Top Housekeepers related questions

A housekeeper can be responsible for a range of household tasks, from cleaning and organising, to laundry and cooking.
A housekeeper should be competent in completing basic household chores to a high standard. They should have meticulous attention to detail and be able to follow instructions.
Yes. Some household tasks may require trade specialists - this is generally beyond the skills of a housekeeper. Most housekeepers also focus on areas inside the home - not outside/garden maintenance.

Some people have a daily housekeeper, others get help in once a week, once a month, or just on special occasions to help them get caught up.

Housekeeping agencies are popular, but they don’t offer as much flexibility and control. Hiring a housekeeper directly means you can choose your preferred housekeeper, based on ratings, reviews, and skillsets.

The cost of housekeeping depends mainly on how many hours you’d like your housekeeper to work. On Airtasker, people typically spend $60-$150 on housekeeping services.

If you’re looking for related services near you, some of the most popular on Airtasker right now include End of Lease Cleaning, Apartment Cleaning, Maid Service, Steam Cleaning, and Couch Cleaning. Whatever you need done, you can post a task and get offers from local Taskers near you.

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 vacuuming, mopping, dusting, and bathroom cleaning. Or it might include detail cleaning tasks like couch, curtain, floor, fridge, 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.

Organisation - declutter

$180

Beaumaris VIC 3193, Australia

4th Aug 2026

Home Organisation & Decluttering Needed – ASAP I’m looking for an experienced organiser to help tackle two rooms that have become quite overwhelmed. To be completely honest, they’re in a bit of a state and I need someone who genuinely enjoys sorting, organising and bringing order to chaos. The job includes: * Sorting through clothing and miscellaneous items * Folding and hanging clothes * Decluttering and removing rubbish (where directed) * Organising wardrobes, drawers and storage * Creating practical, tidy spaces * Making up one bed The rooms are: * 1 x Kids’ bedroom * 1 x Spare room There is a fair amount of clutter and sorting required, so I’m expecting this will take several hours. I’m not looking for a basic cleaner—I’d love someone who is organised, efficient, non-judgemental and happy to help make sense of the mess. Potential ongoing work: If we’re a good fit, I’d love to have someone help organise the rest of the house and potentially assist with regular weekly cleaning and organisation. Location: BAYSIDE Looking for someone who can start ASAP

House deep clean & organisation for 4 br in north manly starting early

$600

Brookvale NSW 2100, Australia

3rd Aug 2026

I require I believe two cleaners to do deep clean of 4 br house and start before 9am so I can show you around and go over jobs to do. It would include back patio clean aswell and folding and putting away clean clothes. Also general organisation to declutter and present well. I also require removal of extra rubbish but if this is not possible I can remove this myself and this removal if possible would be at extra money. I do believe to get all jobs completed could take a full day. The clean would include moving some funiture to clean under and some draws to clean out. This could lead to regular clean but the spring clean would be needed to get up to standard. I am happy to give your opinion on rearranging and putting things in rubbish pile for me to go through to declutter to manage house moving forward. Some Cleaning equipment needed to be supplied by you. Please ask any questions and pics attached Thank you
