Start with the tenancy and condition records
Review the lease, entry condition report and property-manager directions Queensland RTA. Identify relevant rooms, furnishings, appliances, carpets, windows and outdoor spaces. Requirements vary by agreement and Queensland tenancy rules; check current official guidance for legal questions.
Include accessible and often-missed areas
List reachable window tracks, skirtings, cupboard interiors, appliance exteriors, floors and areas around movable items. Do not move heavy furniture or dismantle fixtures unsafely. Confirm carpet, blinds, oven and balcony tasks separately.
Use compatible products and methods
Follow surface care instructions for timber, stone, glass, upholstery, grout and coatings. Do not use bleach, acids, pressure or solvents unless the maker permits them. Mould, pests, repair needs and damage are separate from routine cleaning.
Plan timing and compare quotes
Share property size, condition, vacancy, access, parking, keys and inspection timing with providers. Compare written inclusions, exclusions, price basis and any re-clean terms. A cleaner cannot guarantee a bond refund, inspection outcome or specific deduction amount.
