How to Plan an End-of-Lease Clean

List every room, bathroom, floor, appliance, cupboard, window, carpet, upholstery item and outdoor area that is relevant. Mark existing damage, fair wear, repairs and inaccessible areas separately. The checklist should reflect the property and lease rather than an unsupported universal standard.

Remove belongings and rubbish, clear appliance contents, arrange keys and parking, keep utilities available and secure pets. Tell the cleaner about stains, delicate surfaces, furniture, access limits and any previous chemical treatment before quoting.

Ovens, carpets, upholstery, windows, pests, mould-like growth, repairs and hazardous waste may need different providers or methods. Never mix chemicals or use a strong product to hide damage. Allow time for drying and follow each manufacturer’s or specialist’s instructions.

Walk through in daylight, compare with the condition report and keep the agreed scope or receipt. Dirt2Tidy can quote an end-of-lease clean. Any seven-day re-clean support is limited to the applicable policy and does not guarantee a bond refund or inspection outcome.
