List the cleaning tasks before asking for a quote
Record the property type, rooms, condition, furnishings, access and handover date. List requested tasks such as oven, windows or carpets separately and ask whether each is included, optional or excluded. The provider's current written quote is the source for the price.
Separate cleaning from other move-out costs
Keep distinct lines for transport, storage, utilities, repairs, waste collection and any other providers. Do not treat an end-of-lease cleaning quote as including these separate tasks unless a provider specifically confirms otherwise in writing.
Compare like-for-like proposals
Give each provider the same property details and requested task list. Compare the quoted inclusions, exclusions, optional work, access requirements, timing, price basis and any applicable re-clean terms. A historical city example or advertised starting figure is not a current personalised quote.
Keep bond expectations realistic
Cleaning cannot guarantee a bond refund or inspection result. Review your tenancy documents and current written property instructions; seek official jurisdiction-specific guidance or qualified advice for tenancy questions.
