Use these as a guide. Your estimate is always shown before Book.
Domestic cleaners on JobZapp typically list from about 36 to 87 ZAR an hour. A short weekly tidy and a full deep clean will not cost the same, even in the same suburb.
The estimate usually combines the worker rate, a booking fee of about 20% of the job cost and call-out or travel on jobs under six hours. You confirm the total before the cleaner is booked.
Southern Suburbs homes in Claremont, Rondebosch, Constantia and Wynberg use the same flow: post the job, compare nearby cleaners and pay when the clean is done.
