Before you start

Remove all belongings and rubbish, arrange disposal separately, return keys or access devices as instructed, and check the entry condition report and agent checklist. Confirm power, water, parking and access.

Photograph the completed property for your own records and separate cleaning from repairs, damage and maintenance.

Kitchen and appliances

Clean the oven inside and out, including racks, trays and door glass where safely accessible. Degrease the stovetop, rangehood exterior, splashback, benches, sink, taps and cabinet exteriors. Empty cupboards, pantry shelves and drawers before wiping them inside and out.

For applicable appliance interiors, remove loose food and trays, empty and defrost a fridge or freezer if its interior is booked, and follow the appliance instructions. Clean appliance exteriors and list the inside of the dishwasher or microwave separately if required.

Sweep and mop floors, remove cobwebs and wipe accessible skirting boards and doors.

Bathrooms and laundry

Clean and disinfect toilets, cisterns, seats, bases and surrounding floors. Scrub showers, baths, screens, tiles, grout and drains where accessible, then remove soap scum and scale where the surface allows. Clean basins, taps, benches, mirrors, vanity exteriors and internal storage after emptying it.

Wipe laundry sinks, benches, cabinet surfaces, appliance exteriors, exhaust-fan covers and floors. Do not treat mould, blocked drains or damaged fixtures as ordinary cleaning.

Bedrooms, living and dining areas

Remove cobwebs and dust accessible surfaces, ceiling fans, light fittings, switches, doors, frames, architraves and skirting boards. Spot-clean removable marks where the surface allows. Clean wardrobes, shelves and drawers after emptying them.

Vacuum carpets and rugs, sweep or mop hard floors, and list carpet steam cleaning separately if it is required by the booking or property-manager checklist.

Windows, floors and outdoor areas

Clean interior glass, frames, sills and tracks where accessible, and list external glass, screens, blinds, balconies, patios, garages and high-level work separately. Sweep balconies, patios and garages where they are part of the confirmed scope. Check corners, behind doors and under accessible furniture.

Do not pressure-clean, repair, remove hazardous waste or move heavy items without a separate confirmed arrangement.

Final handover check

Walk through the property with the written checklist. Confirm appliances are empty and clean, cupboards and drawers are clear, floors are free of loose debris, bathrooms are dry and presentable, rubbish is removed, keys and remotes are ready, and the property is accessible for inspection.

End-of-lease cleaning bookings include seven-day re-clean support. If an item included in your confirmed cleaning scope is identified during the property inspection, contact Dirt2Tidy within seven days and provide the inspection feedback and relevant photographs.

We will review the request against the booked scope and arrange an appropriate resolution where applicable. This support does not itself guarantee a bond refund.
