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.

I work full-time. I have two kids and I have chronic fatigue which makes all of this difficult and I need to watch my activity levels so I can keep functioning! For now I’m wondering I am looking for help for two hours to just help me get ready for my sister and her family who are coming to stay for three nights next weekend. The types of things I’m looking for help with are to tidy the house (not a full clean but putting things away/tidying up so I can put the robovac on), clean the kitchen, quick clean of the bathroom (not a full deep clean) and just other odds and ends. Any time on Friday would be great. Needing someone reliable, honest, multi-skilled and with their own cleaning equipment. Let me know your quote when you can. Thanks

Sarah was great getting the house tidy and clean!

Tidying up

$120

West Wollongong NSW, Australia

14th Oct 2025

I am tidying up. I have stuff in bags ready to go down to the car for the Salvos, and then at the same time, I need a pile created for a tip run. I have things in the Granny flat for these 2 tasks and I also have stuff to move from the back room up to the Hot House. I am currently packing a lot of this stuff, so that all we need to do is just move the bags. There are NO big items to be moved or anything like that. At the same time, I need things moved from the back verandah to near the clothes line and I will need help to go through them - again stuff for the Salvos and stuff for the tip. I also have some items on the Granny Flat verandah that need to be moved down to the clothes line and also again sorted into Salvos pile and tip run. Im not able to do a lot of movement as my back will start to hurt, so I need someone to help me with these tasks.
