Record the details a provider needs
Share the property's suburb or postcode, type, rooms, condition, furnishings, access arrangements and preferred date. Inner West and other Sydney addresses should be confirmed with the provider individually; a local page or general city reference does not establish availability.
Build a task list from your actual property
List the rooms and surfaces you want considered and note any specific items such as carpet, appliance interiors, windows or upholstery separately. Ask which tasks are included, optional, excluded or need a separate assessment rather than relying on assumptions about studies, powder rooms or appliances.
Prepare the space and access plan
Before the appointment, agree how the cleaner will enter, which areas are available and what belongings remain. If an area cannot be reached or a task needs another provider, note that before the quote is confirmed.
Confirm written scope and timing
Ask the provider to confirm the address, appointment, inclusions, exclusions, optional tasks and current terms in writing. Cleaning work is separate from tenancy decisions; check rental questions against the documents and current official guidance that apply to your situation NSW Fair Trading.
