“Why Imperial Coastal Cleaning Chooses Packages Over Hourly Rates”

Updated: 3 days ago

Most people expect cleaning services to charge by the hour. It makes sense—wages in Australia are hourly, and the Fair Work Ombudsman provides pay calculators. But at Imperial Coastal Cleaning, we don’t sell time. We deliver results.


Our approach is simple: tailored packages, not timers. We work to a checklist, not a clock. Whether it takes 2 hours or 4, your home or business gets a sparkling clean every time. No surprises, no watching the clock—just consistent, high-quality service designed around your needs.


Here’s why our packages work for our clients.


Understanding the Limitations of Hourly Rates


In our experience, hourly rates create challenges for both clients and cleaners. On the surface, hourly rates may appear simple. You pay for the time your cleaner spends at your home, and costs seem clear. But this model comes with pitfalls that can lead to client frustration.


1. Focus Shifts from Quality to Time


Hourly rates can pressure cleaners to rush their work. When they focus on the clock instead of the task, it compromises the quality of the cleaning. This hurried approach can mean dirty corners get overlooked or surfaces aren't thoroughly cleaned. For instance, a cleaner may finish a standard room in just 30 minutes to save time, but the quality may suffer significantly.


2. Costs Can Be Unpredictable


If a job takes longer—say an extra hour due to an especially messy kitchen—you could end up paying more than your original estimate. This uncertainty can be a significant deterrent for clients considering cleaning services.


Why Our Tailored Packages Work


At Imperial Coastal Cleaning, we charge by your personal tailored package, not by the hour. This allows us to focus on results, not time.


1. Predictable Pricing


You receive a clear, upfront price. No surprises. You know exactly what you will pay for every visit.


2. Customised Services


Every home and client's has unique needs. Our tailored packages are customisable based on your specific requirements. Whether you want a deep clean before a big event, regular touch-ups, or specialised tasks like inspection cleaning, we can create a package just for you.


3. Consistent Quality


We follow a detailed checklist, not a timer. This ensures every visit meets our high standards. Clients consistently report higher satisfaction compared to previous hourly cleaners.

How Our Packages Enhance Your Experience


Selecting a tailored cleaning package not only benefits you financially but also elevates your overall service experience. Here’s how:


1. Flexibility


Our packages allow flexible scheduling options. You can decide how often you want our services—be it inspection clean, bond clean, weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. This adaptability ensures your home stays clean without the stress of continual rescheduling. The schedule adapts to you, not the other way around.


2. Comprehensive Services


Many of our tailored packages come with a variety of services. For instance, a package may include deep cleaning, window washing, and oven or fridge cleans. This means you can tackle several cleaning tasks all at once, saving you both time and stress.


3. Building Trust


Choosing a tailored package helps us build a long-term relationship with you. This trust allows us to better understand your cleaning habits and tailor our services to align with your lifestyle.
