Who comes The deep clean Your round Where we come Ask us to start

The same three of us, every visit.

House cleaning every week or fortnight, from Glenelg down to Seacliff and up to the foothills, and a deep clean when the house needs one. We bring the cloths, the vacuums and the ladders. You leave us the key.

Build your roundAsk us to start

Enter folds it. Arrows move the corner. Space lets go.

One house, three pairs of hands.

Each of us has a cloth and a share of the house, and all three work at once. Unfold a cloth to read whose rooms are whose.

  • The bench, the splashback and the stovetop, wiped and then dried
  • Cupboard fronts, then the sink and the taps
  • Shower screens before tiles, tiles before the floor
  • Mirrors last, with the fan left running
  • Beds stripped, and made again the way you make them
  • Dusting around your things, never through them
  • Towels folded the way yours are already folded
  • The last cushion back where it was
  • Vacuum on rugs and carpet, a damp mop on timber and stone
  • The ladder out for high shelves and ceiling fans
  • Back to front, so nobody walks on a finished floor
  • A last pass at the mat, then we lock up

It's the same three people every time, at the same time of day. By the second visit we know which doors stick, which rug slides and how you like the bed made.

You don't explain your house twice, and you never open the door to someone you haven't met.

Three pairs of work shoes side by side on the mat inside a front door, beside a stack of folded blue tea towels.

The wet rooms first.

A hand drawing a folded blue tea towel along a stone bench wiped to a soft sheen.

We start at the top and work down, from the back corner forward. The bench, the splashback and the stovetop are wiped, then dried, so the stone comes up with a sheen, not streaks. Then the cupboard fronts, then the sink and the taps. In the bathrooms we do the screen before the tiles and the tiles before the floor, and we leave the floor edges for whoever's on floors.

Bathroom cloths travel in their own bag and never come into your kitchen.

Meanwhile, the beds are stripped and the windows are open.

And the chairs are up, the rugs rolled, the stairs started from the top.

Down the hall, the bathroom dries with the fan on.

Two hands turning a white sheet down over a freshly made bed.

Beds made the way you make them.

If you leave fresh sheets out, we put them on. If you like a turned-down top edge, you'll get one. Cushions go back where they were. We dust around your things, never through them, and we fold towels the way yours are already folded, because we look first.

What we leave alone

  • The study desk.
  • The spare room, when family's staying.
  • The glass cabinet.
  • Anything with a note on it.

Under the beds next, then the hall.

By now the bins are in and the tea towels are in the wash.

What we bring. Our own cloths, washed hot between houses. Our own vacuums, and a ladder. If you'd rather we used something of yours, leave it on the bench.

The last cushion goes back.

Floors last, from the top of the house down.

A vacuum resting on a timber stair with a blue tea towel folded over its handle.

We start on the top floor and work down, from the back of the house to the front door, so nobody walks on a floor that's done. Rugs and carpet get the vacuum. Timber and stone get a damp mop, and timber is never wet. The ladder comes out for high shelves and ceiling fans. The last pass is at the front door, and our shoes go back on at the mat.

The deep clean, all three of us at once.

  • The oven, racks and all
  • Inside the windows, frames and tracks
  • Skirting boards, all the way round
  • Cupboard fronts, handles included
  • Grout, line by line
  • Blinds, slat by slat
  • The fridge, and behind it

The oven comes apart, racks and all, and goes back together clean. The fridge is emptied shelf by shelf and put back the way you had it. The grout gets a brush, line by line.

Blinds are done slat by slat. Windows are cleaned on the inside, frames and tracks too. Cupboard fronts are washed, handles included.

Skirting boards all the way round, behind the furniture we can move, and the floors last, once the dust has come down.

A house usually needs one when someone's moving in or out, after the builders, or before family comes to stay. Most houses take the three of us a day, and we'll tell you before we start if yours will take longer. In your round, each deep job is stitched into its visit’s cloth with the stitch you see here.

Your round, one cloth for every visit.

Tick your rooms and how often we come, and the next twelve visits come back as a pile of cloths. Every visit has the basics. The deep jobs take turns, so no visit runs long.

    The top cloth: visit 1.

    The basics.

      Times are how we plan. Your first visit sets your own.

      If one of us is sick, the other two come.

      We tell you the evening before. The two who are well come at the usual time, stay a little longer, and do the rooms you care about most first.

      Bedrooms and living rooms, off sick. Back next visit.

      The kitchen, the bathrooms and the floors are done in full. Bedrooms get fresh sheets and a lighter dust.

      If two of us are down, we don't send someone you haven't met. We find another day with you.

      Where we come.

      Glenelg, Glenelg South, Glengowrie, Somerton Park, Brighton, South Brighton, Hove, Dover Gardens, Seacliff, Kingston Park, Marino, then up through Seacliff Park, Seacombe Heights, Seaview Downs, Warradale, Oaklands Park and Darlington to the foot of the hills.

      A suburb or two past these? Ask us.

      Leave us the key.

      Your key goes on its own ring with a plain numbered tag: never your name, never your suburb. Between visits it's locked away, and it's back in your hand the day you ask for it. When we leave, we lock up behind us, and our shoes go back on at the mat.
