Plan End-of-Lease Cleaning for a Furnished Property

Note landlord-provided furniture, appliances and other items in each room. Identify visible marks or concerns separately from routine cleaning tasks. Refer to the tenancy inventory or property manager for questions about ownership, condition records or responsibility for an item.

Ask which rooms, surfaces and items can be included in the requested clean, and identify anything that needs a separate quote or specialist service. Do not assume upholstery, mattresses, internal appliance parts, blinds or delicate finishes are automatically included.

Furniture fabrics, timber finishes, coatings and appliance parts may have different care requirements. Find the maker's instructions for the exact item and share them with the cleaning provider before requesting treatment. Avoid a cleaning product or method that the care instructions do not permit.

Cleaning does not repair furniture, assess damage, prepare an inventory report or determine a bond result. Refer repairs and condition disputes to the property manager or the appropriate specialist. Confirm access, timing, inclusions and exclusions for the cleaning visit in writing.
