A cleaner and a handyman do not usually share the same phone number. For many Melbourne homeowners, that means managing several providers for the same property.
One company handles the cleaning. Another takes care of repairs. A third may look after the garden or other maintenance tasks.
Over time, managing a property can start to feel like managing a small supply chain. Each job means another call, another quote and another appointment.
Essential Touch brings cleaning and property maintenance together, giving homeowners and property managers one team to contact for a wider range of everyday property needs.
Regular Cleaning Covers More Than a Basic Home Clean
A regular home clean can cover several areas in one visit. Most bookings include kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms and living spaces.
Essential Touch offers several cleaning options, including:
- Residential cleaning: Standard home cleans start from $129 and include a 24-hour return-and-fix guarantee if the team misses something.
- End of lease cleaning: Pricing depends on the property size, with a 72-hour re-clean window if a report identifies an issue.
- Carpet steam cleaning: Many homes benefit from professional carpet cleaning every 12 to 18 months. Homes with pets or allergy concerns may need more frequent cleaning.
- Commercial and Airbnb cleaning: Teams can schedule cleaning around guest arrivals, inspections and other property requirements.
Using one cleaning team for different services can make property upkeep easier. Instead of requesting separate quotes from several businesses, you can discuss multiple jobs with one provider.
Property Maintenance Does Not Always Wait for the Weekend
Cleaning often follows a routine. Maintenance usually does not.
A blocked gutter may become obvious after heavy rain. A loose fence panel may create a problem during strong winds. A dripping tap can become a larger repair if nobody deals with it early.
Regular maintenance can help property owners identify these issues before they become more expensive problems.
Services can include:
- Gutter and downpipe cleaning
- Pressure washing
- General handyman repairs
- Door and lock repairs
- Tap and light fitting repairs
- Blind repairs
- Garden and lawn maintenance
- Seasonal garden clean-ups
- Property condition inspections
- Photographic reports for landlords and property managers
A regular maintenance schedule can help keep a property in better condition and reduce the need for unexpected repair work.
One Phone Number Makes Property Care Easier
Combining cleaning and maintenance can simplify property management.
For example, a cleaning team may notice a dripping tap, loose fitting or damaged area while working inside a property. When the same provider also handles maintenance, the team can flag the issue and help arrange the next step.
This approach can prove particularly useful for landlords and property managers who look after several properties.
Instead of coordinating separate cleaners, handymen and garden services, they can discuss multiple requirements with one provider. This can reduce the number of calls, inspections and appointments needed to keep each property in good condition.
Essential Touch Brings Cleaning and Maintenance Together
Essential Touch provides cleaning and property maintenance services from its Moonee Ponds office.
Its services include residential cleaning, end of lease cleaning, carpet steam cleaning, commercial cleaning, Airbnb cleaning, gardening and property maintenance.
Standard home cleaning starts from $129. Homeowners can also ask about maintenance requirements during the same enquiry rather than arranging a separate appointment with another business.
This approach keeps property care simple. One provider can handle regular cleaning while also helping with everyday maintenance needs.
For homeowners, landlords and property managers, that means fewer contacts to manage and a simpler way to keep properties clean, functional and well maintained.
