Start with the property and handover instructions
List the rooms, fixtures, accessible storage and surfaces identified in the written checklist. Record existing damage and maintenance separately from removable soil. Share the Adelaide suburb, property type, size, furnished status, condition and vacate date so a provider can assess the requested work.
Confirm local coverage and availability
Ask whether the exact address is within the provider’s service area and whether the requested date is available. Confirm entry arrangements, keys, parking, building access, utilities and the inspection deadline before booking. Do not rely on a general Adelaide claim to establish coverage for a particular property.

Compare written scope and optional tasks
Ask what rooms, appliances and accessible surfaces are included, then list exclusions and separate work such as carpet extraction, exterior windows, balconies or rubbish. Compare itemized scope and price basis rather than assumed packages or unsupported “agent-approved” claims.
Keep service and tenancy outcomes separate
Cleaning does not repair damage, determine legal obligations or guarantee bond release SA Consumer and Business Services. If the provider offers re-clean support, confirm its timeframe, eligibility and connection to the booked scope. Keep the quote and any inspection feedback for follow-up.
