Close, but no cigar

When is near enough not good enough?

There’s no accounting for taste, as they say. But there is always a right –and plain wrong.

And that’s especially true when it comes to preparing for summer.

That’s why here at Acquaint, we make sure to always perform tasks – from help around the home to entertaining – to their true completion. Because near enough is never good enough.

Weather-appropriate wardrobes

The only things more important than a transitional wardrobe are friends, family and health – and even then, only just.

As the weather warms up, we at Acquaint will do everything in our power to ensure your peers never see you sweat.

So the second the temperature ticks over 20°, we’ll hightail it down High Street to update your lookbook. Because no, the long sleeve you wore on the warmer winter days will not ‘do’ – as you well know.

Presentation of hors d’oeuvres

When entertaining guests, one must always remember to feed the eyes as well as the stomach.

To forgo presentation and rely on taste alone is to serve one’s reputation up for consumption (as well as the food). Our clients would never allow such a fate. And neither would we.

That’s why when Acquaint carers prepare drinks and nibbles this summer, we’ll ensure the prosciutto has been wrapped around the rockmelon precisely three times apiece. And that the devilled eggs have been topped with no more than a quarter teaspoon of caviar.

Laundering and pressing the linen

Removing, washing, drying and storing away the flannelette sheets from winter is no easy task. But it’s a task that must be done.

Your beauty sleep is of the utmost importance to us. Which is why we couldn’t imagine waiting even a moment too long to dress your bed for summer – with fresh linen sheets for optimal comfort.

So if your backyard clothesline is nightmare-inducing, you’ll be able to rest easy on our watch.

Tending to the garden

Maintaining a well-manicured lawn is like greeting a guest with a baked good – you wouldn’t expect anything less.

And although we at Acquaint are no gardeners ourselves, we have no problem with a minor tidy-up here or wrangling a professional gardener there. Either way, we’ll ensure your garden is cared for to soak up the sun in this summer.

And fear not – expectations extend to the roses, the lemon tree and the veggie garden as well.

Our commitment to nothing less than exceptional care is evident through our premium services, from 24-hour care at home to social events out and about.

In need of a helping hand at home, that never leaves a job half done? Call us on 03 9267 9090.
