The Meaning Behind TenAnts
“Arigatou” is Japanese for thank you - and it’s at the heart of everything we do.
Our name, TenAnts, is a playful nod to the word “arigatou” (ありがとう): “ari” means ant, and “tou” means ten.
So together - TenAnts - we symbolise a humble, hardworking team with a deep sense of gratitude.
How it started
It all started with one man, one mop, and one mindset - cleaning isn’t just about what you see - it’s about how you feel.
We believe your environment isn’t just a backdrop - it’s the foundation for your energy and best self.
In Japanese culture, cleaning is a daily act of care - one that purifies both space and spirit.
Determined to understand what truly made a home feel clean, founder Yuki Shibuya began by personally cleaning homes in 2017 in Melbourne, Australia.
He carried with him a belief passed down through generations - that when cleaning is done with care and presence, it has the power to renew not just a space, but the people who live within it.
Today, Yuki’s vision lives on through a team that shares his values across Melbourne and Sydney.
At TenAnts, cleaning is an art of presence - delivered with quiet strength to support the wellbeing of your space and everyone in it.
