Kitchen and food-preparation areas
Check benches, sink, cupboard fronts, accessible splashbacks and appliance exteriors. Request oven interiors, rangehood filters, inside cupboards or other optional work separately and confirm it in writing. Do not move heavy appliances or dismantle fixed components unless it is safe and permitted.
Bathrooms, laundry and living spaces
Review accessible sinks, taps, mirrors, shower surfaces, toilets, laundry fixtures, floors and reachable ledges. Use products compatible with each material and dry surfaces as directed. Persistent damp, damaged grout, plumbing faults and mould-like growth may need maintenance or specialist assessment.
Often-missed accessible details
Check sills, handles, skirting, door surfaces, wardrobe shelves and reachable corners where they are included in the agreed scope. Remove personal belongings and waste separately. Avoid unsafe heights, electrical components and areas that cannot be reached without moving heavy or fixed items.
Compare the work with current instructions
Review the property condition records and written agent or landlord instructions. If booking a cleaner, share the room list, condition, access and timing, then confirm inclusions, exclusions, optional tasks and price in writing. Repairs, damage and tenancy disputes are separate from cleaning.
