Local insight
What stands out in the Inner East.
The Inner East meant bigger homes for us: 58% of the cleans we have done across the region were for 3-bedroom homes, and Balwyn North (115 cleans) and Kew (93) were the suburbs we visited most, ahead of Box Hill (72) and Camberwell (71). Customers here leaned towards a routine, with every 2 weeks the most common schedule at 38%, just ahead of one-offs at 37%. Hourly cleans, which we no longer offer, made up 28% of bookings. Across 149 ratings customers gave us 4.7 out of 5, and the most frequent remark in comments was friendly and polite (20). Median rents stayed between $600 and $690 a week across its Homes Victoria areas.

How we collect and count feedback
These figures add up the published suburbs in the Inner East area. Repeat visits count separately, so cleans are not homes. Frequency shares use all recorded completed visits with a recognised frequency, including older history; they do not measure current demand. Customer records use distinct customer identifiers within one suburb, not verified home addresses, and are never summed across suburbs. Checked 15 October 2026.
Customer feedback is the rating a customer gave after a clean: each counts once, low scores included. Earlier feedback used “bad”, “OK” or “good”; those count as 2, 3 and 5 stars, the same equivalents we have always used. Comments quoted for Inner East are published comments from customers who rated the clean 4 or 5 stars. The average includes every rating.
Google reviews are a separate source, shown as the Melbourne listing reports them, and are never averaged together with our customer feedback. Across all locations: 4.6 / 5 from 9,890 customer feedback ratings; 4.7 / 5 from 781 reviews on our 6 Google listings.
