Local insight
The fortnightly clean was the habit of the Inner South: 47% of the 517 visits we have completed across the region were booked every 2 weeks, against 34% for one-offs. Brighton accounted for 139 of those cleans, the most of any suburb, followed by Glen Iris (88) and Elsternwick (71). Hourly cleans, a service we no longer offer, were 22% of bookings, and deep cleans 11%. Winters here are damp: at Moorabbin Airport, afternoon humidity climbs to 70% in June against a 59% average, so bathrooms and window sills are worth extra attention in the colder months. Rents across the region's 9 Homes Victoria areas ranged from $600 to $835 a week.

“Ruth was on time and did a great job. However, it would have been more economical if we had two cleaners as arranged for as our place is quite large. Consequently Ruth was here for quite a long time. This not a criticism of Ruth, who was excellent, but the organisation for the day.”
“Awesome team, very professional, thorough and polite.”
“The team was absolutely amazing, within an hour they had cleaned every inch of my apartment. Sokki is a miracle worker and got my oven so clean it literally looks brand new. They were all so lovely, came in with big smiles and got straight to work. Will definitely be requesting them again.”
“very pleasant experiance and a clean house - fabulous!”
“Amazing team that cleans and is polite and lovely. thank you”
“Raj i& Deekipa are lovely and they are very efficient. Very impressed with my first service. Thanks”
“Loved the little touches - made beds, neatened piles, very thorough”
“Ruvini is fabulous ☺️ We love having her help us with keeping our house clean - she is great to communicate with and no task is ever an issue. We are very lucky ☺️”
“Followed my instructions well. Thank you.”
“best cleaners i've had, cheerful, hard working and did a great job”
“Hi, cleaners were great, thank you. I found they were finished in 2 hours with 2 people, it worked out a little expensive I thought, maybe next booking you might re-consider the price you charge? Thanks...”
“Tammy Team were wonderful, quick and efficient, also happy to do things I thought they'd missed accidentally, it was their first visit so I appreciated their willingness to become used to my standards. Tammy and Brian, lovely, thankyou :-).”

These figures add up the published suburbs in the Inner South area. Repeat visits count separately, so cleans are not homes. Frequency shares use all recorded completed visits with a recognised frequency, including older history; they do not measure current demand. Customer records use distinct customer identifiers within one suburb, not verified home addresses, and are never summed across suburbs. Checked 14 October 2026.
Customer feedback is the rating a customer gave after a clean: each counts once, low scores included. Earlier feedback used “bad”, “OK” or “good”; those count as 2, 3 and 5 stars, the same equivalents we have always used. Comments quoted for Inner South are published comments from customers who rated the clean 4 or 5 stars. The average includes every rating.
Google reviews are a separate source, shown as the Melbourne listing reports them, and are never averaged together with our customer feedback. Across all locations: 4.6 / 5 from 9,890 customer feedback ratings; 4.7 / 5 from 781 reviews on our 6 Google listings.
