Why Handover do you need?
Moving Out
Leave it better than you found it or meet your lease's cleaning requirements without the last-week scramble.
Moving In
A previous owner's or tenant's home, ade yours before a single box come in.
Post Construction
Fine dust in ever corner. Film on every surface. This clean uses a two-step vacuum and wipe down to make your new home or renovation actually feel complete.
Why Homeowners Choose the Upkeep
Built for Empty Room
No furniture to work around means we go further - inside every cabinet, every closet and every corner a regular visit may not catch.
We know construction dust is not regular dust
Post-construction film settles into every vent, light fixture and window track in a way that a standard clean can't fully lift. We treat it as it's our job, not an upsized version of The Housewarming.
Fragrance-Free
We source cleaning products that meet the highest standard of green. W want your first impression to be chemical free.

Frequently Asked Questions
Am I required to do the Housewarming Service (our deep clean) before starting The Upkeep?
No. but it's recommended if you haven't been getting regular housekeeping services. This top-to-bottom deep clean allows us to provide your home a full reset - catching up areas that might have been overlooked that won't be possible during a routine clean.
