Check records before booking
Review the lease, entry condition report and any written handover instructions NSW Fair Trading. Requirements vary across tenancies and jurisdictions. Check current NSW tenancy guidance or seek appropriate advice for legal questions.
Compare the room-by-room cleaning scope
Ask whether kitchen, bathrooms, floors, cupboards, reachable glass and appliance interiors are included. Carpet extraction, blinds, high windows, balconies, garages and rubbish removal may be optional or excluded. Repairs, pest work and hazardous materials need separate services.
Request clear quotes and terms
Provide the same property size, condition, access and inspection details to each provider. Compare price basis, inclusions, exclusions, add-ons, cancellation and any re-clean policy in writing. A re-clean policy is subject to its terms and does not determine bond outcomes.
Prepare the property
Remove belongings and ordinary rubbish, arrange keys and utilities and coordinate removalists or trades. Report damage or maintenance issues separately from cleaning. Leave enough time for the agreed work and any drying requirements.
