Brooklyn house cleaning: old houses, old dust
Old houses, old dust
Brooklyn's houses run from simple villas of about 1895 and bay villas of about 1910 to California bungalows, state houses from 1930 to 1940, and bungalows from about 1960. High ceilings, picture rails and sash windows gather dust, so mention them.
Hill streets and narrow corners
Metlink routes 7, 17 and 29 serve the suburb, and buses have been known to get stuck on its narrow corners. Tell the business where a car with cleaning gear can stop.
In the council's southern ward
Brooklyn is part of Wellington City Council's Paekawakawa/Southern General Ward, so it's the city council's rubbish and recycling that applies when you clear a place out.
A big suburb
Brooklyn had 2,568 dwellings at the 2023 Census, from the few old cottages left to newer bungalows, so no two cleans here look quite the same.
Brooklyn cleaners for old villas, living in or leaving
Leaving a flat in one of the old villas? The end of tenancy clean, aimed at the inspection. Living in one? A fortnightly clean keeps on top of the dust, and a deep clean once a year gets the sash tracks and the picture rails.
Sashes and steps: our Brooklyn house cleaning advice
In an older villa, ask for the sash windows, tracks and high skirting to be listed in the quote, and say how many steps lead up to the door. Those two details change the job more than the number of bedrooms.
