Cleaning and Housekeeping

Periodic Housekeeping

Homes that are used only during holidays or annual visits still need looking after. Periodic Housekeeping arranges cleaning and upkeep visits at agreed intervals, so your property stays fresh and ready whenever you or your family arrive.

About this service

A closed home in Chennai does not stay clean for long. Dust settles through window gaps, humidity brings musty smells and mildew, and stagnant water in traps and tanks can cause odours or mosquito breeding. Periodic housekeeping addresses this with visits every few weeks or months, depending on your needs. Each visit includes dusting, floor cleaning, airing the rooms, running taps and flushing toilets, and wiping kitchen and bathroom surfaces.

This service differs from Regular House Cleaning, which is designed for occupied homes with weekly routines. Periodic housekeeping is built around absence: it focuses on preventing deterioration and keeping the property presentable rather than handling daily mess. Before you arrive for a visit, we can schedule an additional, more thorough clean so the home is ready on the day you land.

Flourrish manages access and keys, coordinates the housekeeping staff and shares a short update with photos after each visit. If the service provider notices leaks, dampness, pest signs or electrical issues, we report them so you can decide whether to arrange repairs. For owners who want more structured inspections, this can be combined with our vacant property care services for a fuller picture.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from vacant property care?

Periodic Housekeeping focuses on cleaning and keeping the home fresh. Vacant property care adds structured inspections such as lock, leakage and electrical checks. Many owners combine the two.

How often should visits happen?

It depends on the property and how long it stays closed. Fortnightly or monthly visits are common, and we can suggest a frequency after understanding your situation.

Who holds the keys?

Keys can be held by a relative, a neighbour or Flourrish under our key management arrangements. We will agree the approach with you before the first visit.

What will it cost?

Charges depend on the size of the property, visit frequency and checklist. We share the applicable charges before starting.
