Start with records and a plan
Review the lease, entry condition report and property-manager directions. List rooms, floors, appliances, reachable windows, furnishings and any outdoor areas that are relevant. Requirements vary by agreement and jurisdiction, so check current official guidance for legal questions.
Remove belongings and ordinary rubbish
Pack personal items, clear cupboards and drawers that are part of the agreed scope, and dispose of ordinary waste through the correct local process. Keep access paths clear and arrange keys, parking, utilities and inspection timing.
Clean surfaces using compatible methods
Follow labels and maker instructions for stone, timber, glass, carpet, upholstery and appliances. Use safe access and never mix products. Persistent mould, pests, repairs, hazardous materials and restoration are separate tasks.
Compare a professional quote
Share property size, condition, furnishings, photos, access and priority tasks. Confirm inclusions, exclusions, price basis, timing and any re-clean terms in writing. A cleaning service cannot guarantee a bond refund or inspection result.
