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.

**Regular cleaner/housekeeper + ironing — Wright ACT

$120

Wright ACT 2611, Australia

30th Sep 2026

**Regular cleaner/housekeeper + ironing — Wright ACT** I'm looking for a reliable, experienced person for regular household help at my home in Wright. I'd ideally like **one person who is happy to do both general house cleaning and ironing**, rather than using separate services. For the first visit, I'd like approximately **3 hours** to: - do a general clean of my home; and - start working through a backlog of clean clothes that need ironing. I currently have approximately 100 garments waiting to be ironed (mostly women's tops, summer dresses and trousers/jeans). I don't expect all of these to be completed during the first visit — I'd simply like someone to progressively work through them. If we're a good fit, I'd like this to become **regular weekly help of around 2 hours**, primarily general cleaning with ironing as needed. I can provide the household cleaning products and ironing equipment if preferred. I'm looking for someone reliable and careful who is interested in **ongoing regular work**, not just a one-off clean. **Location:** Wright ACT 2611 **Initial session:** approximately 3 hours **Budget:** $120 — happy to consider offers based on experience.

We are a busy couple with two young children looking for some regular help around the house to keep things tidy, organised and under control. We’re particularly looking for assistance with general tidying, keeping the kitchen clean and organised, and helping with the everyday jobs that can be difficult to stay on top of with young kids. We’re hoping to find someone reliable, friendly and practical who can help us maintain a clean and welcoming home. We’re flexible about the days and times and would love to find someone who could become a regular part of our household routine. Price is for a 2 hour session - we would ideally love someone who could attend twice weekly if available, but even once weekly is great.

Thank you Rachel for our home organisation help. Very grateful!
