Check access and furniture responsibilities
Review the inventory and tenancy documents to identify owner-supplied furniture and restricted items NSW Fair Trading. Ask the property manager before moving heavy, built-in or fragile pieces. Do not move appliances or connect/disconnect services without appropriate assistance.
Plan an accessible cleaning scope
List reachable floors, skirting boards, wall surfaces, upholstery and spaces that can safely be accessed. Share the furniture type, room, condition and photos with a provider. Some areas may remain inaccessible unless the owner arranges furniture movement.
Use material-compatible methods
Vacuum suitable dry soil with an appropriate attachment and follow care instructions for floors, upholstery and wall finishes. Do not wet clean unknown materials, use steam near timber or electronics, or treat mould, pests or hazardous debris as routine dust.
Keep cleaning separate from bond decisions
A cleaner can complete agreed tasks but cannot decide whether a tenant has met an inspection standard or guarantee bond return. Use the entry report, lease and current written directions, and check local tenancy information for legal questions.
