About

Built the way it is on purpose.

A new marketplace has nothing to show you yet: no reviews, no customer count, no years in business. What it can show you is its decisions, and those are checkable against the thing itself.

Who is behind it.

I started cleaning houses in Perth. Not running a cleaning business — cleaning. Doing the work, quoting it, and turning up to it.

What that teaches you is what a job actually costs in a day. The travel between suburbs. The oven nobody mentioned when they booked. The bond clean that fails an inspection over the tracks of a window frame. You cannot learn that from a spreadsheet, and you cannot price it from one either.

The work grew from Perth across the rest of Australia. And the more of it I saw, the clearer one thing became: the people doing the work carry the risk, and the platform in the middle takes the largest share of it. Cleaners paying for leads. Cleaners billed monthly whether or not a job ever arrived. A headline rate on an advertisement with the platform's cut still to come out of it.

So this is the version I wanted to exist. The cleaner sets the price and the client pays them directly. For jobs the platform brings, Black Wolf charges a disclosed 25% commission separately; a qualifying first job from a customer the cleaner brings has 0% commission. Nothing is charged for quoting, and there is no listing or monthly fee. The insurance certificate carries an expiry date, and the listing disappears the day it lapses. Only a client who actually booked the job can leave a review.

None of that is generous. It is what the work already was, before somebody put a platform in the middle of it.

It began in Perth. It covers Australia now. The next job is the rest of the world, without changing the part that matters.

7 decisions, and the reason for each.

Cleaners set their own price; clients pay them directly.
For jobs the platform brings, Black Wolf separately charges a disclosed 25% commission after the client pays. A qualifying first job from a customer the cleaner brings has 0% commission. There is no hidden markup on the client's price.
No listing fee, no monthly fee, and nothing charged for quoting.
If we do not send work, we should not be earning. A cleaner who quotes ten jobs and wins none has cost us almost nothing and owes us nothing.
An insurance certificate with an expiry date, and a listing that disappears the day it lapses.
Anyone can write 'all our cleaners are insured' on a page. It is worth something only if nobody has to remember to enforce it, so it is enforced by the query rather than by a person.
Only a client who actually booked the job can leave a review.
An unverifiable review is worse than no review, because it teaches people to trust a number that means nothing. It also means there are no reviews here yet, which is a fair thing for you to know.
The site tells you when it cannot help.
There is no cleaner in most cities yet, and the page says so instead of filling itself with people who are not there. That loses sign-ups today and is still the right trade: the first person who tests a claim like that tells everybody.
Cities are opened before customers are bought.
Advertising a cleaning service into a city with no cleaners creates customers with nobody to book. That is how a marketplace spends its money and damages its name in the same month, and it is why recruitment runs ahead of any advertising.
No invented numbers anywhere on this site.
No customer count, no review score, no thousands of happy homes. Every figure here is one the platform produces, which is why most of them currently read zero — and a zero you can trust is worth more than a number you cannot check.
