Sweepsouth turns 11 – and launches even more ways to make your life easier!

If you’re a busy parent trying to juggle work, school runs, laundry and everything in between (sound familiar?), there’s some brilliant news from Sweepsouth. The much-loved home services platform has just added a whole bunch of new offerings to help lighten the load and it’s all in celebration of their 11th birthday.

For more than a decade, Sweepsouth has been a go-to for hassle-free home cleaning. But now, they’re taking things up a notch with seven shiny new services designed to take the pressure off parents, pet owners, office workers and pretty much anyone who needs an extra pair of hands.

“Each new offering on the platform is designed to meet the diverse needs of our growing customer base – those who use our service weekly, or even daily, to make their lives easier. Equally significant are the opportunities these new services bring to gig economy workers in South Africa seeking flexible employment as the platform now offers more pathways to safe and equitable job opportunities,” says Lourandi Kriel, CEO of Sweepsouth. 

So, what’s new? Let’s take a look:

Mom’s Helper

Or Dad’s Helper – we’re all about inclusivity here! Whether you need backup for your regular nanny or just an extra set of hands to keep up with the chaos of a busy household, this service provides vetted, experienced childcare professionals on demand. Peace of mind? Tick.

Office Cleaning

Say goodbye to worrying about the state of your work space. With this service, you get professional, neatly dressed cleaners who’ll keep your office sparkling – no HR headaches required. And yes, they’ll send monthly VAT invoices so your accountant stays happy too.

Laundry & Ironing

Imagine never having to face Mount Laundry again. Sweepsouth’s top-rated workers will take care of machine washing, drying, ironing and folding – exactly how you like it.

Moving Cleaning

Moving house is stressful enough without tackling the post-move clean. Book a SweepStar who’ll make sure the place is spotless – plus, they can help with packing and unpacking. Need someone to haul boxes? You can book an outdoor SweepStar for the heavy lifting too.

Elder Care

Flexible, trusted in-home care for ageing loved ones, delivered by certified carers who’ve been thoroughly vetted. From helping with meals to meds and mobility, your Elder Care SweepStar can be booked for once-offs or regular visits.

Dog Walking

Because even the most energetic parent sometimes needs help keeping the family pooch happy. Book friendly dog walkers (with stamina to match your furry friend!) as part of Outdoor Services – with flexible walk durations.

Permanent Placements

Looking for a long-term housekeeper, nanny or carer? Sweepsouth now helps you connect with reliable, experienced and vetted candidates for permanent home help.

According to CEO Lourandi Kriel, these new services are about more than just making customers’ lives easier (although that’s a big win in itself!). “Each new offering meets the diverse needs of our growing customer base while creating more pathways to safe, flexible employment for gig workers across South Africa,” she says.
