Read records before making a checklist
Compare the current property with the entry report and review written instructions. Identify rooms, appliances, floors, windows and any optional tasks. Tenancy requirements vary by agreement and jurisdiction; check current official guidance for legal questions.
Work room by room
List kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, living areas, cupboards, reachable glass and floors. Confirm carpet extraction, oven interiors, blinds, balcony and garage tasks separately. Repairs, pest treatment, mould remediation, rubbish and hazardous materials require different services.
Use suitable products and methods
Follow the label and surface maker's care instructions. Avoid mixing chemicals, abrasive methods on delicate finishes and excessive moisture on timber, stone, laminate or upholstery. Document existing damage rather than trying to conceal it.
Confirm professional cleaning scope
Share property size, condition, access and inspection timing with the provider. Compare written inclusions, exclusions, price basis and any re-clean terms. Keep the confirmed task list and communication for your records.
