Whether it’s decluttering the house, the garden or the garage, here’s a few businesses who can help get that spring-clean job done.

It’s time to pack up the winter woolies because spring has sprung.

There’s no better way to get set for summer than with a good spring clean.

Whether it’s decluttering the house, the garden or the garage, here’s a few businesses who can help get the job done.

Experienced packers that save time and stress

THE local team at House to Home are experienced packers who have been helping Canberrans get their property ready for sales, renovations, insurance work, downsizing and relocating for over 10 years, says co-owner Renee Le Grande.

“Our expert team will save you hours of time and stress by packing all your personal belongings, household items, right through to packing up the shed,” she says.

“The team offers a personalised service and recognises every client is different and has different needs and expectations.

“Some people want the kitchen, bathroom and wardrobes packed, others want everything that is in a cupboard or behind a closed door.”

Renee says they also offer a full walk-in walk-out service, where clients hand over their keys and the staff completely clear the property, remove the furniture, take necessary items to a charity store, get the old property cleaned, and set everything up again in the new home.

Certified cleaners produce satisfying results

ACT Carpet & Floor Cleaners offer three main lines of cleaning – carpet cleaning, tile and grout cleaning and flood restoration – says certified technician Frank Bartorilla.

“We are certified for all three of those areas, and there’s not many in Canberra that are actually certified. Doing the job well and making sure you’re satisfied is our number one priority” he says.

“I’ve been doing this work for six and a half years.

“ACT Carpet & Floor Cleaners is a five-star rated, locally owned and operated business.”

Frank says ACT Carpet & Floor Cleaners give out a bottle of stain remover and free top ups with every job.

“And for carpet cleaning, people can go online and get an instant quote. They don’t have to ring us up or anything, they just punch in the number of bedrooms in the house, put the living room in, the hallways and the stairs and we’ll give them a quote, and it’s pretty accurate,” he says.

“Customers can take advantage of our fast book online as well.”

Leigh loves working with water tanks

AFTER establishing Leigh’s Water Tank Cleaning eight years ago, owner Leigh Maxwell says the successful two-man business has been thriving ever since.

They can vacuum-clean plastic, galvanised and concrete tanks, and also provide liners and repair cracks. 

“We use an underwater camera and monitor, as well as remote start/stop and full-throttle control on our pumps, to ensure a complete and efficient clean, with minimal water loss,” Leigh says. 

When it comes to spring cleaning your tank at home, Leigh likes to remind his customers that having a water tank “is low maintenance, not no maintenance.”

“Don’t forget to clean out gutters, leaf screens and drain your first flush system and if you are still putting up with brown water after recent rain events, give us a call,” he says. 

The business is based in Picton, but services the area from Hawkesbury down to the Snowy Mountains, with many jobs in the Canberra region.

“I really enjoy my work and sorting out problems for people,” Leigh says. 

“Our customers are always happy to see us and we get great feedback for our customer service – we turn up when we say we will and return all our calls.” 

Leigh says the Australian Government Department of Health recommends that water tanks be inspected every two to three years for accumulation of sediment, which can lead to harmful bacteria building up and possibly causing health issues. 

“If you’ve got a water tank that runs your washing machine and flushes the toilet, you can potentially have the dirt and dust washed in, which also damages the systems,” he says.

Cleaning to suit any space

IN Detail Cleaning Services offer carpet steam cleaning, spot and stain removal and end-of-lease carpet cleaning services, says director Luca Di Zillo.

“We are known for our range of high-quality, yet affordable cleaning services for floor coverings, upholstery, car seats, mattresses and more,” he says.

“Multiple clubs across Canberra and Queanbeyan enjoy our high-quality service featuring our commitment to provide an unsurpassed level of attention to detail and service excellence.”

Luca says In Detail is known as an affordable carpet-cleaning service.

“Prices start from just $40 per room. Our carpet-cleaning treatments typically take anywhere from one to three hours, depending on the size of the space,” he says.

“Having your carpets professionally cleaned creates a healthier environment for your family and pets.

“If you want to remove stains from your carpet, then steam cleaning is the best option.

“It uses hot water and chemicals to break down the dirt and grime that has accumulated on your carpet. Steam cleaning is more effective than other methods when it comes to removing pet urine and other stains.

Luca says they also have allergy and bacteria treatments.

“Our allergy and bacteria treatments are an effective way to keep nasties at bay. We recommend this treatment every six months,” he says.

“Our allergy and bacteria treatments are hypoallergenic – using non-toxic and dye-free products.”
