The Hiring Manager
XXXX Cleaning Services
Melbourne, VIC
Dear Hiring Manager,
I am writing to apply for the Cleaner position at XXXX Cleaning Services. I am a reliable, thorough worker who takes pride in leaving every space spotless, and I am available for early-morning, evening and weekend shifts.
In my recent cleaning work I cleaned offices and common areas to a high standard, followed safe chemical-handling procedures, and completed all areas within set times while working unsupervised. I am trustworthy, punctual and detail-focused, and I hold a current Police Check.
I would welcome the opportunity to bring my reliability and high standards to your team. My resume is attached, and I am available to start soon and happy to come in for an interview. Thank you for considering my application.
Kind regards,
Anna Kowalski

What should a cleaning cover letter include?
Lead with reliability, honesty and attention to detail, then state your availability clearly — most cleaning work is early morning, evening or weekend. Mention that you can work unsupervised, note any knowledge of safe chemical handling, and include a National Police Check if you have one, since many sites require it.
Can I get a cleaning job with no experience?
Yes, cleaning is one of the more accessible entry-level roles. Employers hire on reliability and trustworthiness more than on a work history. Mention any cleaning you have done, including at home, for family or while volunteering, and be explicit about your availability and willingness to follow instructions and safety procedures.
What hours do cleaning jobs usually involve?
Most commercial and office cleaning happens outside normal business hours — early mornings before staff arrive, evenings after they leave, or weekends. Domestic cleaning is more often daytime. Being clear and flexible about which shifts you can cover is one of the strongest things you can put in a cleaning cover letter.
