Malvern residents review cleaners at 60% above the South Australian average — 414 reviews across 25 cleaners means the ratings here reflect a particularly current and active sample of customer experiences (average: 4.9 stars).
Pricing
Customer reviews on Word of Mouth put the median cleaner job in Malvern at $460, with most landing between $425 and $675 — 13% below the South Australian average. Nearby: Highgate ($460), Hyde Park ($460), Kingswood ($460). Prices have risen 700% since 2010 (from $50 to $400 median), averaging 46.7% per year. If you've received a quote above $675, it lands in the top 25% locally — reasonable for more complex work, worth questioning for routine jobs.
