Confirm the Chatswood property and handover brief
Provide the property type, rooms and bathrooms, furnished or vacant status, agent checklist, inspection date and any areas the property manager has specifically identified. Separate cleaning from repairs, painting, rubbish removal, pest work and furniture removal. The agreed cleaning scope should reflect the actual property, not a generic package.
Apartment access matters
Chatswood apartments and townhouses may require keys, lift bookings, loading instructions, parking details, concierge access or building rules. Tell the cleaner about stairs, restricted hours, pets, alarms and whether someone will meet the team. Access time and equipment movement can affect the practical booking even when the rooms are standard.
Check the high-attention rooms
Before booking, list kitchen surfaces and appliances, bathrooms, laundry, floors, skirtings, doors, windows, cupboards and any carpet or upholstery. Oven interiors, window tracks, carpet extraction and exterior areas should be named separately. Photograph heavy build-up, delicate finishes and existing damage so expectations are clear.
Prepare for the final walkthrough
Remove personal belongings and rubbish, empty cupboards that are included, secure valuables and leave access to the areas on the checklist. Keep the booking record and confirmed scope. A professional clean can address suitable residue and presentation, but the final outcome also depends on property condition, damage, fair wear and the agent's process.
