Local insight
What stands out in Russell Lea.
Russell Lea is mainly houses, about 68% of occupied homes at the 2021 Census, but its flats are low-rise, with 64% of them in one- or two-storey blocks. Our own work leaned towards smaller homes: 41% of the 51 cleans we have completed here since 2018 were for 1-bedroom homes. Every 2 weeks was the usual schedule (57% of visits), and 3 of our 8 households booked ten times or more. We completed 2 cleans in Russell Lea in the last 12 months, the latest in October 2026. Bathrooms and kitchens came up among the comments, alongside friendly and polite cleaners.

How we collect and count feedback
These figures count bookings and feedback recorded for addresses in Russell Lea. 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 Russell Lea 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 Sydney 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.
