Houses, townhouses and flats: the homes of Canterbury

Getting the booking right for a bigger home
- For an end of lease clean, the booking form works from bedrooms and bathrooms, so enter every one in a larger house to see the right price.
- For carpet cleaning, list each carpeted room.
- In an apartment block, ask your owners corporation or building manager about parking and moving equipment through the common areas before cleaning day.
Pollen season and condensation: cleaning tips and our services in Canterbury
According to the Better Health Channel, Victoria’s grass pollen season usually runs from 1 October to 31 December, when asthma and hay fever can increase; pollen counts and forecasts are on the Melbourne Pollen Count and Forecast. Its hay fever page suggests washing bedding weekly in hot water, drying bedding and clothes inside or in a tumble dryer, and keeping pets out of bedrooms.
Mould needs moisture. The Better Health Channel’s mould page says the cheapest way to cut indoor moisture is to open a door or window, and recommends exhaust fans when showering, cooking or running the dishwasher, venting clothes dryers outside and cleaning their lint filters, and keeping mattresses off the floor. Cupboards and corners with poor air circulation are worth checking before an inspection.
