Welcoming Maid in Melbourne to the Excel Cleaning Family
9th January 2026
We're pleased to share that Excel Cleaning has welcomed Maid in Melbourne into our family.
After 21 years of caring for Melbourne homes, Maid in Melbourne founder Rita Dossis has retired, and the business has transitioned to us—her nephew James and sister-in-law Therese. It's a family affair in more ways than one.
A natural fit
Both businesses have been serving Melbourne's inner suburbs with quality home cleaning for years. We share the same values: reliable service, trusted cleaners, and genuine care for the homes we look after. Bringing the two together means a stronger team and broader coverage, while keeping everything that made both businesses work.
Our combined experience
Therese has spent 30 years in the home cleaning industry, and together we've been running Excel Cleaning since 2013. With the addition of Maid in Melbourne's experienced team—including office staff Vanessa and Ellie—we're well-placed to continue the standard of service both businesses have built their reputations on.
Looking for a cleaner?
Whether you're a former Maid in Melbourne client returning after some time, or you're new to us entirely, we'd love to help.
