The Northbound idea

A clean home isn't really about cleaning.

It's coming home and exhaling. Getting your Saturday back. Inviting people over without panicking first. Actually enjoying the space you work so hard for.

We take care of the home. You take back the time.

Choose your care

What does your home need?

Home Reset

R400

Your everyday rescue: one Northie for up to 3 hours of general tidying and cleaning — beds made, dishes washed, surfaces reset and floors swept/vacuumed and mopped.

Best for: upkeep, busy weeks and a general refresh.

Deep Clean

From R550

The proper one. Everything in a Home Reset, plus detailed Airbnb-level cleaning, including underneath beds, behind accessible appliances and easily forgotten corners.

Best for: a thorough top-to-bottom refresh.

Event & Ceremony Cleanup

From R1,500

Umgidi, umcimbi, birthdays and family gatherings. We can tackle large cooking pots, dishes, kitchens, bathrooms, floors, rubbish, yards and general post-event cleanup.

Final pricing depends on the scale of the event and work required.

Meet your Northie

Home care, treated like the professional service it is.

“Good home care should work for everyone involved.”

We call the people who care for your home Northies. Northbound was built on a simple belief: housekeeping deserves to be treated as a professional service, and the people doing the work deserve professional opportunities.

We're building a company where reliability, respect and high standards go both ways — for the people we serve and the people doing the serving.

Our story

Hi, I'm Bongi.

I started Northbound because I've always felt that housekeeping deserves to be treated as a professional service.

I wanted to build something that creates better, more sustainable opportunities for the people doing the work while giving clients something incredibly valuable in return: time.

Time to rest. Time for family. Time for friends. Time to work. Or simply time to sit on your couch and do absolutely nothing without staring at the floor thinking you should probably mop it.

Your home is important. So are the people who care for it.

— Bongi, Founder of Northbound

Fully equipped.

Northbound brings the general cleaning products and equipment needed for your service — from the vacuum to the bleach. If your home requires a specialist product or has delicate surfaces, let us know when booking.

Good to know

Frequently asked things.

What's the difference between a Home Reset and Deep Clean?

A Home Reset is one Northie for up to three hours of everyday cleaning and tidying. A Deep Clean is more detailed and covers areas not normally tackled during routine upkeep.

Do you bring cleaning products and equipment?

Yes. We arrive with the general products and equipment needed for the clean, including a vacuum. Tell us beforehand about specialist surfaces or product requirements.

Do I need to be home?

No. Access can be arranged beforehand if you're comfortable with your Northie cleaning while you're away.

Can I book regularly?

Yes. Weekly, fortnightly and other recurring arrangements can be discussed with us.

Can I request the same Northie?

You can request them and we'll do our best to maintain consistency, subject to availability.

What is your cancellation policy?

Please cancel or reschedule at least one hour before your scheduled service. Eligible cancelled bookings are credited as a Northbound voucher for use toward a future booking. Full voucher/payment terms will be confirmed when you book.

Where do you operate?

Northbound services homes and properties across Cape Town. Send us your suburb when booking and we'll confirm availability.
