Your Service Checklist Questions Answered

What are these cleaning checklists for?

Our cleaning checklists outline the essential tasks we perform across different services. They are designed to give you a clear idea of what’s included and ensure nothing is overlooked.

Are the checklists the same for every property?

No, every property is different. The checklists provide a general guide, but we tailor our cleaning solutions to your unique needs, size of the space, and any special requirements you may have.

Can I request changes to the checklist?

Yes, absolutely. If your property needs extra attention in certain areas (e.g., high-traffic zones, sensitive equipment, or detailed sanitisation), we can adjust the checklist to match your priorities.

Do these checklists guarantee bond return for end-of-lease cleaning?

Our end-of-lease cleaning checklist is designed to meet most real estate agent and landlord requirements. While we can’t control final inspection outcomes, following our detailed checklist greatly increases your chances of a full bond refund.

Are the checklists available for download?

Yes, we can provide a copy of the checklist in PDF format upon request, so you have a record of what’s been completed.

What if I don’t see a checklist for my type of property?

If your property type isn’t listed, simply contact us. Our team can create a tailored cleaning checklist based on your industry or personal requirements.
