Time to get your house in order? We’re here to help.
Dust loves to cling to clutter. The more edges, nooks and crannies in your home, the better as far as dust is concerned. Before we can look at creating a pristine and dust-free environment, a process of de-cluttering and minimalist living should commence in earnest. For those customers who need a hand with this, we are more than happy to help with a 1st-class, gold-standard de-cluttering and organising service that will get your house into tip-top shape in a single day.
Imagine ~ a life of beauty and utility
The end goal is to enjoy a dust-free home and a minimalist approach. One that bridges the gap between not wanting to throw out the things we are fond of wholesale and primarily having our home filled with only those things we love and use on a regular basis. A life filled with beauty and utility is a dream life.
How a minimalist home promotes a peaceful life
This naturally entails having lots of beautiful open and non-cluttered surfaces in your home so that your ongoing cleaning efforts are easier and more efficacious. This matters whether you plan to do it yourself, use your favourite familiar cleaner or invest in a regular cleaning service with us to keep your home in tip-top order on an ongoing basis. The immediate goal is to get the clutter into see-through boxes so we can create a clean backbone within the home. We achieve this with our popular mini spring clean, as you can see here below, to release the energy we will need for the harder aspects of the de-cluttering process we will be working on later in the process.

Stage 1 of the de-cluttering and organising process
Firstly, stage one is our favourite approach of just putting all non-essential items into clutter boxes. This is a unique approach whereby we do not ask customers to face the potential trauma of having to choose what to throw out whilst paying an expensive person to standby and create a sense of urgency; we prefer to elongate that particular part of the process (choosing what to keep and what to throw out) and to have the client do that over time in their own time and if they prefer later in private. It can be an emotional and sometimes triggering process.
By putting all loose items in the home into these clutter boxes, we are able to expedite the cleaning process, which breathes new air and energy into the home for the other stages of the de-cluttering process ahead that normally get in the way and can feel too overwhelming creating inertia that can last for decades.
Stage 2 is all about giving the dust nowhere to hide
Secondly, once the clutter boxes are filled, we can then line them neatly against a wall in the home, and the inhabitants can then see the items they need regularly and can easily access them and pull them out. This way, the frequency of need of the items determines ultimately what we have out in the home. This achieves a home that is not only beautiful because of its minimalism but also functional. And very importantly easier and quicker to clean and to keep clean and dust free.
Stage 3 is about releasing energy
Thirdly, we are proud to have transformed not only the homes of thousands of our clients with this approach but also the energy available to the families that we de-clutter and clean for. It’s difficult to describe and quite esoteric to consider that when the house has been cleaned and cleared and new energy emerges inside the home that those people who live in such a space feel renewed energy. This renewed energy was previously being drained away by the dreaded need to keep the home clean and unconsciously knowing they were primarily spinning their wheels.
Stage 4 is all about abundance
And fourth, this happens because traditional cleaning methods send the microscopic dust airborne. Consequently, it can stay suspended for up to five days, resettling again once the clean is over. This requires cleaning again within a week in a never-ending cycle. Once the cleaning is effective by removing the dust, this energy is released and injected back into the family system. This can even have a positive impact on many areas of the family’s lives. Even in people’s careers, we have seen new openings for great things emerge. It is so pleasing to know you are helping people on obvious and subtle levels, such as these.

Frequently asked questions
Do you use non-toxic products?
Yes. In fact, when we first started the business, we were gravely concerned by the lack of suitable products available. And so, we went into the lab to create our own under the trademark EcoLove. Therefore, our products are fully non-toxic and use citrus acid as their primary cleaning constituent. Above all, they are pure and harmless to your loved ones, furniture and the environment.
What is your hygiene policy?
We find it disgusting to hear stories that cleaners are using the same dirty mop head all day long; from your neighbour’s bathroom into your kitchen come all sorts of unspeakable micro-nasties.
Ultimately, you get what you pay for and in the case of 1800 CLEANER we use fresh and hermetically cleaned cloths in every house and are constantly changing cloths throughout the day. Above all, our cleaners are equipped with fresh and well-organised cloth bags with numerous microfibre mop heads that are washed after every use.
How we deliver the best value
In addition, our cleaning services are oriented towards providing the best value to our clients and as such we do not charge by the hour. For instance and in our experience, when you pay a person by the hour they tend to work slowly and softly. And why not? They get paid all the same, so why not take it easy?
Certainly, we can understand that clients are trying to compare services and extract maximum value for their hard-earned cleaning dollars. But hourly rates are not the way. On the other hand, the solution is to pay for the finished job according to a predetermined list. And most importantly to have an agreement in place whereby the services on the list are guaranteed to be completed for the price paid.
For instance, we have found that paying hourly rates is a way to commoditise labour and the truth is that different people work differently and it’s impossible to find satisfaction with such an approach. Most importantly, with our method of starting with a big spring clean that extracts fine particle dust, clients can actually save money by using us fortnightly and achieve a superior result to traditional “cheaper” weekly cleaning approaches.

How do you deal with clutter?
In order to extract maximum value from their regular cleaning service, we work with our customers to reduce clutter over time. For those who need immediate help, we can add de-cluttering and organising services to their initial spring clean and get everything in order in a single day. Above all, the ultimate goal is to maximise open surfaces so cleaning is more efficacious and cost-effective and to also give the accumulating dust fewer places to hide.
As a result, imagine how very magnificent it is to return to a minimalist, dust-free and clutter-less haven.
