In brief
You come in to a clean, stocked office each morning, with toilets, bins, glass, and skirting kept on top of, and the site opened and locked the same way every time.
I’ll confirm the scope and entry details, then I’ll clean on the agreed schedule and leave the site ready for staff at 8am. Next is a quick walk-through and a start date.
I start with a walk-through and a set of site notes so nothing lives in someone’s head. Then I put the scope into a simple task schedule: what gets done weekly, what gets done fortnightly, and what’s checked each visit. I also write down the key and alarm procedure so opening and lock-up stays consistent.
A bit about me
I’m Kate Donnelly, a commercial cleaner, and I run Nobbys Night Clean as a one-person service. I do after-hours work because offices run better when cleaning happens quietly in the background. The same person does the walk-through, does the cleans, and sends the invoice, so the details don’t get lost between handovers.
Most people come to me after a cleaner has started missing visits or rushing the basics. I clean to a written checklist, I leave short notes when I spot an issue, and I stick to the same entry and lock-up routine each time. If something needs extra time, I’ll tell you before I do it, not after it shows up on an invoice.
Recent work
Here are a few after-hours cleans where the client needed reliable access, consistent basics, and a site that looked right first thing in the morning.
Portfolio
Two-floor office reset. A weekly after-hours office clean set up after service gaps. I documented the alarm steps, added a fortnightly skirting and glass rotation, and stopped the Monday morning scramble around toilets, bins, and kitchen touch points.
Clinic out-of-hours clean. An out-of-hours clean for a small allied health clinic focused on waiting room, consult rooms, toilets, and high-touch points. I used a room-by-room checklist so the last appointment doesn’t dictate the standard the next morning.
End-of-lease handover clean. An end-of-lease commercial clean for a small tenancy ahead of agent handover. I worked to the agent’s expectations around glass, skirting, bathrooms, and kitchen, and flagged any maintenance issues separately from cleaning.
“She turns up, follows the checklist, and the office is ready every morning.”

How the service runs
After-hours office cleaning runs on a set schedule and a written checklist. You’ll have one point of contact, and you can message me any time if something changes before the next visit.
1. Walk-through Once, at start I do a walk-through with you or your nominee and take site notes on bathrooms, kitchen, desks, glass, floors, and any problem areas. We agree the entry point, key storage, alarm steps, and where I leave notes after each clean. 2. Each visit clean Every visit I let myself in using the agreed procedure, then work through the checklist in the same order each time. I focus first on the things people notice at 8am: toilets, bins, kitchens, smudges on glass, and floors. I lock up and reset the alarm the same way every visit. 3. Rotation tasks Weekly/Fortnightly I rotate the deeper tasks you don’t need every visit, like full skirting runs, spot wall marks, detail glass, and behind-door edges. The rotation is written into the schedule so it happens without you having to ask for it. 4. Notes and adjustments Each month If something needs attention that sits outside the usual clean, I’ll note it and give you a price before I do it. If your headcount, trading hours, or office layout changes, I’ll update the checklist so the service matches the site, not an old assumption.
Toilets and basins
Every visit. Clean and disinfect toilets, basins, taps, mirrors, and touch points. Restock consumables you supply, and tell you before anything runs out.
KITCHEN AND BREAK AREAS
Every visit. Wipe benches, tables, cupboard fronts as needed, sink area, and appliance exteriors. Spot clean splash marks so the kitchen looks reset for the morning.
BINS AND WASTE
Every visit. Empty internal bins, replace liners where used, and take waste to your nominated disposal point. Any overflow or unusual waste gets flagged in my note.
Floors
Every visit. Vacuum carpeted areas and clean hard floors as suited to the surface. Spills and tracked-in marks are handled the night they happen, not left for “deep clean day”.
GLASS AND TOUCH POINTS
Every visit for entry glass and obvious fingerprints. Fortnightly detail on internal glass and partitions, based on a written rotation so it stays consistent.
SKIRTING AND EDGES
Fortnightly rotation. Wipe skirting, door edges, and corners in high-traffic areas. If there’s build-up that needs a longer session, I’ll quote it before I start.
Pricing
These are typical starting points based on size, toilets, kitchenette use, and how much foot traffic you get. Prices are per visit.
Priced items
Optional extras
Add these when you need them, and I’ll price them into the next visit or invoice them separately.

Get started
If you’d like me to take this over, you can lock in a start date in three quick steps.
1. Sign the acceptance on this proposal. 2. Send through key and alarm access details, or tell me how you’d like to hand them over. 3. I’ll confirm the first clean date and the entry and lock-up checklist.

Fee summary
Payment
I invoice at the start of each period. Nothing is paid up front beyond that. Every invoice is payable within 7 days of its date.
Walk-through and scope. I’ll do a walk-through once at the start and write up site notes and an inclusions list. If the scope changes, I’ll update the list first so the price stays tied to it.
Keys and alarm. I’ll agree the entry and alarm procedure with you before the first clean. You can hand over keys in person, and I won’t write alarm codes into this document or any emailed notes.
Access on the night. If I can’t access the site at the agreed time, I’ll let you know that night. The visit can’t be completed without safe access, and a return visit is charged as an extra.
Supplies and equipment
I bring my own gear and cleaning chemicals for after-hours office cleaning. You supply site consumables such as toilet paper, hand soap, paper towel, and bin liners unless we agree otherwise in writing.
Timing and quality checks. Visit length depends on foot traffic and what needs attention that night. If something has been missed, tell me within 24 hours and I’ll fix it on the next visit, or sooner if it can’t wait.
Changes and cancellation. If you need to change the schedule, tell me as early as you can and I’ll confirm the next available slot. Ongoing services run until either of us gives notice, with the notice period set in writing.
Extra work. Anything outside the inclusions list is treated as extra work, and I’ll price it before I start. That includes end-of-lease commercial clean requests, builders clean work, and any one-off deep cleans.
