What kind of clean?

We find the cleaner. The cleaning business quotes, cleans and invoices you directly.

Otago's coast, lakes and Central

The Otago Regional Council is based in Dunedin, and the region's five local councils are Dunedin City, Queenstown-Lakes, Central Otago, Clutha and Waitaki. The major centres are Dunedin, Oamaru, Balclutha, Alexandra, Queenstown and Wānaka, with Mosgiel at about 15,100 people.

Any clean can be sent from anywhere in Otago, and down here the holiday home clean is usually a crib clean.

Cold is the common thread across Otago

Dunedin averages about 50 ground frost days a year, while inland Alexandra and Queenstown average about 117 each (NIWA, 1991 to 2020). Central Otago has frosty winters, hot dry summers and some of the driest country in New Zealand.

The 2023 Census puts the share of Otago homes that are damp at least some of the time at 14.4%, with 9.2% carrying mould bigger than an A4 sheet sometimes or always. In a cold house the mould sits where the heat doesn't reach, so name those rooms when you send a clean.

Cleaning Otago's student flats, cribs and short stays

Otago's renting runs from Dunedin's student flats to holiday homes and short stays around the lakes. In 31.0% of Otago households, the home isn't owned by the people in it or held in their family trust (2023 Census).

Moving out anywhere in Otago, the rule is the national one: reasonably clean and tidy, and cleared of everything you brought. The bond and tenancy rules page sets out the bond and the Tenancy Tribunal.

Questions

Questions about cleaners in Otago

Is a crib clean different from a holiday home clean?

No, it's the same clean. Crib is the word for a holiday home in the southern half of the South Island, and the holiday home clean covers it.

Which Otago towns have their own page?

Dunedin and Queenstown, plus Dunedin's end of tenancy page. Oamaru, Wānaka, Alexandra and the rest use the same form with their own address.

When the cleaning business rings

  • Know how many bedrooms and bathrooms there are, and any extras you want done.
  • Moving out? Have your property inspection report and the day the keys go back.
  • Think about getting in: keys, parking, stairs, and any pets home on the day.

Cleaner Scout passes your clean to a local cleaning business. They quote, clean and invoice you themselves. We don't clean, and we don't employ cleaners.
