In Warrnambool, damp is the local house cleaning issue

More rain than Melbourne

Warrnambool sits west of the Otway Ranges, so yearly and winter rain is much higher than in Melbourne. The airport averages 729.7 mm over 116.0 rainy days a year. In a wet week everything dries slowly, including a freshly mopped floor.

Mould and your rental

Consumer Affairs Victoria says rooms in a rental must be without mould and damp caused by or related to the building structure, and habitable rooms, including the bathroom and laundry, need adequate ventilation. If the building's the cause, take it to your rental provider.

Moving day in the rain

Wet boots on a clean floor is the local problem. Get the removalists finished before the clean starts, leave a doormat out for the last walk through, and say where a cleaner can park close to the door.

The houses

In the 2021 Census, 83% of occupied homes in the City of Warrnambool council area were separate houses, 11% were townhouses, terraces or semi-detached, and 4% were flats or apartments. Rented homes made up 28%.

What cleaning services a wet Warrnambool home needs

A regular clean does more in a damp town than you'd expect. Bathrooms, floors and kitchen benches that get wiped every week or fortnight don't get a chance to go musty.

A deep clean in spring takes on what the wet months left behind: shower grout, window tracks, range hood filters and the marks behind doors. Ask for the inside windows add-on if the frames are bad.

Finishing at Deakin's Warrnambool campus or South West TAFE and moving out? An end of lease clean is the job. A move-in clean gets an empty place ready before your furniture comes in.

Warrnambool mould you should leave alone

Don't dry brush mould, because the brush can flick spores into the air. Pregnant women, children and people with weakened immune systems or chronic lung disease shouldn't remove it or be nearby while it's removed. If large areas keep growing back, consult a mould remediation professional.

Sort the moisture, then book cleaners: our Warrnambool advice

Sort the moisture before you sort the clean. Use the exhaust fan or open a window each time you shower or cook, and vent the clothes dryer outside. For a small patch, mild detergent or diluted vinegar is enough. Book the deep clean once the home has had a chance to dry, so it stays done.

Questions

Questions about house cleaning in Warrnambool

Is a carpet steam clean worth it in a wet month?

Only if the carpets need it, because a rental provider can require a professional clean only in Victoria's two set cases. In a wet month, tell the business if you need the carpet dry before the final inspection.

Can I send a job from Port Fairy or Terang?

Warrnambool sits on the Princes Highway between them. Put your own postcode in the form, and cleaning businesses near you see the job.

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.
