Three-bedroom homes, pets and pollen season: cleaning in Altona
Three bedrooms is the most common home size in Altona. At the ABS 2021 Census, 2,235 of its 4,803 occupied homes had three bedrooms and another 1,326 had two, while only 138 had five or more.
Our end of lease price is worked out from the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, so enter the real count in the booking form and you’ll see the exact price for your address before you send the request. Carpet cleaning is priced per room, which suits a move where only the bedrooms need doing.
Moving out with a dog or cat
In a Victorian rental, keeping a pet starts with a pet request form for each animal. The rental provider has 14 days to decide, and if they don’t respond at all, the renter can keep the pet, according to Consumer Affairs Victoria. The duty to keep the property reasonably clean and avoid damage still applies, and fair wear and tear is taken into account when pet damage is assessed.
Hobsons Bay City Council sets a maximum of two dogs and two cats on any one premises, with an additional animal permit needed to go over that. Cats and dogs over three months old must be registered, renewals are due by 10 April each year.
Pet hair works its way into carpet and collects along skirting boards. Book carpet cleaning for the rooms your pet used, and note any pet stains or odours in the booking form’s instructions field.
Cleaning in grass pollen season
In Victoria, the grass pollen season usually runs from 1 October to 31 December, says the Better Health Channel, and the Department of Health runs its epidemic thunderstorm asthma risk forecasts over the same months. If your move or spring clean falls then, a thorough vacuum and a wipe of sills and window tracks may help reduce dust and pollen indoors.
