaning Made Simple

We'll empty out your fridge, clean every nook and cranny inside, including shelves and compartments, and then put everything back where it belongs.

Note: If you have a particularly large fridge, there may be extra charges. Also, we don't clean freezers as they typically need to be defrosted before cleaning.

Booking Process:

Booking a fridge clean with Wink Cleaning is easy. You can add it as an extra to a home rate clean or book it separately on an hourly basis. If you choose the hourly option, please allow about 30 minutes for the fridge cleaning.

Environmentally Friendly Cleaning

At our cleaning service, our staff arrive fully equipped with everything needed to clean your home, including a range of cleaning equipment, products, and supplies. Alongside our standard cleaning products, our staff also carry what we call 'Green Supplies.' These products are made from environmentally friendly ingredients, designed to be less toxic to humans, animals, and the environment. We use these green supplies for all types of cleaning services, from regular cleans to deep cleans and move-out cleans.

Will Green Cleaning Affect the Results?

Different cleaners have different experiences and preferences. While some argue that traditional chemicals like bleach are essential for certain tough areas like bathroom grout, others claim that natural alternatives like baking soda and vinegar can achieve similar results.

The truth is, certain chemicals like bleach are very effective for specific cleaning tasks. However, there are green alternatives that can achieve comparable results. For intensive one-time cleaning sessions, using traditional cleaning supplies might be necessary initially, followed by maintenance with green supplies.

Benefits of Green Supplies

The primary benefit of using green supplies is the peace of mind knowing that your home is free from toxic chemicals. While our cleaners are careful, there's always a slight risk of residue from harsh chemicals like bleach. Using green supplies eliminates this concern, making it safer for households with pets or curious children prone to skin irritation. Green supplies are also ideal for people with allergies or sensitivities to certain cleaning chemicals.

Examples of Green Supplies

Some of the products our teams use include Earth Choice, Koh, Mountain Fresh, Gumption, Green Action, Method, water and vinegar solutions, eucalyptus oil, and other natural oils. We strictly avoid using products like strongly scented products, ammonia-based cleaners, and any other products containing strong or toxic chemicals.

Cleaning Inside Cabinets

Cleaning the inside of cabinets may seem simple but can be quite time consuming. We offer different options and prices for this service:

1. Clean Inside Kitchen Cabinets (Empty)

This option is for when all your kitchen cabinets are empty and need cleaning. It's usually chosen when moving in or out of a property.

2. Clean Inside Kitchen Cabinets (Full)

If your kitchen cabinets are full, this option requires manually emptying them, cleaning the insides (not the objects), and then putting everything back. It takes more time and is priced accordingly.

3. Clean Inside All Other Drawers/Cabinets

For simplicity, we offer this option to cover cleaning inside all other drawers and cabinets in your home, including those in bathrooms, bedrooms, and other fixed areas.

Note: if you have a larger home with more cabinets than average, we may need to discuss pricing and options with you before starting the service.

Inside Window Cleaning

Our cleaning teams are fully equipped to provide inside window cleaning services, ensuring all glass panels in your home life. Please note that our prices are based on the average sized home, and for homes with an exceptional amount of glass, we may need to adjust pricing accordingly.

We specialize in inside window cleaning only. If you need outside window cleaning for areas accessible from balconies or other areas, please contact our team to discuss options.

Please be aware that customers must remove fly-screens and any other obstructing objects before our service. We don't attempt to remove fly-screens due to the risk of breakage.

Booking Process:

Booking inside window cleaning with Wink Cleaning is easy. You can add it as an extra to a home rate clean or book it separately on an hourly basis. If you choose the hourly option, please allow approximately 1-2 hours for window cleaning within the booked time, depending on your home's size.

Balcony Cleaning

If your balcony needs some attention, Wink Cleaning has you covered with our "Balcony Clean" extra service. Our balcony cleans include sweeping and mopping the floor, wiping down reachable surfaces, and tidying up the area to make it look fresh again.

We consider a standard balcony to be up to 10 square meters. If your balcony is larger than this, we'll adjust the price accordingly. For example, if your balcony is 25 square meters, we'll charge for 2.5 balcony cleans – simple!

Note: The cleaning balcony glass and balustrades isn't included in a balcony clean. However, if you've also selected the "Inside Windows" cleaning extra, we can clean the outside of balcony glass doors/windows too.

Booking Process:

Booking a Balcony clean with Wink Cleaning is easy. You can add it as an extra to a home rate clean or book it separately on an hourly basis. If you choose the hourly option, please allow approximately 30 minutes for the balcony cleaning within the booked time.

Laundry Services

We provide on-site laundry services exclusively. If you have a washing machine and dryer, our cleaning teams can take care of washing, drying, and folding your laundry during your service. However, there are some factors to consider, such as the washing and drying times of your machines, which may limit the number of loads we can complete during a service.

Typically, washing cycles take 45-60 minutes, and drying times range from 30-45 minutes. Generally, we can handle one laundry load every two hours we're at your property. Since we often work in teams of two, requesting more than 1-2 loads of laundry can sometimes cause complications.

If you have any questions about our laundry options, please don't hesitate to give us a call.

Wet Wipe Blinds

Regular dusting can maintain clean blinds, but if left untouched for a while, blinds can accumulate a significant amount of dust and dirt, making them difficult to clean. If you'd like your blinds to receive a complete wet wipe cleaning, please select this extra service. We charge per blind and will completely clean every level of your blind.

Booking Process:

Booking the 'Wet Wipe Blinds' service with Wink Cleaning is simple. You can add it as an extra to a home rate clean or book it separately on an hourly basis. If you choose the hourly option, please allocate approximately 30 minutes per blind within the booked time.

Clean Walls

We offer various methods to remove scuff marks and dirt from walls. During move-out cleans, we include the removal of a couple of major scuff marks as part of the service. However, if walls have many light to medium marks, we require you to book wall cleaning as an extra service. We charge per wall and ask that you specify which walls you'd like cleaned when selecting this extra.

Note: There are limits to what can be achieved when cleaning walls. Old paint may come off, even with light pressure, making it impossible to clean. If walls are extremely dirty, we cannot guarantee they will look like new.

Booking Process:

Booking wall cleaning with Wink Cleaning is easy. You can add it as an extra to a home rate clean or book it separately on an hourly basis. If you choose the hourly option, please allocate approximately 15-30 minutes per wall within the booked time.

Bathroom Cleaning

Bathrooms and kitchens are typically the areas in your home that need the most cleaning attention. These spaces are often used frequently and are prone to moisture buildup. That's why our cleaning staff are experts at leaving these areas sparkling clean.

What is Our Process?

The extent of our bathroom cleaning depends on the service you book. With our hourly rate service, we clean as much of your bathroom as possible within the allocated time. If you choose one of our home rate services, all bathrooms in your home will be fully cleaned according to our standard checklists. If you'd like a detailed checklist of what's included in our home rate service, please reach out to us.
