As a creative studio, we’ve always prided ourselves on keeping our space fresh, inspiring, and, well, not coated in a thin layer of mystery dust. But let’s be real—between tight deadlines, client meetings, and the occasional forgotten sandwich in the staff fridge, the studio was starting to look like the “before” shot of a home makeover show. It was time to call in the pros.
We trialled a few different office cleaning services around Brisbane to see who could actually walk the talk. And after a couple of months of sparkling desks, much-improved air quality, and zero passive-aggressive fridge notes, we’ve narrowed it down to four services that truly stood out. These aren’t just companies we Googled—they’re cleaners we’ve worked with and would happily welcome back.
If you’re a fellow business trying to find a cleaning crew that doesn’t treat your space like just another checkbox, here’s the list. Whether you’re in a creative field like us or simply value a clean work environment, this one’s for you.
Worth Every Cent Cleaning
We have to admit, we were a bit sceptical at first—any company that calls itself “Worth Every Cent” kind of sets the bar sky-high, right? But they really lived up to it. Their team brought a mix of professionalism and easygoing warmth that made them a perfect fit for our laid-back but high-functioning studio.
From the start, they were happy to chat through what we actually needed, not just push some pre-set package at us. We’ve got some quirks in our space (hello, constantly smudged glass doors and a white kitchen that somehow attracts every crumb in a 5-metre radius) and they didn’t bat an eye. Instead, they tailored the service exactly how we wanted it, without making it feel like a big deal.
What impressed us most was their consistency. They showed up when they said they would, always with a positive attitude, and were super respectful of the artwork, gear, and work-in-progress zones dotted around the studio. No mysterious missing USB cords or wiped-off whiteboards here.
Their attention to detail was proper noticeable. It wasn’t just about vacuuming and bin emptying (though they nailed those too). They’d do things like neatly arrange scattered magazines in the waiting area or leave the bathroom smelling like actual lemons instead of that weird fake citrus scent you get in dodgy food courts.
If your office has a bit of personality, and you want a team that can respect and support that without a whole lot of micromanaging, this crew is worth more than just a passing glance. Also worth noting: their admin side was easy to deal with, and quotes came through quickly. Big plus.
Super Brisbane Cleaning
Super Brisbane Cleaning doesn’t mess about. They’ve got that neat efficiency you don’t realise you need until someone rolls in with their colour-coded checklist and has your entire space sorted before you’ve finished your second coffee.
We brought them in when we were in a bit of a pinch—had a few big client presentations that week and needed the place looking like a Pinterest board. They didn’t flinch. The team was on time, kitted out with their own gear, and honestly made our scuffed-up space look like we’d just moved in.
Their cleaners are clearly trained to a high standard, but what stood out more than anything was how smoothly they got the job done. No faffing around, no unnecessary noise, and zero need for us to explain things twice. You could tell they’d worked in plenty of office environments and understood how to operate quietly around people still getting work done.
What also made a big impression was their follow-through. After the first clean, they sent a quick check-in email to see how it went and whether we wanted to tweak anything for next time. That’s the kind of detail that sticks with you. They made us feel like more than just a slot on their calendar.
For anyone running a fast-moving business where time’s tight and standards are high, this team delivers. You won’t need to babysit them, and they won’t need endless instructions. They just get it.
ExtraClean
ExtraClean had that friendly, flexible vibe that immediately put us at ease. You know when someone walks into your space and just sort of gets it? That was them. We first called them in when our regular cleaner couldn’t make it, but ended up using them a lot more after that first visit.
Their team was cheerful, low-key, and surprisingly quick on the uptake. They took the time to ask about things we wouldn’t have thought to mention—like whether any of our team had allergies to certain cleaning products or whether we wanted them to rotate the bin liners to cut down on waste. Little things, but they showed a level of care you don’t always get.
They’re definitely a great fit for smaller offices, shared workspaces, or creative studios like ours where the schedule’s not always the same every week. We had to shuffle a few bookings around and they were totally fine with it—no extra fees or annoyed replies. Just, “No worries, we’ll make it work.”
One of the biggest benefits was how affordable they were without sacrificing quality. It’s not often you find a service that’s both budget-friendly and totally on the ball. And they didn’t try to upsell us on extras we didn’t need. Just honest service, good communication, and a noticeable difference once they’d been through.
If your team’s a bit more relaxed, you’ve got a unique office setup, or you’re just after a cleaning service that doesn’t feel too ‘corporate’, give ExtraClean a go. They’ve definitely earned a spot in our regular rotation.
Optima Cleaners
We’d heard good things about Optima Cleaners before we booked them, so our expectations were a bit higher—and they didn’t disappoint. These folks are polished in every sense of the word. The admin team was quick to respond, got us a quote within a day, and even helped us schedule a weekend clean without any hassle.
They’re ideal for businesses looking for more than just surface-level tidying. Think carpets, upholstery, hard-to-reach vents, and all those weird corners that most cleaners kind of ignore. They’ve got the tools and the know-how to give your space the kind of deep clean that actually feels deep. When they finished our first session, the office felt lighter—like it had taken a big clean breath of fresh air.
Their attention to detail was next level. They left the kitchen tiles gleaming (somehow without making the floor feel like a skating rink), removed every trace of printer dust from our shelves, and even neatly organised the storage cupboard without being asked. That last one earned them serious brownie points from our office manager.
The team also left a job sheet so we could see exactly what they’d done. We didn’t ask for that, but it was a nice touch and made it easy to keep track for future visits. It’s clear they’ve built a strong system behind the scenes.
For anyone looking for a reliable service that can do both regular cleans and the occasional full reset, Optima’s a solid pick. Their work was detailed, thorough, and left us genuinely impressed.
A Few Final Thoughts
Choosing a cleaner isn’t exactly the most thrilling part of running a business, but it makes a big difference. The right team doesn’t just wipe surfaces—they support your environment, your staff, and your day-to-day flow. And when you find a cleaning service that actually respects the space you’ve worked hard to build, it shows.
Each of the teams we’ve mentioned here brought something unique to the table. Worth Every Cent felt like an extension of our crew. Super Brisbane Cleaning was fast, professional and totally reliable. ExtraClean gave us friendly, flexible help that felt genuinely collaborative. And Optima Cleaners? They went deep and came out sparkling.
We’ll be continuing to use a mix of these services depending on what we need at any given time. And if you’re in Brisbane and looking to level up your office cleanliness, we can honestly say you’re in good hands with any of them.
If you’ve had great experiences with another local cleaner, drop us a line—we’re always open to adding to the list (and to giving our fridge another go at staying civilised).
