General Clean, No Strings Attached
We all know that familiar situation – laundry piling up, a dusty bathroom that’s been giving you the side-eye for weeks, or those forgotten corners of your home that *whisper*, “You’ll get to me eventually…”
We’ll match you with someone different to the average professional cleaner with a rigid cookie cutter checklist in hand. A Home Assistant who can turn your “eventually” into a Spring Clean power session focusing on the things that matter to you most – leaving your home looking (and feeling) just like yours.
This button ensures those dusty corners get a proper goodbye 👋
ONCE OFF CLEANING SERVICE
Why Family Clean For a Once Off Clean?
“Sometimes I just need a one-off miracle.” We hear that. A lot. Since 1994, Family Clean have been the matchmakers for home life – connecting folks who need a hand with those born to lend one. And, with over two decades of learning, kissing a few frogs and refining our knack for finding good people, we’ve been told we’re rather good at it.
Whether you’ve landed here looking for a quick break from the usual house cleaning grind, or to treat yourself to an extra pair of hands for meal-prep and a thorough floor clean ahead of a hectic week, we’ve got you. One-time or a couple of times, it’s home help your way.

Finding Your Match
High five—you made a great choice! While you celebrate, we’re matching you with a domestic house cleaner who’s just right for your home. We’ll introduce you to your match within a week and keep you updated along the way.
Confirmation
Once we’ve got your match, we’ll send you a text and email with all the good stuff: your Home Assistant’s details, bio and a photo so you know exactly who is coming through your door. They’ll reach out to you shortly after to set up a date and time for your once off clean.
Walk-through
A great cleaning service starts with great communication. On their first visit, your Home Assistant will chat through your priorities, quirks, what is achievable and expectations (because let’s be real, we all have them!). If extra time is needed, they’ll let you know—no surprises, just clarity.
Payment
Payment is easy as pie. On the day, pay your Home Assistant directly by bank transfer or cash. Simple.
Follow-up
This isn’t a “book and forget” service. After your once off service clean, we’ll check in to make sure everything went smoothly. Heads up: don’t be surprised if you use this opportunity to turn this into a regular cleaning service.
FAQs
How much will a Barefoot Basics Service Cost?
Barefoot Basics is a flat rate of $50 per hour, per cleaner (paid directly to your cleaner on service days).
You choose how much time you’d like to book, with a minimum booking of 2 hours ($100).
There’s also a one-time $49 matching fee to pair you with the right person – and covers you for up to 6 months of replacements if needed.
How much time should I book for?
We suggest booking based on your budget and the size of your home.
Not sure? There’s a handy guide on the booking form, and your cleaner will be upfront about what’s achievable in the time you’ve booked. You can always adjust from there.
*A quick note: while our cleaners are amazing, they’re wonderfully human (not superhuman). They’ll need reasonable time to do the job well based on the size and condition of your home and to ensure the best results for your floors and bathrooms.
Do I need to supply anything?
Yes – your cleaner will use your vacuum, mop, bucket, and cleaning products. This keeps things hygienic and means they’re using exactly what’s right for your home’s surfaces and your personal preferences.
Think: floor cleaner, bathroom cleaner, toilet cleaner, glass cleaner – the things likely already in your laundry cupboard.
Not sure what you need? Here’s our suggested products and equipment list.
*One thing to keep in mind: if your equipment isn’t in great working order (say, your vacuum’s on its last legs or your stick vac only has the energy for a quick 10-minute clean), it may affect the outcome of your service.

How can I be sure my cleaner has a squeaky clean track record?
We’re stringent in making sure all due diligence is done. Police checks, public liability insurance and references are all checked (and then double checked) for your peace of mind. We don’t stop there either – your cleaner has been personally interviewed and recruited based on their reliability and experience. Because we’ve been at this since 1994, we know how to find truly good people to be the extra pair of hands at home that you need.
