People always ask how we manage to deep clean entire homes in just one day.
Here’s the secret — it’s not magic, it’s method.

Our 12-Hour Clean Plan isn’t one cleaner working around the clock.
It’s our team system — two or three trained Mackies cleaners working in perfect sync, completing a full-home deep clean in roughly 12 labour hours.

That means a 3-person team can reset an entire home in about four hours.
No rushing, no cutting corners — just flow, focus, and the kind of efficiency that comes from experience.

“We don’t clean faster — we clean smarter.”

Why 12 Hours Works So Well

Twelve hours is the sweet spot for transformation.
It’s long enough for detail, short enough for momentum, and structured so every task builds on the last.

We’ve refined this system through hundreds of cleans, and it’s now part of The Mackies Method — our signature process built on flow, structure, and precision.

The Mackies 12-Hour Clean Plan

We won’t give away every secret (that stays in The House of How), but here’s a glimpse at how we turn chaos into calm in half a day.

🕗 Hours 1–2: The Reset

We start by stripping back the house — bins out, beds stripped, clutter cleared, windows open.
No sprays yet — just resetting the energy and giving the team a clear visual of every surface.

🧽 Hours 3–6: The Core Zones

Kitchen and bathrooms come first — always.
We follow our directional flow (top to bottom, left to right) and two-cloth rule (wet + dry, never mix).
This phase brings the biggest visible change, which fuels momentum for the rest of the job.

“When the kitchen’s done, the whole house starts to breathe again.”

🛋️ Hours 7–10: The Flow Rooms

Living spaces, hallways, and bedrooms get tackled in sequence.
Each cleaner owns their zone, so we never double back or overlap.
We use our double pass method — one clean for dirt, one for detail — the Mackies signature finish.

✨ Hours 11–12: The Style & Shine

This is the final stretch: styling, scenting, and stepping back.
Cushions fluffed, candles lit, chrome polished, floors buffed, and one silent walkthrough before we leave.
That’s how we know it’s Mackies Clean.

Why It Works

Because there’s a plan behind the polish.

Every team member trains in The House of How, our internal academy for systems, standards, and speed.
We’ve built a process that removes the chaos from cleaning — no “what next?”, no guesswork, no wasted motion.

The result?
A consistent, high-end finish that leaves every home feeling brand new — in half the time.

The Mackies Minute: Your Takeaway Tip

💡 Even if you’re cleaning solo, steal our 12-hour logic. Split your home into four zones and give each one three focused hours. No multitasking, no hopping rooms — just finish and move on.
