Wantirna house cleaning and a shared postcode
A shared postcode
Wantirna and Wantirna South both use 3152, so the postcode alone won't place you. Add the street, and a landmark like Wantirna Mall if it helps.
Which side of EastLink?
The EastLink tollway runs through Wantirna with interchanges at Boronia Road and Burwood Highway, and Koomba Park sits between the tollway and Dandenong Creek. Say which side you're on, because two close addresses can be further apart by road.
A 1970s family suburb
Knox says young families flocked to Wantirna in the 1970s. In the 2021 Census, 90% of occupied homes in the Wantirna census area were separate houses, 10% townhouses and semi-detached homes, and flats under 1%.
Renters
Rentals made up 20% of occupied homes in the Wantirna census area, close to Wantirna South's 21%.
Deep cleaning a Wantirna family house, or leaving a rental
A house with decades of family life in it usually suits a one-off deep clean first: grout, exhaust fans, the oven and inside cupboards. After that a regular clean keeps it there.
Renting? Victorian law lets a rental provider claim the reasonable cost of cleaning from the bond only where the home wasn't left reasonably clean, judged against how it started. That's the test, and a professional clean can be required only in two set cases. An end of lease clean is usually a question of time, and you can do it yourself.
Where to put your own effort before Wantirna cleaners come
Worth doing yourself
- Empty and wipe the pantry and fridge shelves, since you know what's in them.
- Clear shower shelves and bench tops before the cleaner arrives.
- Run a load of tea towels and bath mats the day before.
Where a cleaning business earns its keep
- Grout lines, the shower recess and exhaust fan covers.
- Skirting boards, door frames and light switches.
- Inside windows and tracks, as an add-on.
Before you book, tell Wantirna cleaners how old the bathrooms are
Tell the business the age of the bathrooms and kitchen, not just the bedroom count. Original tiles, grout and shower recesses usually need more time than newer ones, and a quote that knows about them fits the job.
