House cleaning in Lismore: high set homes and the flood

High set homes

Many homes here are built high set, with living areas upstairs and the ground floor left open. Older ones are timber weatherboard reached by outside stairs, so tell the business about the stairs and the space underneath.

The 2022 flood

The Wilsons River reached 14.37 metres in 2022, the largest flood since modern records began, and more than 3,000 homes in Lismore were affected. If your home was among them, tell the business up front.

A wet, humid climate

Lismore has a humid subtropical climate with ample rainfall. NSW Health says mould may grow in wet or moist areas without good ventilation, so damp ground floors and closed rooms are worth watching.

Renting here

In the 2021 Census, 27% of occupied homes in the City of Lismore council area were rented, and 51% of those through an agent. If there's no agent, your bond still goes through NSW Fair Trading, and the final inspection is with the landlord.

Mostly houses

In the 2021 Census, separate houses made up 84% of occupied homes in the City of Lismore council area. Southern Cross University also has a campus in town.

After a Lismore flood, a house cleaner isn't the first call

Large or returning mould and flood clean-ups need a specialist. Don't dry brush mould. Carpet and other soft materials may need professional cleaning or replacing. Many homes built or renovated before 1990 contain asbestos, so don't dry sweep or vacuum broken material that might contain it. Pregnant women, children and people with weakened immune systems or chronic lung disease should stay out while mould is removed.

When Lismore cleaning services are the right call

Once any repairs and specialist work are finished and the home's dry, a deep clean deals with the dust and marks left behind. For everyday upkeep, a regular clean every week or fortnight works well.

Handing back a rental? The end of lease clean comes after your things are gone, and the NSW bond rules explain what's asked of you. Moving in? Ask about a move-in clean.

Fix the moisture before paying Lismore cleaners: our advice

Fix the moisture before you spend anything on cleaning. If you've got a damp smell, marks that keep coming back, or a home that went under, get the source dealt with first. A clean on top of a damp problem won't last, and you'll end up paying for it twice.

Questions

Questions about house cleaning in Lismore

Can a cleaner handle flood damage?

Not the main clean-up. That needs a restoration or mould specialist. A house cleaner comes in at the end, once the home's dry and any repairs are done.

Do you cover Goonellabah?

It's in the City of Lismore council area. Enter your postcode and nearby cleaning businesses see the job.

My rental has a mould problem. What should I do?

Tell your agent or landlord in writing and take dated photos. If there's a leak or a building fault behind it, that needs fixing at the source, which a cleaner can't do.

When the cleaning business calls

  • Have the number of bedrooms and bathrooms handy, and anything extra you want done.
  • Moving out? Have your entry condition report and the date the keys go back.
  • Think about access: keys, parking, stairs, and pets that will be home.

Cleaner Scout passes your clean to a local cleaning business. The business quotes, does the work and invoices you directly. We don't clean, and we don't employ cleaners.
