About Us

The Old School Cleaning Co is Built on Old-School Values. Delivered with Modern Precision.

Gemma and Deon from the Old School Cleaning Co

Our Story

The Old School Cleaning Co was built on a simple belief: good old-fashioned hard work still matters.

That belief sits at the core of everything we do.

Founded on the Gold Coast by Gemma and Deon, OSCC was created to raise the standard of what cleaning should feel like — for both clients and the people doing the work.

After seeing firsthand how inconsistent and unreliable the industry had become, they set out to build something better. A company where showing up matters. Where effort matters. Where pride in work still means something.

What started as a local cleaning service has grown into a structured, fast-evolving business built on strong values, clear standards and long-term vision.

Today, OSCC supports homes, short-stay properties and professional spaces across the Gold Coast and surrounding areas — with plans to expand across South East Queensland over time.

What we stand for

We believe the basics still matter.

  • Showing up when we say we will.
  • Taking genuine pride in our work.
  • Caring for every home and workplace with respect.
  • Never cutting corners or rushing the result.

These aren’t just nice ideas — they’re the standards we operate by every single day.

It’s old-school work ethic, backed by modern systems and a commitment to doing the job properly — every time. Old-School Standards. Modern Systems.

Our Values

Reliability

We do what we say we’ll do. Our clients and team rely on consistency and follow-through.

Pride in Work

We take genuine pride in what we do. Every clean reflects our standards and our name.

Respect

For people. For homes. For workplaces. For time. Respect underpins every interaction.

Quality Without Shortcuts

We don’t rush jobs or cut corners. Proper results take proper effort.

Growth & Opportunity

We’re building a company that creates stable, respectful employment and long-term opportunity for the right people.

Vision

Our Airbnb and short-stay clients value structure and consistency.
We support:

  • Scheduled turnovers
  • Clear communication
  • Reliable attendance
  • Respectful property access
  • Consistent presentation standards.

You shouldn’t need to check the job was done properly.

That’s our responsibility.

Mission

To deliver consistently high-quality cleaning through reliable systems, capable people and old-school work ethic — while creating meaningful employment, supporting our community and raising the standard of what professional cleaning should be.

Meet the Founders

The Old School Cleaning Co is proudly family-owned and operated by Gemma and Deon. This business wasn’t built in a boardroom. It was built from the ground up with long days, high standards and a clear vision: create a cleaning company that actually delivers what it promises.
Gemma
Gemma — People, Clients & Culture

Gemma leads the heart of the business. With a strong background in customer service and an eye for detail that borders on obsessive (in the best way), she focuses on building a capable, respected and well-supported team.
Her belief is simple: when you value your people properly, the quality of their work speaks for itself.

Deon
Deon — Operations, Systems & Growth

Deon drives the operational backbone of OSCC — systems, logistics and long-term strategy.

With a strong focus on efficiency, structure and scalability, he ensures the business runs smoothly behind the scenes while continually raising standards.

Together, they are building more than a cleaning company. They’re building a legacy for their family and a business known for doing things properly.

As local parents raising a large family, they understand exactly how full modern life can be — and how important it is to trust the people you welcome into your home or workplace.
Every standard within OSCC reflects that understanding.

Our Team

Our team — the Sparkle Squad — is made up of capable, reliable professionals who take genuine pride in their work.

Every team member is carefully selected, trained and supported. We’re building a strong, respectful workplace where people are valued and standards remain high. Because when our team feels valued, our clients feel the difference.
