For a cleaner first day
Move-in cleaning is useful for a newly purchased home, a rental before occupancy, a renovated property after dust has settled or a household that wants a fresh start.
Cleaning before boxes and furniture arrive makes it easier to reach the rooms and surfaces you want ready for day one.
Rooms and tasks we can scope
A confirmed clean may include kitchen benches, sinks and appliance exteriors, bathroom surfaces, toilets, showers, baths, mirrors, accessible cupboards, bedrooms, living areas, vacuuming and suitable hard-floor mopping.
Oven interiors, inside windows, carpet steam cleaning, walls, balconies and detailed cabinetry should be requested as separate scope items.
Access, condition and exclusions
The property should be vacant or have clear working access where possible. Cleaning does not include repairs, paint removal, construction hazards, mould remediation, pest treatment, hazardous waste, heavy lifting or unsafe work. Building dust, adhesive, grout haze and damaged finishes may need a separate assessment.
Quote information
Provide the address, property type, bedrooms and bathrooms, floor surfaces, occupancy date, access or key arrangements, parking or lift details, current condition and any appliances or extras required. Photos and the available time window help us assess whether the requested checklist is realistic.
