Houses, townhouses and apartment blocks: cleaning an Essendon home

In the ABS 2021 Census, Essendon’s 8,522 occupied private dwellings included 4,019 separate houses, 1,671 semi-detached homes, terraces and townhouses and 2,810 flats or apartments.

  • Two-storey townhouse or terrace: when you book a carpet clean, count every carpeted room on both floors, so the booking matches what needs doing.
  • Apartment in a larger block: plan the move first and the clean second, so furniture is out of the way before the cleaner arrives.
  • Any home: power and water have to be connected on the day of the clean, so leave the utilities on until it’s finished.

Moving out of an Essendon apartment block

Consumer Affairs Victoria says an owners corporation can make rules about moving furniture and other objects through common property where it affects other users, and about parking. Ask your property manager or the owners corporation what applies in your building before moving day, and tell us about parking or access when you book your clean.

Grass pollen season and our cleaning services in Essendon

If your move falls in late spring, it lands in pollen season. The Better Health Channel says Victoria’s grass pollen season usually runs from 1 October to 31 December, and that thunderstorm asthma can occur when there is a lot of grass pollen in the air and a specific kind of thunderstorm. It points to the Melbourne Pollen Count and Forecast app for pollen forecasts. For hay fever, its hay fever page suggests drying bedding and clothing inside or in a tumble dryer, and keeping pets out of bedrooms.

Moving day in Essendon: parking, skips and unwanted furniture

Essendon is in the area of Moonee Valley City Council. Here’s what it publishes about moving day.

  • Moonee Valley needs a Road Occupancy permit before anything occupies the road reserve, including parking an over-dimensional vehicle for more than an hour.
  • Shipping containers are never allowed on the road, nature strip, crossover or footpath, even when moving. Small PODS or TaxiBox units may be allowed only in special circumstances and must be delivered and removed the same day.

In Victoria, it’s illegal to put e-waste in household rubbish, so take old electronics to an e-waste drop-off.
