Start with your property manager’s checklist
Request the Perth-specific exit checklist. It highlights hot spots that cause re-cleans.
Hit the high-impact items first
- Oven & rangehood: Degrease, clean filters, and polish glass.
- Bathrooms: Descale shower screens and taps; scrub grout lines.
- Walls & skirtings: Sugar-soap marks, wipe door frames and switches.
- Windows & tracks: Vacuum tracks with a brush attachment, then wipe.
Carpets: when to steam clean
Check your lease. If required, steam clean and keep the receipt for agents. Open windows/fans for 2–6 hour dry time.
Plan to avoid extra rent days
Schedule the final clean the day before handover. Do a quick walk-through video and photos for records.
Tip: Don’t buy excessive products. Vinegar + bicarb + an all-purpose cleaner handles 80% of tasks.
Money-saving takeaway: Prioritising agent hot-spots and smart timing can save $200+ on re-cleans and extra rent in Perth.
