Regular House Cleaning in Christchurch

Regular house cleaning is the one service where the same cleaner matters more than anything else. Someone who cleans your home every fortnight learns where things go, which surfaces mark, and that the bathroom fan has never worked properly. Someone new each time cleans to a checklist and misses all of it. PrestigePro cleans Christchurch homes weekly, fortnightly and monthly, police vetted and $5 million public liability insured. WEEKLY, FORTNIGHTLY OR MONTHLY — HOW TO CHOOSE Fortnightly is the most common and it suits most households. Two weeks is roughly how long a home stays genuinely tidy after a clean before the bathroom and kitchen need real attention again. Weekly makes sense with children at home, pets, someone working from home full time, or a household where nobody has time to do anything between visits. It costs more per month but each visit is shorter, because the property never gets far from clean. Monthly works for smaller households, couples who are out most of the day, or people who do their own maintenance cleaning and want the deep work done for them. Be realistic though: a month is long enough that each visit is closer to a reset than a tidy, and it is priced accordingly. If you are not sure, start fortnightly. It is easy to move either direction after a few visits, and we would rather adjust than have you paying for a frequency that does not fit. WHY THE FIRST CLEAN IS DIFFERENT Your first visit takes longer than the ones after it, and that is normal rather than an upsell. A home that has not been professionally cleaned recently has build-up that a regular visit is not scoped to fix — soap scum, oven grease, limescale, dust on top of doors and in tracks. Trying to do all that inside a standard visit means the rest gets rushed. Most clients start with a deep clean and then move onto a schedule, which is why regular clients get 20-30% off it. After that reset, each visit is short, because it starts from a clean baseline. Over a year that usually costs less than repeated one-off cleans. WHAT REGULAR CLIENTS GET Up to 30% off deep cleaning on a weekly schedule, 20% on fortnightly and 10% on monthly. Discounted window cleaning. And no lock-in contract — we do not use fixed terms, because a schedule you cannot leave is not a service, it is a trap. Notice is simple and stated up front, which means we have to keep earning it. THE SAME CLEANER, AND WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THEY ARE AWAY You get the same police-vetted cleaner each visit. When they are sick or on leave we tell you in advance, send someone briefed on your home rather than whoever is free, and go back to your regular cleaner afterwards. That matters for security as much as standards. Letting a stranger into your home is a decision, and it should not happen without you knowing. WHAT IS INCLUDED Kitchen benches, sink, splashback, stovetop and appliance exteriors. Bathrooms — shower, bath, toilet, vanity, mirrors, floor. All floors vacuumed and mopped. Dusting of surfaces and reachable ledges. Beds made if you would like. Bins emptied. Tidying of visible clutter into sensible places rather than hidden away. Not included as standard: inside the oven, inside the fridge, windows beyond a spot clean, carpet steam cleaning and wall washing. Those are periodic jobs — we can add any of them to a visit or handle them separately. ACCESS AND BEING HOME You do not need to be home, and most clients are not. We hold a key or a lockbox code under a signed agreement, with access limited to your assigned cleaner. Some people prefer to be there for the first visit to walk through what matters to them, which is genuinely useful and we recommend it. EVERY KIND OF CHRISTCHURCH HOME Standalone houses, townhouses, apartments and units, and older villas and character homes. The schedule is the same; what changes is the time each visit takes. Apartments and townhouses are usually quicker, and body corporate buildings sometimes have access or lift requirements we work around. Villas and character homes take longer than their floor area suggests — high ceilings, ornate skirting and architraves, sash windows, and original timber floors that need the right product rather than a mop and whatever is under the sink. We quote on the property rather than a bedroom count, which is why the walkthrough matters. PRICING From $90.85 per visit including GST on a weekly schedule, $102.35 fortnightly, or $44.85 per hour including GST for custom arrangements. Price depends on the size and condition of your home, and we confirm it before starting.
