Tap water and hay fever season: cleaning notes for East Melbourne

East Melbourne is in the Parkville water sampling area, which the Victorian Department of Health’s list of drinking water suppliers assigns to City West Water, since merged into Greater Western Water. GWW’s 2024–25 drinking water quality report puts Parkville’s average hardness at 25 mg/L, and between 19 and 25 mg/L in each of the five years it shows, far below the 200 mg/L guideline value.

Pink marks on shower grout, shower heads, sinks or the toilet bowl are not a water quality problem either. Greater Western Water explains they come from airborne microbes that grow on damp surfaces and can come back within weeks, and it suggests keeping surfaces clean and dry, improving bathroom ventilation and using cleaners with chlorine or disinfectant.

Hay fever season and dust mites

Victoria’s grass pollen season usually runs from 1 October to 31 December, and the Better Health Channel points to the Melbourne Pollen Count and Forecast for daily levels. For house dust mites, its hay fever advice is to wash sheets, pillowcases and other bedding weekly in hot water, and to take sheepskins and woollen underlays out of the bedroom. Our carpet cleaning uses strong suction to lift loosened dust and pollen from the fibres, which may help reduce dust and pollen indoors.

Moving day in East Melbourne: parking, skips and unwanted furniture

East Melbourne is in the area of the City of Melbourne. Here’s what it publishes about moving day.

  • The City of Melbourne’s reserved parking permits cover removalists when off-street parking isn’t suitable. Apply at least five clear business days ahead; residents get 50% off for a removalist outside their own home.
  • A skip on a public road needs a skip permit, which the skip company applies for. Reserved parking permits don’t cover skips.
  • The City asks residents to donate, give away or sell hard-waste items in good condition before booking a collection.

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

Renting in East Melbourne

At the 2021 Census, 3.2% of occupied homes in East Melbourne were separate houses, 22.5% semi-detached, terrace or townhouses and 73.5% flats or apartments; 52.8% were rented.

With so many apartments, check whether your building asks you to book the lift or loading bay for moving day, and how keys, fobs and remotes are returned. Ask your building manager or owners corporation rather than assuming. When you know your moving and inspection dates, see end of lease cleaning in East Melbourne and our guide to moving out and getting your bond back.
