[Asia Economy Reporter Onyu Lim] Zigbang announced on the 6th that it has acquired Neighbor Venture, which operates 'Hotelive,' a specialized bathroom and kitchen cleaning service.
Zigbang plans to provide Hotelive's cleaning services to Zigbang users through collaboration with Neighbor Venture. Users can conveniently book and use the service via the Zigbang application. A Zigbang representative stated, "Through Zigbang, customers can now receive hotel-grade residential cleaning services."
Hotelive specializes in bathroom and kitchen cleaning services. It offers standardized, high-quality cleaning services comparable to hotel room cleaning. For kitchens, it thoroughly handles everything from hood and filter cleaning, which only experts can perform, to removing stubborn grime from induction cooktops and gas stoves. For bathrooms, the service is manualized from mold and grime removal to rinsing and polishing. Hotelive services have been introduced in over 200 apartment complexes in the Seoul metropolitan area, including Seoul, Gyeonggi, and Incheon.
While typical cleaning services can vary in quality depending on the provider, Hotelive trains its staff through its own academy to deliver standardized cleaning services, ensuring that all customers receive the same level of service. Additionally, it uses eco-friendly certified detergents and disposable cleaning tools, allowing customers to use the service safely during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Meanwhile, Zigbang is expanding related services to enhance convenience in residential life beyond just finding a home. Recently, it launched 'Our Home' and concierge services, implementing management offices accessible via mobile.
Seungwoo Ahn, CEO of Zigbang, said, "Starting with cleaning services, we plan to offer various types of residential-related services in the future," adding, "We also plan to diversify the service targets beyond apartments to include one-room units, officetels, and villas."
