About Us
ABOUT MIKE’S CLEAN FREAKS
Mike’s Clean Freaks is a subscription-based professional cleaning company for homes and offices—with zero lock-in contracts and maximum sparkle. That means you can cancel anytime (though once you see how clean we get things, you probably won’t want to).
We do require a credit card on file before we clean—so our residential clients can kick back and relax, knowing the only thing they’ll need to worry about is what show to binge watch on Netflix.
We’re not your bargain-bin cleaners. We’re a premium service for people who care more about cleanliness than cutting corners. If you want cheap and cheerful, we’re probably not your crew. But if you want pristine floors and gleaming bathrooms without lifting a finger? Welcome aboard.
Based in Byford, we roam all over the southern suburbs of Perth, WA. From Fremantle to Roleystone (coast to hills), and from South Perth and Applecross down to Mundijong and Baldivis—we’ve got it covered. (Sorry, Mandurah friends. We’re not quite there yet.)
In the beginning, we took on all kinds of residential cleaning gigs—big, small, one-off, you name it. But we quickly learned that one-time jobs are about as fun as trying to vacuum glitter out of a shag rug—pointless, exhausting, and somehow it keeps coming back.. One time jobs are unpredictable, inefficient, and don’t help our staff plan their lives—or stay sane.
So we pivoted. Now we focus on recurring clients who love us (and whom we love right back). This model keeps our team happy, our schedule steady, and our service top-notch.
Speaking of our team—good cleaners are rare gems, and we treat ours like treasure. Mike’s on a mission to make this a workplace people actually like showing up to. That means public praise for jobs well done (no matter how small), and private chats for anything less-than-stellar. Respect goes a long way.!
It’s working. Our team sticks around, learns the ropes properly, and takes pride in their work. They don’t need micromanaging—they’re self-motivated, accountable, and genuinely care about doing a great job for their clients.
The result? A cleaning company that runs like clockwork, staffed by people who love what they do. And it shows- in every streak-free mirror and crumb-free benchtop.
Meet the Team!
Mike H
Mike is a fully qualified butcher who spent 13 years knee-deep in steaks, sausage meat, and unsolicited “Is this fresh?” questions. His longest tours of meat duty were at Hadley’s Butcher in Willetton and Olsen Butchers in Roleystone — five years at each, which is basically a lifetime in sausage years.
At Olsen Butchers, he worked with the legendary trio, Gavin and Collin Olsen, and Mark Bailey, in what he still calls “one of the best butcher shops in Perth” — a claim he will argue with anyone, anywhere, probably while holding a meat cleaver.
Then one day, everything changed. Mike read Rich Dad, Poor Dad and had what can only be described as a full-blown business epiphany. Suddenly, spreadsheets became more exciting than steaks. Instead of carving lamb shoulders, he was carving out business plans and cash-flow forecasts late into the night — the kind of stuff that really gets the adrenaline pumping..
Despite plotting to open his own butcher shop, he wisely decided not to gamble his house on questionable shopfronts with more risk than reward. So, naturally, he “accidentally” discovered cleaning — like a reverse Cinderella story, but with more bleach.
Now, Mike is the proud founder of Mike’s Clean Freaks, where the only thing he butchers are cleaning jobs (and maybe the occasional motivational quote). Butchering is just a fond, meaty memory — replaced by mops, vacuums, and a tonne of morning fresh.
Kim A
Kim is Mike’s Administrative Assistant, aka the behind-the-scenes superhero who keeps the office running smoother than a freshly mopped floor.
Originally from the Philippines, Kim has been scrubbing away at administrative tasks for Australian-based companies for three years. From organizing the chaos of emails to scheduling appointments (and making sure no one double-books during cleaning time), she’s the one who makes it all look easy.
For Kim, each day is a new opportunity to wipe away the clutter, polish up the team’s productivity, and add a little sparkle to everyone’s workday. Whether it’s managing data, or finding the perfect balance between a cluttered inbox and a spotless schedule, she’s got it covered. She’s basically the Marie Kondo of the office.
When she’s not at work, Kim is out running (probably avoiding puddles) and reading books about finances and personal development—because even superheroes need to level up their game.
Marjorie A
Meet Marjorie, our superhero bookkeeper who’s been keeping our finances in check since May 2024.
When she’s not working her number-crunching magic, Marjorie is off on adventures to Cambodia to visit her son, who runs a cafe there called Krouser Cafe. (Spoiler alert: It means “Family Cafe,” but we think it might also be a secret plot to get her a lifetime supply of delicious Cambodian coffee.) The best part? Bookkeeping is a job that’s basically made for globetrotters like her. Whether she’s in a cafe in Phnom Penh or lounging on a beach somewhere, Marjorie’s got us covered.
Oh, and she’s got three daughters in Perth and three adorable grandkids keeping her on her toes! If you need a little extra love from a supermom with a knack for numbers, you’ve found the right person..
Hayley G
Meet Hayley – our resident cleaning guru and unofficial “cleaning whisperer.” Hayley is more than just a key part of our team; she’s like the cleaning company’s Swiss Army knife. Need to learn how to mop like a pro? Hayley’s got you covered. Need to understand how to get a shower screen back to new every while avoiding the Bermuda Triangle of 50 half used shampoo bottles? She’ll break it down for you in 3 simple steps.
Before deciding to return to us (and let’s be honest, who could resist coming back to this cleaning dream team?), Hayley spent 3 years working her magic here. She then left, presumably to share her talents with the world, but we’re thrilled she’s back where she belongs. She’s got a natural gift for teaching—after all, she’s mentioned wanting to be a teacher’s aide. And trust us, when it comes to cleaning, her lessons stick better than any stain!
We’re so glad to have her back on the team. Now, get ready to learn how to clean from the best!
Miguel R
Miguel, originally from Madrid, Spain, has been living in Perth for the past four years. He is currently pursuing studies in Hydro Geology, combining his passion for science with a drive to understand the Earth’s water systems.
By night, Miguel works diligently as a commercial cleaner for Mike’s Clean Freaks, showcasing his strong work ethic. A true science enthusiast, he also has a deep love for Star Wars and all things Marvel.
Brady M
Meet Brady – a cleaning ninja in disguise. He doesn’t just clean, he transforms spaces. If you ever wonder if you’re in good hands, just take a peek at his house. It’s like walking into an Instagram cleaning ad – everything is meticulously organised, sparkling clean, and somehow, even the dust looks scared to show up. Brady’s house is also home to dozens of happy little plants, each thriving like they’ve been pampered at a spa.
Now, I’ll admit, I’d never hired a guy for this job before. It’s usually all ladies applying, and I was a bit skeptical. I mean, come on – guys and cleaning? But Brady blew all my doubts away. He wasn’t just the best guy for the job, he has shown over time to be one of the best employees we’ve EVER had! He is a better cleaner than almost any female on the planet. And I’d be willing to challenge anyone on that!
Brady might be the strong silent type, but don’t let that fool you. While he’s not busy chatting away, he’s laser-focused on the task at hand. He gets in, gets to work, and gets it DONE, all while leaving behind a trail of cleanliness and a slight aroma of Franjipani (our air freshener, surprisingly not from his plants!)
Gabby P
She’s also quite intelligent as she put a lot of planning into where she wants to live. She lives directly across the road from a Golf Course.
Although you may feel it’s a bit of a waste that she doesn’t even play, she somehow managed to earn my respect regardless.
Gabby’s a music loving, artsy Mum with 2 daughters, a husband, 2 dogs and a cat
Dominique S
Born in Germany, Dominique and her family moved to Chicago, USA as a teenager, then moved to Perth.
She’s married a man who loves golf, so she’s proven to be an intelligent lady and knows how to pick them
Dominique has breezed through training as I expected she would, and has clients of her own. It definitely didn’t take her long!
She loves horses and all things animals and a wise man once told me, you can’t trust a person who doesn’t like animals.
Robyn B
Robyn smashed through our training like she had been doing it her whole life. Anyone would think she was born for this job!
The ever so reliable and consistent Robyn, always puts in 100% day in day out. She fits all of our core values and never complains. She just gets in and gets it done.
Radhi K
Radhi is an unusual lady considering she’s young. The challenge is how to keep this short.
Radhi received a complaint once, and boy did she respond in the best way anyone can. Insisted it would never happen again and that she’d learn from it. And boy has she learnt from it. She has a great attitude towards hard work and the company. She is great with customers, happy and bubbly personality making her great with her colleagues. Her customers all love her and her colleagues love working with her.
My opinion is Radhi will stick around for a while, and we’ll make sure it stays in her best interest to be here.
Nickie B
As you can tell, most of our staff come from referrals and recommendations.
Nickie’s life experience has shown early on, she cleans to a very high standard, and works extremely hard, which is a testament to her generation.
Kirsha H
Kirsha built a house in Byford with her husband and 2 little daughters, and she has spent most of her working life working hospitality in cafe’s fulfilling all the roles imaginable that’s required in a cafe / restaurant. That includes being a qualified barista.
She has a lot of respect for hospitality workers, especially to those who have been in the industry for a long time. Hospitality is fast paced, with lots of multi tasking required. This drills into people an impressive work ethic, and a lot of people couldn’t handle the work, the stress or the hours.
Kirsha loves the gym (another reason we knew she’d handle this job well), and spending time with her family.
Kellee W
Kellee had previous experience with another cleaner company, but decided to try somewhere new so she applied here successfully.
It’s hard to find cleaners who live central as most quality applications are from people in the outer suburbs. Kellee lives central and she’s a great worker so that worked out perfectly for us. She lives in the Cockburn area and has 8 kids aged 15 to 26.
She loves baking cakes and desserts, and watching movies with her kids in her spare time.
India O
Holly R
Holly is only 19, and has already stapled herself to be a key person in this organisation.
She is always willing to go above and beyond, covers shifts on her day off, stays back late when needed, and works consistently to a high standard.
Holly has such a great work ethic, and has the maturity of a 39-year old, stuck in a 19- year old’s body. She loves playing guitar, she’s very artsy and loves camping and hiking.
Ella H
Ella was born and raised in Bhutan and moved over 12 months ago with her husband and young children..
She’s a very polite and gentle lady, and although her English is still a work in progress, she more than makes up for it with her cleaning and her work ethic.
We all know people from Asian cultures are known for their excellent work ethic, and Ella is no different!
Kelly W
Kelly previously worked here for about 8 months doing house cleaning during the day but became pregnant shortly after starting. She worked right up until about 8 months pregnant before having to stop.
Kelly was a big loss because she was a great worker. Mike was delighted when she wanted to return working here, but this time only working nights for a few hours a few days per week.
Kelly now has 2 kids, a boy and a girl, and loves being able to be a stay at home mum during the day.
Alita G
Alita grew up in the Wheatbelt before settling in Maddington at age 20. A passionate hockey player for over 2 decades, she has represented WA, and now enjoys playing video games with her partner.
She’s a Mum of 4, and runs her own photography business on the side, focusing on families and sports. Alita has been a great addition to this team, and super reliable!
Although she doesn’t know it yet, she is also known as Ali G, as it’s very important to give staff nicknames
Brooke C
Brooke is studying Sports Science and Exercise and plays for several teams, including the West Coast Eagles and Perth Heat, and manages to still work for us 3 days per week despite her workload!
Outside of sports, Brooke enjoys sunrise swims, coffee, and runs with friends. Known for her positive attitude and sense of humour (we have an inside joke that she’s “affiliated” with UFC legend Brock Lesnar, and she’s still undefeated), she brings a friendly, team-oriented approach to everything she does.
Samantha W
Samantha brings a unique blend of dedication and expertise to our cleaning business. With a strong background in childcare, holding Certificate II, Certificate III, and a Diploma, along with Certificate III qualifications in Pathology Collection and Assistant in Nursing, Samantha’s diverse skills underscore her meticulous nature and commitment to well-being.
While her professional background is varied, Samantha’s true passion lies in cleaning. She finds joy and satisfaction in transforming spaces, ensuring they are not just tidy, but truly sparkling.
Outside of work, she cherishes time with her loved ones. As a devoted mother to two young daughters, and partner, weekends are treasured for family time. Samantha’s personal dedication to creating a clean and nurturing environment for her own family translates directly into the care and attention she provides for our clients’ homes.
Larissa H
Larissa was born in Hervey Bay and has lived in more places than a backpacker on a gap year—QLD, NSW, the mid-north coast, Brisbane… before finally settling in WA for a bit of peace and quiet (ha, with two young daughters!).
She’s done it all—competitive horse riding, Auslan, beauty school, and attended more schools than she can count. These days, she calls the south-west suburbs of Perth home and spends weekends exploring with her little humans.
Larissa’s quickly become a key part of the Mike’s Clean Freaks crew—fun, hardworking, and always up for a laugh (even mid-toilet scrub).
Teagan S
Hailing from the Perth Hills, Teagan is a true Western Australian, having lived everywhere from Como to Busselton.
When she’s not hitting the gym or traveling, you might find her on the volleyball court (where she admits she’s still learning!). Her current focus is her studies where she’s just one year away from earning her degree in Animal Health and Science. Her ultimate goal? To pursue Veterinary Medicine.
Her down-to-earth attitude and great sense of humour make her a favourite with both clients and coworkers.
