What changes house cleaning in Frankston
Renting near the centre
In the 2021 Census, 42% of occupied homes in the ABS's Frankston area were rented, against 16% in its Frankston South area. Half the Frankston area's rentals were separate houses, about a third were townhouses or semi-detached homes, and 15% were flats.
Plenty of one-person homes
Lone person households were 36% of households in the Frankston area. A one-bedroom unit is a far smaller job than a family house, so put the bedrooms and bathrooms in your note.
Bigger blocks in Frankston South
In 2022, 36% of land parcels in the Frankston South area were 1,000 square metres or more, compared with 8% in the Frankston area. On a big block, mention the driveway, the gate and any dog, so a cleaner knows how to reach the door.
Parking by the bay
Frankston City says street parking is mostly unpaid, the foreshore aside, and most off-street parking in the city centre is paid. If you're near either, tell the business where a cleaner can stop with a vacuum and buckets.
Frankston City hard waste
The council runs one city-wide hard waste collection each financial year. An extra paid pick-up needs at least 10 days' notice and takes up to 2 cubic metres, so book it early if you're clearing out a rental.
The four cleans Frankston house cleaners do most
Frankston sits on Port Phillip, 39 km south-east of the CBD, and the Frankston and Stony Point lines both end at its station. Most cleans here are one of four: regular, deep, move-in or end of lease.
Moving out of a rental? Victorian law asks you to leave it reasonably clean, allowing for fair wear and tear, and you can do that yourself or get a cleaner in. The end of lease clean in Melbourne page sets out the condition report and bond steps.
Staying put? A regular clean each week or fortnight suits a small unit, and a deep clean is the place to begin if it's been a while. Selling a Frankston South house? Book a pre-sale clean once the repairs are done and before the photos.
Our advice for Frankston renters: hard waste before cleaners
If you're leaving a Frankston rental, deal with the rubbish first. Book any extra hard waste pick-up at least 10 days out, so nothing is left on the floor on cleaning day. Then put your entry condition report on the kitchen bench and add a line about parking to your note.
