You keep your yacht out on Viaduct Basin looking sparkly clean in the City of Sails, so why not keep the outside of your house clean too? The weather in Auckland is known for being beautiful, but that often means overgrowth on your paved areas, dustiness and dirt accumulating under the eaves of your verandah, and dirty rain spattered windows to clean.
Whether you live in Mission Bay, Morningside or Mount Albert, you’ll be able to have a professional cleaner come to you to have your exterior home and outside surrounds sparkling with life again in no time.
What tasks can an exterior cleaner do?
The range of services an exterior cleaner can undertake is quite varied. Generally they will be available for both interior and exterior cleaning (in case the inside needs a good clean too) and may also do gardening and other odd jobs.
The range of cleaning services they offer will usually include the following:
If you are specifically after eco-friendly products to be used outside, make sure that you arrange that in advance. Cleaners can work with chemicals for their cleaning processes or with natural products, or with simply a high pressure water hose for water blasting, which is the alternative to scrubbing off dirt and growth by hand.
What rates do outdoor cleaners charge?
The rates between different cleaning contractors vary. You may be able to find cleaners that are just starting from around $15 an hour but you will be expected to provide the cleaning materials for them. They may also not have insurance to work from heights, so make sure you ask if this is going to be a part of your cleaning package.
Otherwise you can expect to pay up to $60 an hour for professional cleaning. If you want the job done faster, many contractors can work in teams but obviously this will be more expensive.
The cleaning costs may also instead be charged, rather than by an hourly rate, on the square meterage to be covered and the surface type that needs cleaning.
How long will external house cleaning take?
This will depend on what size project you have. Generally, any exterior cleaning works will be completed within an hour to a day, unless the house or area that you’re getting cleaned is very dirty.
Tasks that require working from heights like window cleaning and gutter cleaning will take up more time too, due to safety precautions that need to be taken.
