House cleaning in Ponsonby
Making life easier, one clean at a time
Ponsonby households tend to be busy in a very particular way. Long working weeks, a social calendar that fills itself, and a villa that looks wonderful when it is in order and cluttered and dusty within days when it is not. The homes along Franklin Road, Richmond Road and the streets between them were built with beautiful detail and very little regard for how long it takes to clean. Gentle Earth provides weekly and fortnightly house cleaning in Ponsonby so that your home stays in the state you want it without you giving up your evenings.
Villas look after you, not the other way around
Character homes have features that collect dust as a matter of design. Deep skirtings, architraves, picture rails, panelled doors, sash windows and timber floors all need consistent, correct attention. Renovated Ponsonby homes often add glass, open plan kitchens and living spaces where every surface is visible, which is lovely and unforgiving in equal measure.
Our cleaners work through a standardised residential checklist at every visit. Bathrooms include the shower and bath scrubbed, the toilet cleaned including base and behind, tapware, mirrors, vanity tops, window sills, cabinet fronts spot cleaned, towel rails wiped, floors vacuumed and mopped, and rubbish emptied with bags replaced. The kitchen covers benchtops, backsplash, sink and tapware, cupboard and drawer fronts, the exterior of the fridge, stove, dishwasher and benchtop appliances, and the interior of the microwave. Bedrooms, hallways and living areas are dusted, wiped, vacuumed and mopped, with beds made and changed when fresh linen is provided.
We do the parts you never get to
We are not a quick wipe down service. Our clients stay with us because of the details, and in a Ponsonby villa there are plenty of them. Tops of door frames, light switches and door handles, cabinet fronts with marks removed, skirting boards and trims, window sills, and light fittings and ceiling fans where they can be reached safely.
Your first visit brings the home up to our maintenance standard and the weekly or fortnightly cleans that follow keep it there. If you would rather we focused on the kitchen, bathrooms and living areas than the whole house, that works too. Add-on tasks including blinds, the inside of the oven or fridge, kitchen cupboards inside and out, and wardrobes or linen cupboards lightly organised are available on request before a visit.
A cleaner you trust, every time
Having someone in your home is personal and we treat it that way. Every Gentle Earth cleaner is vetted, fully insured and comprehensively trained, and we choose only team members who align with our values of integrity, family first, and a grateful and positive attitude. We aim to send the same cleaner to your Ponsonby home each visit, and our detailed home notes mean that a different cleaner still delivers exactly the clean you know.
Before leaving, our team checks the stove and oven are off, taps are off, toilets are not running, doors are locked as required, windows are as found and the temperature is set as you left it.
