The quiet life by the Tomaga, kept manageable
Plenty of people who settled in Tomakin came for the quiet life by the Tomaga River and never left. Now they're older, the house is the same size it always was, and keeping on top of it has gotten harder. That's where we come in. Capital Coastal Cleaning does regular domestic cleaning for older residents here, including people on a Home Care Package, so the home stays clean and safe without anyone having to climb, kneel or scrub their way through a Saturday.
We're a small local team, just Tyson, Shanice and Lisa, and that matters more for this kind of work than any other. You get to know who is walking through your door, and we get to know your place and how you like it done, because a three-person business can't hide behind a roster and wouldn't want to. We're Indigenous-owned, police-checked with Working With Children Checks, fully insured and open 7 days, and we hold a 5.0 across more than a hundred Google reviews. For a regular in-home clean, that trust is the whole point.
Your case manager arranges it, we turn up and clean
If you have a Home Care Package, your cleaning can be funded through it, subject to your provider agreeing it fits your care plan and budget. We clean for clients whose packages are managed by providers like My Home Care and Goodwin. That means your case manager or coordinator can arrange the visits and the paperwork side, and we just turn up and do the clean. You don't have to chase invoices or sort out the billing on the day.
For a lot of Tomakin clients, the package covers a fortnightly or weekly visit. We keep the same day where we can, because routine is part of what makes home care work. If your hours or your plan change, we're easy to reach on 0479 184 498 and we'll adjust the visit to suit. We aren't a big franchise putting you on hold, we're the people actually doing your clean. Cleaning is our standard $60 an hour plus GST, itemised on the invoice.
Sand on the floor is a slip risk, not just mess
Tomakin sits right at the mouth of the Tomaga River, with the beach a short walk away, and sand finds its way inside no matter how careful anyone is. For an older resident that sand on a hard floor isn't just mess, it's a slip risk. We mop and dry floors so they aren't left wet and slick, and we keep entry tiles, kitchens and bathroom floors clear of the grit that tracks in off the river and the beach.
Bathrooms get particular attention for the same reason. Salt air and damp make tiles and the base of a shower slippery, and that's exactly where a fall is most likely. We clean shower bases and bathroom floors so they're safe to stand on, and we keep an eye out for anything that has come loose or built up that could trip someone. Slip-safe floors are the part of this job we take most seriously, because in a Tomakin home with sand coming in year-round it genuinely keeps people on their feet.
Coastal homes that need a steady hand, not a holiday blitz
A lot of our Tomakin work is fast holiday-let changeovers, where we blast through a place between check-out and check-in. Home care cleaning is the opposite of that. These are people's long-term homes, often the river and beach homes that cop sand and salt all year, and they need a steady, regular touch rather than one big blitz.
Because salt comes in off the water constantly here, glass and window tracks haze up and bathrooms wear faster than they would inland. On a regular home care visit we stay on top of that bit by bit, so the shower screen doesn't get to the point where it needs a heavy scrub, and the floors don't build up sand between cleans. Keeping it consistent is easier on the home and easier on the client, who never has to face a place that has gotten away from them.
Carpets and low-tox products for in-home cleaning
Family homes around Tomakin often book regular carpet cleans, and for older residents that's worth doing on a schedule rather than waiting for the carpet to look tired. Sand walked in off the beach grinds into carpet and wears it down, and a freshly cleaned carpet is also easier and safer to move across. We can fold carpet cleaning into the home care routine so it gets done before it becomes a problem.
Everything we use is low-tox, which matters more in a home that's lived in every day by someone who may be there while we clean. There are no harsh fumes left hanging in the lounge room or the bedroom. The place smells clean rather than chemical, and an older client with a sensitive chest isn't left coughing through the afternoon.
The visit you booked is the visit you get
We service Tomakin as part of one efficient loop with Broulee and Mossy Point, so we're through this stretch of the coast regularly and reliably. For home care clients that reliability is the thing that counts. The visit you booked is the visit you get, on the day you expect it, with no missed weeks because we couldn't be bothered driving out.
If a coordinator from My Home Care, Goodwin or another provider is setting up cleaning for someone in Tomakin, or a family member is sorting it out for mum or dad, give us a call on 0479 184 498. We'll talk through what the home needs, how often, and how it fits the package, and then we'll get into a routine that just runs.
