The bin cleaning jobs Melbourne homes ask for most

Every city has its own rhythm of bin cleaning, set by the homes people live in and the weather their bins sit in. In Melbourne, with a cool temperate climate that can swing through four seasons in a day and period homes with narrow frontages, hedged inner suburbs and a growing band of apartments, a handful of jobs come up again and again.

The regular household clean leads the list. Because the green-lid food-and-garden bin is the smelliest and most maggot-prone in summer, so it is the one most Melbourne homes book a clean for, most people settle into a recurring clean (from $10) that keeps the general waste bin fresh between collections rather than letting it turn.

The rescue one-off is close behind. A bin that has gone far too long, or has had a spill, a nappy blowout or a summer of food scraps, needs a full deep clean (from $25) with a sanitise and deodorise to actually reset it rather than just wet it down.

Commercial and strata work is the steady background. Cafes, offices, shops and apartment blocks in Melbourne book commercial cleaning (from $8 per bin) to keep the bin bay presentable and cut the odour complaints, with the larger bulk bins (from $30) handled on site.

Move-in and end-of-lease cleans turn up all year. Nobody wants to inherit a stranger's bin, and a final inspection can turn on the small things, so a move clean (from $30) is a cheap tidy next to the rest of an exit clean.
