The purpose of an inspection isn’t for your landlord isn’t going judge your cleaning abilities, they want to see the overall condition of the property. They want to ensure that their investment is being cared for. 

As a tenant, you have the responsibility to hand over the property in the same condition you received it, clean and organised. That’s why it’s recommended that you hire fully-trained professionals for a thorough end of lease cleaning service. 

End of lease cleaners, like Absolute Domestics, follow a checklist approved by REIA made to impress even the most particular of landlords. Below is Absolute Domestics cleaning checklist to help you prep your home for inspection. 

Walls and ceilings

As a renter one of your responsibilities is to repair all the wear and tear on your walls. Keep an eye out for any suspicious dampness or mould so you can get it dealt with before your final inspection. 

Landlords always check ceiling walls and fans, so make sure you dust off those cobwebs, insect nests or markings. Don’t forget to clean those fan blades and air conditioner filters! 

Lighting fixtures and switches

Double check all your lights, make sure they work and repair any fuse bulb. Give your lighting fixtures a deep cleaning by using a microfibre cloth to get rid of any dust and grime that may have built up. 

Cupboards and Drawers

Empty out all your cupboards and drawers before giving them a good wipe down. Ensure everything is still intact and in good working condition. 

Windows and Blinds

Hot tip for cleaning windows, to avoid streaks use a good quality cleaning agent and an old newspaper when wiping down the glass. Make sure you remove all the dust from the edges, sills and tracks. 

Spot Cleaning

Give your walls a good scrub to remove all the stains and grime. We recommend using hot water and white vinegar to treat those tough stains, spills and splatters from your surfaces. 

Floors

If your rental has floorboards, check for any creaks and get them fixed as soon a possible. Give all carpeted areas a thorough vacuum and don’t skip out on mopping your floors.
