What does a housekeeping service include?

Housekeeping services can include one-off services or regular domestic tasks (daily, weekly, or fortnightly), from cleaning and cooking to even home maintenance. Your housekeeper will bring along all the products and equipment they need to clean and maintain your home - all you need to do is tell them what you need done. Here’s how they can help:


Cleaning 

The most common housekeeping service involves cleaning. This could include general cleaning, like vacuumingmoppingdusting, and bathroom cleaning. Or it might include detail cleaning tasks like couchcurtainfloorfridge, and rug cleaning. Depending on the number of tasks you’d like your housekeeper to complete, they may clean for just an hour, or up to the entire day. Your housekeeper will discuss a time that’s convenient for you, the tasks you need done, and the timeframe it should take to complete these tasks. If needed, they can bring their own cleaning supplies, like a vacuum cleaner and feather duster. 


Organising and tidying 

Many housekeepers offer professional organising services, where they help organise and tidy all areas of your home. This includes desks, filing cabinets, stationery, linen, wardrobes, toys, kitchen cupboards, garage interiors, and more. They’ll pull out all the items, organise them by category, and help you choose what you should keep, donate, or bin. They’ll also help by recommending suitable storage solutions to help you keep your home tidy for longer.


Cooking 

Some housekeepers are available to help with cooking in your home. They might prepare a few snacks, or help prep several meals ahead of time so you don’t have to worry about cooking. Your housekeeper will present menu and recipe options for you to choose from and use your ingredient and kitchen supplies to cook everything in your kitchen. Once they’re done, they’ll store the freshly cooked food (with heating instructions) and clean up any mess.


Laundry

Washing and ironing starting to pile up? Housekeepers can help by putting on loads of washing, hanging clothes, loading the dryer, folding washing, ironing, and even putting it away. They’ll check the care labels to ensure appropriate washing/drying methods are used before they start the process. With some extra help, you’ll be all caught up on the laundry in no time.


Home maintenance

Many housekeepers are skilled in basic household maintenance tasks. But if they’re unable to do the job themselves, they’ll help organise and oversee skilled contractors who can help do repairs and maintenance in and around your home.

Tidy, general declutter and housekeeping duties 3 bed 2 bath apartment

$25

Abbotsford VIC, Australia

19th Jul 2025

Offering $25/hr Hi! I’m a new mum with a one-week-old and a two-year-old, currently recovering from a C-section. I’m looking for someone to come and give our apartment a good tidy-up and help us get back on top of things while I focus on recovering. I’ll be around to guide you on what to keep or toss, but mostly just need an extra pair of hands to get everything back in order. Ideally, I’d love for this to be done as soon as possible — over the next few days would be perfect. This isn’t a cleaning role (we already have a regular cleaner), it’s more about tidying, organising, and decluttering. That said, I’d appreciate it if any cupboards, drawers, or surfaces you’re organising could get a quick wipe-down too. I’d love to get the whole apartment done in one big session or split over two half-days if that’s easier. Spaces to cover: • 1 x kitchen • 1 x living room • 1 x hallway with cupboards • 2 x bathrooms • 3 x bedrooms General tasks: • Fold and put away laundry • General tidy-up and light housekeeping • Organise, declutter, and tidy surfaces, cupboards, and drawers throughout • Help organise clothes in wardrobes and drawers • Put simple organising systems in place if needed • Wipe clean any drawers, cupboards, or surfaces as you go • Take out rubbish/recycling to the loading bay • Drop off suitable items to a charity shop if possible Let me know if this sounds like a good fit! Thanks so much.

Thank you Catherine for coming over so promptly to support me with apartment organising post baby. Catherine was super kind and personable, it was lovely to meet her and chat to her in my apartment. Catherine was prompt, considerate, trustworthy and efficient and did a great job with all the tasks I had asked for help on. Thank you again, would recommend :)

Blackburn South VIC 3130, Australia

19th May 2025

My wife and I have 2 kids (two and one year old) so taking care of the house is a challenge. Basically we need a maid once a fortnight to help with the house chores. The tasks will include the following: - Washing and change of bedding - Cleaning kitchen and bathroom - Mop and vacuum - Toy cleanup Ultimately we dont need a professional cleaning team, just one person who can help make our house more organised and liveable. We provide free lunch and infinite supply of barista made coffee :) We are looking to pay around 30 per hour Also I will add photos soon

First off all Adrienne was lovely and a pleasure to deal with In terms of the cleaning she did a very good job, perhaps not to the same level as professional cleaners. In terms of tidying and making things neat and yet easily findable she dis an exceptional job and this is where most professional cleaners are lacking
