List property surfaces and furniture tasks separately
Identify the rooms and fixed surfaces you want cleaned. If you want furniture, upholstery, mattresses, curtains or appliance interiors considered, list each separately and ask whether the provider offers and includes that work.

Check access and preparation
Confirm which belongings will remain, which areas can be reached and whether the provider needs clear access to particular surfaces. Agree any preparation directly rather than relying on a general furnished/unfurnished checklist.
Compare written quotes using the same details
Give each provider the same inventory, condition, access information and task list. Compare inclusions, exclusions, optional work and the price basis; property labels alone do not make two quotes comparable.

Keep service scope separate from bond decisions
A cleaning quote describes proposed work, not a legal cleaning duty or refund. Check tenancy questions using current official local guidance and the documents relevant to the property.
