House Cleaning Kensington — Reliable Home Cleaners You Can Trust
Kensington is a boutique pocket of character homes between South Perth and Victoria Park, prized for its larger blocks and period detailing. Our regular and one-off house cleaning services keep them looking their best — fully insured, with trained cleaners who know older homes.
Character Homes That Deserve Careful Cleaning
Kensington is a peaceful, green suburb in the City of South Perth, sitting neatly between South Perth and Victoria Park and just minutes from the Swan River. It's known for character homes on more substantial blocks — including California Bungalows and early brick builds with period features, high ceilings, ornate cornices and established gardens.
Older character homes need a different cleaning approach. Dust settles in high cornices, picture rails and window sash tracks that modern flat surfaces don't catch. Timber floors and sash windows want gentle, appropriate products. And the larger, leafy blocks mean garden debris, pollen and cobwebs find their way in through the seasons. These homes reward a cleaner who knows where to look and treats period features with care.
Our house cleaning teams are experienced with Kensington's character properties. We work carefully around period detailing, use the right products for timber and heritage finishes, and give the high-touch and high-dust spots the attention they need — whether you book us weekly, fortnightly, monthly or for a one-off deep clean.

Regular, One-Off or Deep Clean — What's Right for Kensington
Character homes often benefit from a regular clean to keep dust and garden debris under control. Here's how the service types differ.
Regular Cleaning
Weekly, fortnightly or monthly visits that keep your home consistently clean. Popular for character homes with established gardens.
One-Off Cleaning
A single top-to-bottom clean — ideal before guests, after a renovation, or when you simply need a reset.
Deep Cleaning
Targets areas regular cleans don't reach — inside ovens, behind appliances, inside cupboards, skirtings, high cornices and detailed bathroom descaling.
Spring or Pre-Event Clean
A focused refresh before a special occasion or season — combine general cleaning with window cleaning and a garden tidy.
Character Homes — What's Often Overlooked
Period homes have a few trouble spots that build up grime faster than modern builds. These are the areas we focus on in Kensington.
High Cornices & Picture Rails
Dust settles on high cornices and picture rails in homes with tall ceilings. We dust them each visit.
Sash Window Tracks
Timber sash windows collect dust and grit in their tracks. We vacuum and wipe them so windows run smoothly.
Timber Floors
Older timber floors want the right mop and product — too wet and they swell, wrong product and they dull. We use the correct method.
Garden Debris & Cobwebs
Larger leafy blocks mean more pollen, leaves and cobwebs finding their way in. We clear them each visit.
Shower Glass & Silicone
Hard water leaves a film on glass and discolours silicone. Regular descaling keeps it clear.
If It's Not Up to Standard, We'll Fix It
We stand behind every house cleaning visit. If you're not happy with any area we've cleaned, let us know within 48 hours and we'll return to re-clean it at no extra charge.
Our cleaners are trained, insured and police-checked. For regular clients we assign consistent cleaners so they learn your home and your preferences over time.
How to Get the Most from Your Clean
A little preparation helps us work efficiently and deliver the best result.
Tidy Surfaces
A quick tidy of benches and floors lets us spend our time cleaning, not decluttering.
Note Your Priorities
Tell us if you'd like extra focus on high cornices, timber floors or bathrooms — we'll allocate time accordingly.
Keep Access Clear
Leave a key, organise a lockbox, or have someone let us in. We hold keys securely for regular clients.
Pets
Let us know about pets so we can plan around them.
Feedback Welcome
After the first clean, let us know anything you'd like done differently. We'll adjust for next time.
