The Great Cleansed Space Hi there! I’m Elena — mum to three little humans (including twins), partner to an incredibly patient man, and the heart behind The Great Cleansed Space.

What started back in 2021 as a small organising and decluttering business has grown into a full-service cleaning company supporting families right across our community. Along the way, I realised something pretty important: most people aren’t “bad” at housework — they’re just stretched thin. Today, The Great Cleansed Space is made up of an incredible team of women (mostly mums), all juggling real life alongside their work. We’re down-to-earth, non-judgemental, and genuinely care about the homes and families we support. Many of us are time-poor parents ourselves — so we get it. Our goal isn’t perfection. It’s relief. It’s walking into a home that feels lighter, calmer, and more manageable. Whether you book us occasionally or we become part of your regular routine, we’re honoured to be part of your “village”. Running a business like this is incredibly rewarding — and also incredibly exhausting at times — but it’s work I’m deeply proud of. Thank you for trusting us with your space, your time, and your homes. Sometimes adulting is just too much to do alone. We’re here to help. 🤍

You can be perfectly capable of cleaning your own house and still pay someone else to do it.

I’m capable of washing my car too. Doesn’t mean I’m spending Sunday bonding with a bucket.

Being able to do something doesn’t magically create the time, energy or desire to do it. Especially when you’ve already spent the week working, parenting, organising everyone’s lives and answering “what’s for dinner?” like you’re running a restaurant.

Sometimes you want help because you’re overwhelmed.

Sometimes you just really don’t want to clean the bloody shower.

Both are perfectly acceptable reasons.

You don’t need to be falling apart before you’re allowed to make life a little easier. 💚

WE’RE TAKING THE MOP A LITTLE FURTHER AFIELD! 🙌

And I’m a bit bloody excited about it.

We’re opening up regular cleaning spots in Mount Morgan, Bouldercombe, Westwood, Wycarbah, Stanwell and Alton Downs—plus more availability in Gracemere!

One of our newest team members would love to build up her work in these areas, and I love that this gives us the chance to help households we haven’t been able to reach before 💚

Because living a bit out of town doesn’t mean you enjoy scrubbing showers any more than the rest of us.

Weekly and fortnightly cleans are available Monday–Friday, starting now. We’ll be grouping bookings by area, so let us know where you are and we’ll chat about suitable days.

Our standard home cleaning rate for new clients is $60 + GST per hour ($66 including GST).

We also provide NDIS and DVA cleans. And if you’ve got an office, workplace or other commercial space needing a reliable clean, we’d love to chat—we already look after a few commercial clients too.

Know someone in these areas who’s been saying “I just need a bloody cleaner”? This might be their sign 😂 Tag them or send this their way!

Pop your details into our booking enquiry form and we’ll get back to you about what you need and available spots:
https://app.zenmaid.com/book/the-great-cleansed-space-1760002200

Or send us a message here on the page.

Very excited to see where this takes us 🥰

No Cleaning Talk Wednesday 💚
This one isn't really a question.
It's just a little reminder to appreciate your people.
The friend who always checks in.
The person who listens to you complain about the same thing for the 14th time.
The family member who always shows up.
The partner who knows you've had a rough day and brings you your favourite thing without asking.
The person who makes you laugh when you really need it.
Sometimes we assume people know how much we appreciate them, but it's always nice to actually say it.
So if there's someone in your life who deserves a little appreciation this week…
tell them. ❤️
And if you're reading this and you've been that person for someone else lately — you're probably doing better than you realise. 💚

A Heartfelt Note from Me. 🤍

Over the past few weeks, some of our clients have experienced cancelled cleans, changes to their usual arrangements and notice that’s come far too late. I’m truly sorry for the disruption and frustration this has caused.

It’s heartbreaking to feel that we’re becoming unreliable, because I’ve worked so hard to build a business that people can count on. Finding the right team, doing things properly and earning your trust have mattered to me from the very beginning. It hurts knowing that, at the moment, some of your experiences haven’t reflected that.

We’ve had a combination of team members on leave, illness, family emergencies, a team member moving on from the business, and changes to some team members’ availability. With several of these things overlapping, we’ve had very little room in the roster to cover the gaps.

These are real life circumstances that we’re trying to navigate with care for everyone involved. But I know that explanation doesn’t give anyone back their missed clean or the time they’ve spent rearranging their day. We understand why people are frustrated.

There is so much happening behind the scenes that isn’t always visible. We’re reviewing applications, interviewing, onboarding and training new team members, while working through the changes to our existing clients’ cleans.

As much as I want to fill those gaps quickly, I don’t want to throw someone into the deep end just to fill a space. We need good people who do thorough cleans, turn up reliably and feel confident in the homes we’re trusting them with. They need time, guidance and support to get there.

Everyone goes through difficult seasons, and this is one of ours. I care deeply about this business, our team and the people who welcome us into their homes. That’s why I want to be honest about where we’re at.

I’m asking you to please stand by us while we work through this. I know patience isn’t something we can take for granted, especially if you’ve already been let down. We’re grateful for every bit of it, and we know we need to follow these words with consistent action.

Thank you to everyone who has shown us kindness and given us the opportunity to put things right. It means more than you know.

Elena 🤍

🧽 Cleaning Tip Tuesday 🧽

There's a Reason We Clean from Top to Bottom!

Ever wondered why professional cleaners tend to work their way down a room rather than starting wherever looks dirtiest?

There's actually a pretty good reason!

Dust and debris fall downwards, so if you've already cleaned your floors and then start dusting the shelves, you're potentially undoing some of your hard work.

We generally start with higher surfaces and work our way down, leaving the floors until towards the end.

It's a simple little habit, but it can save you from cleaning the same area twice.

And honestly, nobody wants to vacuum the same room twice if they don't have to. 😂💚

FROM THE GCS DESK ✨☕

There's been a lot happening behind the scenes at GCS lately!

We're currently welcoming new team members, with two cleaners working through onboarding and training alongside Tara. We also have another lovely person planning to join us in January.😊

We've been working on improving our training process and refreshing our team handbook to help our cleaners feel confident, prepared and supported before taking on their own clients.

We'd also love to give Mae a little recognition for the wonderful work she's been doing. Learning a business from scratch is no small task, and she's been doing an excellent job getting to know our clients, team and systems while keeping everything running smoothly. We're so grateful to have her as part of GCS!💚

We're hoping to start contacting people on our waitlist next week, once training and availability are confirmed.

If you'd love a regular clean or just need a once-off helping hand, send us a message and we'll happily add you to our waitlist!

Thank you to everyone who's been patiently waiting. We look forward to helping more local households soon.

Amy's thought from the admin desk this morning…

There are very few things that make me nervous quite like opening a message that starts with:

"Amy, don't hate me, but…"

Oh, here we go. 😂

Because I can almost guarantee whatever follows is about to require some creative thinking and possibly a complete rearrangement of my day.

And look, I never actually hate anyone for needing something changed. Life happens!

But I do think anyone sending a message starting with those four words should be legally required to include a coffee voucher.

It's only fair. 😂

No Cleaning Talk Wednesday 🎵
We need new music recommendations!
What's currently on repeat in your car?
And I mean actually on repeat.
The song you've played so many times that everyone else in the car has started begging you to change it. 😂
Could be something brand new, something you've rediscovered, an old favourite or that one song you currently can't get out of your head.
Drop your current favourite below because our playlists could probably use some help. 😂👇

🧽 Cleaning Tip Tuesday 🧽

More Cleaning Products Doesn't Mean More Clean!

Ever thought that using two different cleaning products might get something extra clean?

Unfortunately, it doesn't quite work that way! 😂

Some products can react dangerously when mixed, while others simply aren't designed to be used together. Even using one straight after another can be risky if the first hasn't been properly removed.

Our advice? Stick to products designed for the surface you're cleaning, follow the instructions and never mix cleaning chemicals.

Especially bleach with other cleaners — that can be genuinely dangerous.

Sometimes keeping things simple is the safest and most effective way to get the job done! 💚✨

🤎 MEET JESS S – YOUR BOOK-LOVING CLEANING FAIRY 🧚‍♀️

Jess has been part of The Great Cleansed Space team for almost FOUR years, helping take a little of the mental load off families and creating clean, welcoming homes along the way 😊

Outside of work, Jess is a busy mum of two who’s involved in her local school P&C and loves being part of her community. Working school hours means she can be there for drop-offs, pick-ups and all the family commitments in between.

She’s also a big bookworm who loves a creative project, even if she admits she sometimes takes on more than she should!

And something you might not know? Jess is writing her very own novel! After getting lost in so many other people’s stories, she decided to have a go at creating one herself. We’ll be keeping an eye out for her name on the bookshelf one day 📚🤎

A few more things to know about our cleaning fairy…

🎧 Her cleaning soundtrack is audiobooks, hands down! There’s usually another story on the go while she works.

☕ Her drink of choice is coffee. And depending on the day, she might need more than one. Very understandable 😂

🦸‍♀️ Her dream superpower would be the ability to be in two places at once. Between work, kids and school commitments, a spare Jess would come in pretty handy!

🤎 One of the lovely surprises of her time at GCS has been the friendships she’s built with clients. Some connections have grown into much more than a cleaner popping in each week, and that means a lot to her.

😂 Her favourite part of being on the team? The people, the different personalities and being able to have a laugh together.

And her advice for anyone thinking about joining us?

“Give it a go! If you’re reliable, willing to learn and take pride in your work, it’s worth considering. It can be hard work, but it’s satisfying to see what you’ve achieved at the end of the day.”

We’re so glad you’re part of our village, Jess. Thank you for almost four years of helping care for our clients and their homes 🤎
