Furnished Rental Cleaning: Tasks to Confirm Before Handover

A furnished rental clean may involve both the property and owner-supplied furniture or appliances. Review the inventory, entry condition report and current written instructions, and confirm the cleaning tasks; no service can guarantee a bond refund.

Check the inventory and condition report

Compare furniture, appliances and property condition with the entry records. Photograph existing marks or damage, and ask the property manager about items that should not be moved. Do not assume every furnishing must receive specialist cleaning.

Define the furnished-property scope

List accessible surfaces, cupboards, kitchen appliances, blinds, windows, floors, furniture and any carpet or upholstery work. Confirm which items are included, whether contents must be removed and how access behind furniture is handled.

Use fabric- and appliance-compatible methods

Follow care labels for sofas, mattresses, curtains, flooring and appliances. Avoid over-wetting, unapproved chemicals, steam or moving heavy items without permission and safe assistance.

Compare quote and tenancy terms

Share property size, furnishings, condition, access, timing and requested extras. Confirm price basis, exclusions and any re-clean policy in writing. Cleaning invoices and service guarantees do not determine bond outcomes; check current local tenancy guidance for legal questions.
