Common questions
Straight answers about how we work from Mansfield — services, suburbs, access, pricing, and what happens when something needs a second look.
We offer five services: residential cleaning, commercial cleaning, Airbnb turnover cleaning, Airbnb laundry, and pick-up and return. Residential and commercial covers homes, offices, retail, and workplaces on scheduled or one-off arrangements. Airbnb services target short-stay properties between guest stays. Pick-up and return collects items from your door, processes them at our Mansfield facility, and delivers them back.
We are based in Mansfield and regularly service Brisbane's southern suburbs including Mount Gravatt, Wishart, Carindale, Holland Park, Coorparoo, and surrounding areas. We also work in South Brisbane, Woolloongabba, and nearby pockets. Contact us with your address if you are unsure — we confirm coverage before quoting rather than accepting jobs we cannot reach reliably.
Call 0420 606 066, email duan58813187@me.com, or complete the enquiry form on our contact page. Include your property address, service type, approximate size, and preferred frequency. We respond with a written quote outlining scope and pricing before any work commences. Quotes are free and without obligation.
Yes. We supply products and equipment suited to each surface and task. If you have allergies, sensitivities, or preferences for low-fragrance or specific product types, tell us at enquiry stage and we accommodate where practicable. Commercial clients sometimes supply consumables for amenities — that is agreed in scope beforehand.
Yes. One-off deep cleans, end-of-lease preparation, pre-sale cleans, and single commercial deep cleans are available. Regular weekly, fortnightly, or custom schedules are equally welcome. Pricing reflects frequency and scope — recurring bookings often benefit from efficiency gains over time.
You provide check-out and check-in windows from your booking calendar. We schedule the turnover within that gap and treat the deadline as a firm commitment. Tight same-day turnovers are common; share your calendar early so we can plan capacity. When gaps are too short for our standard, we say so honestly rather than overpromising.
Yes — and many hosts do. Combined bookings coordinate property cleaning with fresh linen processing so beds are dressed and the property is guest-ready in one workflow. Laundry can also be booked alone if you handle cleaning yourself but outsource linen.
We agree a collection window and collect items from your address — laundry, linen, or other agreed textiles. Items are processed at our Mansfield base and returned to your door at a confirmed time. You do not need to drop off at our premises. Secure access via lockbox or unattended collection can be arranged when you are not home.
Not necessarily. Many clients provide key, lockbox, or alarm access after an initial visit. Others prefer to be present — both arrangements work. Access instructions are documented and followed consistently. We respect security procedures for commercial premises and short-stay properties with strict entry protocols.
Scope targets areas Queensland rental inspections typically emphasise: kitchens including oven and rangehood where agreed, bathrooms, windows, floors, skirting boards, and walls where marks are removable. Exact inclusions are listed in your quote because property condition and lease requirements vary. We recommend discussing your agent's expectations when requesting a quote.
Yes. After-hours and early-morning cleaning is standard for offices and retail that cannot accommodate service during trading hours. Alarm codes, key handover, and security procedures are confirmed before the first visit and followed on every subsequent clean.
Payment terms are confirmed at booking. Invoices are issued according to agreed frequency — per visit, weekly, or monthly for commercial accounts. Discuss preferred payment method when accepting your quote so there are no surprises after service delivery.
Contact us promptly with specifics. We revisit within scope to address legitimate omissions. Long-term relationships depend on correction when needed — we do not dismiss feedback or hide behind vague policies. Documented scope from your quote defines what should have been completed.
Summer Palace operates as a professional cleaning business with appropriate insurance arrangements for the work we perform. Specific certificate details are available on request for commercial property managers and body-corporate enquiries. We work carefully to minimise risk, but insurance matters when granting access to homes and workplaces.
We accommodate urgent turnovers for existing clients when capacity allows. New properties require a confirmed quote and access setup before first service. Same-day windows shorter than our standard turnover time may not be feasible — we communicate that honestly rather than accepting a booking we cannot complete to guest-ready standard. Share calendar changes as early as possible.
Yes. Tell us about pets, secure areas, and any allergy or fragrance sensitivities at enquiry stage. We adjust products and approach where practicable. Pets should be secured or separated during cleaning if they are anxious around visitors — we follow your instructions for gates, doors, and rooms that remain off-limits.
