Inspect materials before choosing a method
Record stone, timber, glass, metal, lacquer, designer fabric and appliance finishes before work begins. Use the manufacturer’s care guidance and test a compatible method in an inconspicuous area. Avoid assumptions such as steam is safe everywhere or a stronger chemical gives a better finish. High-value items may need their own specialist.
Protect fixtures and access
Confirm keys, alarms, lifts, parking, restricted rooms, security procedures and fragile items before booking. Use clean equipment between sensitive areas, protect floors during movement and keep moisture away from electronics and joinery. A clear room-by-room scope prevents a cleaner from moving, dismantling or treating an item without authorisation.
Focus on presentation and handover
A luxury rental clean may prioritise streak-free glass, dust-free ledges, polished suitable fixtures, kitchens, bathrooms, floors, wardrobes and touchpoints. Compare the result with the owner or agent checklist, not with an invented standard. Cleaning does not repair damage, restore worn finishes or guarantee that a tenant or inspection will approve every item.
Choose the right booking scope
Provide photographs or details of the property, surfaces, furnishings, access and deadline. List carpet, upholstery, oven, windows and outdoor areas separately because these may require different equipment or providers. Dirt2Tidy can quote a domestic or end-of-lease cleaning scope after the property requirements are clear.
