The cleaning demands of Hawthorn's period homes and modern apartments
Hawthorn's period homes span three architectural eras, each with distinct cleaning requirements. Victorian homes (1850s–1900) have Baltic pine floors, plaster cornices, marble fireplaces, and cast-iron lacework — all needing pH-neutral, non-abrasive care. Edwardian homes (1900–1915) add red-brick exteriors, tessellated tile verandahs, and wider hallways with timber fretwork. Federation homes (1910–1930) introduce more complex joinery, leadlight windows, and Arts-and-Crafts-style timber detailing.…
