Klean Bean Collective

What’s not in a standard clean

Last updated: June 2026  ·  Our exclusion list

We love a thorough clean — but a few tasks sit outside a standard Klean Bean clean. We’re upfront about them so there are no surprises, our team stays safe, our $20M insurance stays valid, and your results stay consistent.

Good news: most of the items below can still be arranged as a specialist or add-on service. If you need something on this list, just ask and we’ll quote it separately or point you to the right specialist.

Heights & safety

  • Anything beyond safe reach (above a 2-step ladder)
  • Exterior windows above ground level
  • Roofs, gutters and downpipes
  • High ceilings, beams or light fittings out of safe reach

Biohazards & bodily fluids

  • Blood, urine, faeces or vomit
  • Used needles, sharps or drug paraphernalia
  • Any cleanup posing a health or infection risk
