Thank you Matthew !! You’re a legend. We would highly recommend Matthew and his team, after our first Airtasker didn’t show up the day of the lease expiry, Matthew took on the job the same day and completed a brilliant end of lease clean. Very reliable, very thorough, a very hard worker! Thanks again, would definitely use again. Dave

Thanks to Melissa our bedrooms and study are now looking organised for the first time since we moved in six months ago! Melissa is efficient, makes great recommendations and knows how to make clever use of small spaces, and where before I felt like we didn’t have enough storage, we now have a whole empty cupboard. We will definitely be having her back for “round 2” to work on the rest of the house!

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.

Weekly House Help – Cleaning, Laundry & Household Support

$5

Alphington VIC, Australia

21st Jun 2025

Hi, we’re Aaron & Zoe — a driven, ambitious couple living in a three-storey townhouse in need of some much-needed home support. We both work long hours and, as much as we love nature, travel, and good food, life has become overwhelming and the house is feeling it. We’re looking for someone kind, reliable, and detail-oriented to bring care, calm and consistency into our home each week. We’ve broken the role into two weekly scopes — you can apply for either or both depending on your strengths and what you enjoy most. SOW1: House Cleaning & General Home Care • Deep cleaning: bathrooms, kitchen, oven, sinks, and toilet • Vacuuming & mopping: tiled entry, timber living area, stairs, and carpets upstairs • Weekly linen change: sheets, pillowcases, and towels • Tidy-up and managing day-to-day household clutter • Loading/unloading dishwasher • Taking out and bringing in bins • Occasional light organising (pantry, cupboards, study shelves, etc.) • Watering of indoor plants, balcony pots, and a small herb garden (existing or new!) (We have excellent equipment — Dreame vac & Dyson wet mop) SOW2: Laundry, Ironing & Clothing Care • Washing and drying laundry using in-home washer/dryer • Ironing: shirts, dresses, jackets, pants, etc. • Folding, hanging, and putting away clothes with care and neatness • Drop-off/pick-up of dry cleaning (if convenient and nearby) No pets or kids — just two people doing our best, with a house that needs love and consistency. We’re kind, respectful, and want someone who enjoys helping create order in others’ lives. We’ll provide guidance early, then trust you to work independently. Visitor parking is across from our garage; street parking is nearby. Access via the garage. Security cameras may be active in all areas except bathrooms. Please include the scope(s) you’re applying for, your experience, your rate/cost, and how long you’d expect the job to take. Looking forward to finding the right person to be part of our weekly rhythm.
