Before cleaning starts
Read the lease, entry condition report and agent checklist. Remove personal belongings and rubbish, arrange repairs separately, confirm keys and access, and photograph existing damage or marks. List the rooms, bathrooms, floors, pets, furniture, parking, lift or stair access and inspection date before booking help.
Kitchen and laundry checklist
Clean accessible benches, splashbacks, sinks, taps, cabinet fronts, floors and appliance exteriors. List the oven cavity, racks, trays, rangehood filters, refrigerator, cupboards and laundry appliances separately where required. Follow care instructions and keep water away from electrical controls. Do not treat broken appliances, damaged coatings or plumbing faults as cleaning tasks.
Bathroom, bedrooms and living areas
Check toilets, basins, showers, baths, mirrors, tiles, screens, floors, doors, handles, skirtings and reachable ledges. In bedrooms and living areas, vacuum and mop suitable floors, remove cobwebs, clean accessible surfaces and check behind furniture only where safe access exists. Carpet, upholstery, windows, tracks, walls and high-level work need separate confirmation.
Final walkthrough and optional work
Compare the completed rooms with the checklist, open agreed cupboards and check overlooked edges, floors and appliances. Separate pressure cleaning, pest treatment, mould remediation, repairs, painting, furniture removal and rubbish disposal. A professional end-of-lease clean can address suitable residue and presentation, but no cleaner can guarantee the inspection or bond outcome.
