Start with the property records
Review the lease, entry condition report and current agent or landlord instructions Queensland RTA. Separate cleaning tasks from existing damage, maintenance, missing items and repairs. If an obligation is unclear, ask the property manager or a qualified local tenancy advice service.
Check rooms and accessible surfaces
List kitchen, bathrooms, floors, cupboards, reachable ledges, windows and any furniture provided with the property. Follow material and appliance care instructions; do not move heavy items or dismantle fixtures unless safe and permitted.
Confirm specialist and optional tasks
Carpet extraction, oven interiors, exterior windows, balconies, upholstery, pest work and repairs may need separate scope or providers. Confirm inclusions, exclusions, access and price in writing before booking.
Allow time for access and review
Coordinate keys, parking, lifts, utilities and the agreed cleaning window. Keep copies of written instructions and service confirmation. Cleaning may address listed tasks but cannot determine an agent's decision or legal bond entitlement.
