About the Swachh blog
These articles are written by the team behind Swachh, the Goa housekeeping company that deep-cleans homes, villas, offices, hotels and restaurants across North, Central and South Goa. Most cleaning advice online is written for cold, dry climates. Goa is different: months of monsoon humidity, salt air near the coast, red laterite stone, old Portuguese-era homes and a tourist season that keeps villas and hotels busy from October to May. We write about cleaning as it actually works here.
What you will find here
- Seasonal checklists – what to clean after the monsoon, before the tourist season and ahead of festivals.
- Care guides for sofas, carpets, mattresses, kitchens, glass façades and heritage homes.
- Neutral machine buying guides comparing vacuum cleaners, scrubber driers, sweepers and pressure washers, so you can choose the right type for your space.
