Get commercial cleaning leads in Australia

Facility requests describe the building before they describe the work. The client picks the type of premises — an office, a store or restaurant, an industrial or warehouse site, or the common areas of a residential building — and says how big it is, from a single unit to several floors or several sites.

What a commercial cleaning lead shows you

Every commercial cleaning request answers these questions before it reaches you. Follow-up questions appear only when an earlier answer calls for them.

Frequency is the other half of the brief: a one-time clean, daily, weekly, or an ongoing contract. The same requests also cover security and facility management, so one may ask for a guard on site, a mobile patrol, event security or alarm response rather than cleaning at all.

  1. How many people work there?

The guide clients get on this site

We publish a commercial cleaning guide for clients. It is written for them, not for us, and its headings are a fair list of what someone who has read it will ask you about.

Read the commercial cleaning guide

What the guide covers

  • The different jobs that all get called commercial cleaning
  • Chemicals, safety data sheets and the register
  • Who owes the safety duty when cleaners work in someone else's building
  • Underpayment in contract cleaning, and why the buyer is exposed
  • Writing a cleaning specification you can actually enforce
  • Work a cleaning contractor should hand to somebody licensed
  • Keeping standards from drifting after month three

Questions it answers

  • Am I responsible if my cleaning contractor underpays its staff?
  • What should I ask to see before signing a cleaning contract?
  • Do cleaners need a licence in Australia?
  • How often should periodic work like carpet cleaning happen?
  • Who is responsible for safety when cleaners work alone after hours?

Work a cleaning contractor should hand to somebody licensed

From our guide for this trade, with the official sources it was checked against.

  • Anything involving asbestos. Removing more than ten square metres of non-friable asbestos, or any amount of friable asbestos, requires a licensed removalist, and cleaners are among the workers most likely to disturb it unknowingly.
  • High-pressure water spray or compressed air on material that might contain asbestos, which SafeWork NSW says must never be used on it.
  • External window cleaning and other work at height, which brings the fall provisions and possibly rope access or platform requirements into play.
  • Electrical work of any kind, including replacing a failed fitting, which is licensed trade work in every state and territory.
  • Biohazard and trauma cleaning, and clinical waste handling, which need specific training, equipment and disposal arrangements.

Sources: Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (NSW), sections 19, 20 and 46 · Work Health and Safety Regulation 2017 (NSW), clauses 330, 344 and 346 · Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth), sections 139, 535, 536, 550, 557A and 558B · SafeWork NSW — asbestos, including unlicensed removal limits and prohibited tools

How matching works

Requests are matched by published rules that are the same for every pro.

How we rank and match pros
  • You receive a request only for services you offer and haven’t excluded, in the areas you serve.
  • Your account must be active, with your email address and phone number verified, and you must be accepting new requests within the daily or weekly limits you set.
  • Requests reach you only with timings you accept, such as emergencies, and budgets that aren’t clearly outside the range you work in.
  • When more pros fit than a lead allows, we give more weight to an exact service match, how directly you cover the area, verification, how quickly you reply and, once you have at least three published reviews, your rating. Never to who pays more.
  • Each lead goes to a limited number of pros, and you see that number before you decide.

Invalid leads and refunds

If a lead turns out to be invalid, you can ask for a refund review from your dashboard. We look at each request and let you know the outcome. A lead may qualify when:

  • The contact details are wrong or don't work.
  • It duplicates a lead you already received.
  • It isn't a real request for work.
  • It's outside the services or areas you listed.

Verification you’ll need

Before you receive leads, you confirm your business email and phone number with one-time codes. Business registration, licence and insurance details are optional during sign-up; once our team checks them, your profile shows what was verified and when.

  • Contact details verified

    You confirm your business email and phone number with one-time codes. This is required before you receive leads.

  • Business registration checked

    Our team reviews the registration details you provide.

  • Licence and insurance checked

    Where your trade calls for a licence or insurance, we review what you provide.

Verification shows which details were checked and when. It isn’t a guarantee of workmanship, and it can’t be bought.

Read how verification works

Getting set up for commercial cleaning work

  • Set the premises types you service. A warehouse floor and a restaurant kitchen need different equipment and different staff.
  • If you want ongoing contracts rather than one-off cleans, say so plainly. The client chooses the frequency inside the request.
  • Security work arrives through these same requests. If you supply guards or patrols as well as cleaning, tick both so you see all of it.
