How we collect and count feedback
These figures add up the published suburbs in the Inner City area. Repeat visits count separately, so cleans are not homes. Frequency shares use all recorded completed visits with a recognised frequency, including older history; they do not measure current demand. Customer records use distinct customer identifiers within one suburb, not verified home addresses, and are never summed across suburbs. Checked 15 October 2026.
Customer feedback is the rating a customer gave after a clean: each counts once, low scores included. Earlier feedback used “bad”, “OK” or “good”; those count as 2, 3 and 5 stars, the same equivalents we have always used. Comments quoted for Inner City are published comments from customers who rated the clean 4 or 5 stars. The average includes every rating.
Google reviews are a separate source, shown as the Sydney listing reports them, and are never averaged together with our customer feedback. Across all locations: 4.6 / 5 from 9,890 customer feedback ratings; 4.7 / 5 from 781 reviews on our 6 Google listings.
