Local insight
What stands out in South Melbourne.
Many South Melbourne customers booked us once and by the hour. Hourly cleans, which we no longer offer, made up 51% of our 119 visits there from 2017 to October 2024, and 73% of visits with a recorded schedule were one-offs. The homes were mostly smaller, 67% of them 2-bedroom, which suits a suburb where 90% of occupied flats were in blocks of four or more storeys and 43% of households were one person living alone at the 2021 Census. Ten of the 38 households came back more than once, and 3 booked ten times or more.
