Keep residue from building up
Routine cleaning can remove suitable dust, food residue, grease, hair and tracked-in soil from agreed rooms and surfaces. Use the least aggressive method that suits the material and follow appliance and finish instructions. Cleaning should not be confused with servicing, inspection, restoration or repair.
Use cleaning as an observation point
While cleaning, note dripping taps, failed seals, loose handles, damp smells, cracked grout, damaged flooring or changes around appliances. Record the location and date, then report maintenance through the owner's, agent's or building manager's process. Do not hide a leak or suspected mould-like growth with chemicals.
Protect surfaces with the right method
Use limited moisture on timber and laminate, suitable products on stone, and care-code-approved methods on carpet and upholstery. Keep grit away from floors, protect electronics and allow damp areas to dry. A cleaning routine cannot reverse wear, building defects, pest activity or accidental damage.
Plan maintenance and cleaning separately
List rooms, condition, access and priorities when requesting a quote, and identify any appliance, carpet, upholstery, window or high-access work separately. Dirt2Tidy can quote a domestic cleaning scope. Avoid claims about reduced costs or guaranteed maintenance outcomes because each property is different.
