The cleaning demands of Preston's separate houses and new townhouses
Preston's housing stock is defined by its transition. The original post-war weatherboard and red-brick houses — still dominant along streets like Gower Street, Murray Road, and Cramer Street — have hardwood timber floors (often covered by carpet in the 1970s and since exposed), plaster cornices at standard 2.7-metre height, and large rear yards that track dirt through back doors.

Family home cleaning across Preston's large-block houses
Preston's separate houses — sitting on blocks that average 500–650 m² before subdivision — give families the backyard space that inner Melbourne largely lacks. That outdoor space means more dirt, grass, and mud tracked through rear entrances and laundries than you'd find in a Northcote terrace or Brunswick apartment. Your matched housekeeper factors this in: HEPA-filtration vacuuming at entry points…
