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.

Wardrobe declutter + photograph and list clothes for sale

$350

Fitzroy North VIC 3068, Australia

17th Sep 2026

Hello! I’m moving very soon and need a capable, efficient person to help me tackle a large wardrobe that has become completely overwhelming. I have years of clothing to sort, including quality corporate wear and some unworn pieces with tags from brands such as Acne Studios and Reformation. I need help to: • Work through the wardrobe with me and quickly sort everything into KEEP, SELL and DONATE • Organise and pack what I’m keeping for the move • Bag and separate donation items • Identify what is genuinely worth selling and suggest sensible prices/platforms • Photograph, measure and write descriptions for the best items • Create and publish approximately 10-20 priority listings on Depop and/or Facebook Marketplace • Keep a simple inventory of listed items, prices and status I’m recovering from spinal surgery, so I’ll make the decisions, but need someone to handle most of the sorting, folding, bagging, photographing and uploading. I’d love someone fast, practical and non-judgmental who genuinely enjoys decluttering and organising wardrobes. A good eye for fashion and experience selling clothes online would be ideal. Most importantly, please be warm, down-to-earth and have a sense of humour! We’ll start with a coffee and tackle it together. I need someone decisive and as turbo as me, but also lovely company—five hours inside someone else’s wardrobe is surprisingly intimate. This task is for up to five hours on Friday 18 September in Fitzroy North. For the right person, there may be follow-up work listing remaining items and managing enquiries, offers and sales admin. When applying, please tell me briefly about your relevant wardrobe decluttering, organising or online resale experience, and whether you would be interested in the potential follow-up work. Budget: $350 for the initial five-hour session.

Organise a kitchen cupboard

$125

Docklands VIC 3008, Australia

15th Sep 2026

I'm in an apartment at 689 Latrobe (in the free tram zone if you're coming in this way!) and I've got a very deep pantry cupboard that I need some help to reorganise! I've got a set of shelves that I'll put together (photo attached of the box) for the main large shelf in the middle of the pantry. Just needing someone with some organisation skills to move everything / tidy it up / throw out expired items so I can 'suprise' my partner when she's back after months of talking about doing it They shelves are REALLY deep so it's not practical and needs some good organisation and a cleanout in the process. I'll provide the items to clean it out / wipe it down and you'll just have the ability to tidy it up. It's nothign too arduous but I'm terrible at organising and I'd rather someone who knows what they're doing, help me out and make it workable. Without making you stay longer than needed, it's prbably an hours worth of work at most and I'll get you started by having the top and bottom shelves unpacked and I'll help as needed to repack it. Feel free to ask any questions, but I think the fee is pretty fair if you've got some experience and creative abilities to help a useless corporate guy!

5th Sep 2026

Ongoing 3-weekly cleaning & light decluttering for a 2-bed, 2-bath Southbank apartment (2 adults, 2 dogs & 1 cat).

All cleaning equipment provided and happy to purchase preferred supplies. Ideally Thursdays, Fridays or weekends. Budget approx. $180 per clean.

Carla was absolutely amazing! She was incredibly thorough, attentive to detail, and did a fantastic job throughout our apartment. Everything was left beautifully clean and organised, and she went above and beyond what we expected. We were so impressed that we’ve already arranged to have her back regularly. 10/10, would absolutely recommend Carla and happily work with her again!

Help unpack and organise apartment

$220

Abbotsford VIC 3067, Australia

2nd Sep 2026

I'll be moving into a 2-bedroom apartment in Abbotsford this weekend and I'm looking for experienced unpacking/organising help to get everything set up quickly. Ideally looking for 2 people for approximately 4 hours on Sunday 6 September. The main priority will be unpacking and organising the kitchen, but I'd also love help with: * Unpacking and organising the kitchen, pantry and appliances * Unpacking books and putting them away in my TV unit * Putting clothes away in built-in wardrobes * Unpacking linen and towels and organising them into available storage/under-bed storage * Unpacking other straightforward household items * Making sensible use of cupboard and storage space * Flattening boxes and consolidating packing materials as we go I'll handle any particularly personal/private items myself, so those can simply be left boxed or put aside. I've downsized into an apartment, so I'd especially appreciate people who are good at organising and making efficient use of storage, rather than simply taking everything out of boxes. I'll be there to answer questions and make decisions about where things should go. Location: Abbotsford Date: Sunday 6 September Time: Flexible, after 11am Estimated duration: Approximately 4 hours Please let me know about your previous unpacking/home organising experience and whether you're applying individually or as a team of two.

Amanda was amazing! Friendly, efficient and so helpful with unpacking my entire home in so little time. Will absolutely hire again, thanks Amanda 🙏
