Describe the property and condition
Share location, property type, room and bathroom count, floor area if known, occupancy, condition, pets and access. Photos or a walkthrough can help clarify unusual areas and avoid assumptions about the amount of work.
Choose the cleaning tasks
Separate routine domestic cleaning from deep cleaning, end-of-lease tasks, carpet extraction, oven interiors, windows, upholstery and other specialist services. List each room, frequency, priorities and exclusions so the quote reflects what is actually requested.
Understand the pricing basis
Providers may quote per hour, visit, area or a defined fixed scope. Ask what labour, products, equipment, travel, taxes, minimum charges, optional tasks and cancellations are included. Check how additional work is approved and charged.
Assess provider terms as well as price
Verify relevant insurance or qualifications for the requested work and review access, payment, rescheduling and complaint terms. Read reviews as one input rather than proof of a particular outcome. No cleaning quote can guarantee a bond decision, health result or stain removal.
