Check the Required Cleaning Scope

Check the Required Cleaning Scope

Review your tenancy agreement, final inspection checklist or property manager instructions before booking. Tell us about any specific areas or tasks that must be included.

Empty the Property Where Possible

Empty the Property Where Possible

The property should be empty or mostly empty before cleaning begins. This gives our team better access to floors, walls, cupboards, doors and fixtures.

Empty Cupboards and Appliances

Empty Cupboards and Appliances

Cupboards, drawers, wardrobes, fridges and freezers should be emptied before interior cleaning. Fridges and freezers should also be safely defrosted where required.

Request Optional Services Early

Request Optional Services Early

Select carpet, oven, window, garage, ceiling and other add-ons before booking where possible. This helps us allow enough time, staff and equipment.

Allow Enough Time Before Inspection
