Every clean we do follows a detailed, room-by-room checklist — the same one, every time, for every home. No guesswork. No shortcuts. Browse all three service checklists below or download your copy.
Select which service checklist you'd like to view
This is the exact checklist our cleaners follow on every general cleaning visit — weekly, fortnightly, or one-off. It covers all the areas that matter most for keeping your home consistently fresh and hygienic. Every item gets done, every single time.
If you'd like to add anything beyond this list — inside oven, linen change, interior windows — those are available as paid add-ons. Just let us know when booking.
Our deep clean checklist goes significantly further than a general clean. It covers every area that accumulates grime over time — inside appliances, grout lines, behind furniture, window tracks, light fittings and more. This is the same checklist our deep cleaning team follows on every single booking.
Everything marked ✓ is included in the flat-rate price. Everything marked ★ is an optional add-on available at extra cost. View our full pricing guide for rates.
This is the REIQ-compliant checklist we use for every end of lease clean in Sydney — the same standard checklist that property managers and real estate agents use to assess properties at the end of a tenancy. Every item gets done. Every one.
This checklist is also available to tenants doing their own clean — use it to make sure you haven't missed anything before your final inspection. For professional service with a bond-back guarantee, book with us.
A quick reference guide to help you choose the right service for your situation.

Eight years of cleaning Sydney homes has taught us a few things. Here's what makes the biggest difference.
Start with ceiling corners and light fittings, work through surfaces, and finish with floors. Dust and debris fall downward — clean in the opposite direction and you're redoing your work.
Spray oven cleaner and let it penetrate for 20–30 minutes before scrubbing. Apply descaler to shower screens and leave it to break down calcium. Time dramatically reduces effort.
A flat sponge mop does nothing for grout. You need a stiff-bristle grout brush and a proper grout cleaner. Most people spend 10x longer than necessary using the wrong tool entirely.
Using the same cloth from the bathroom to the kitchen spreads bacteria, not cleanliness. We use colour-coded microfibre cloths changed per room — so nothing cross-contaminates.
The space behind your fridge and oven is one of the most bacteria-laden spots in your home. Most people never clean it. At a deep clean or end of lease — it's always on the list.
After your end of lease clean — before handing back keys — photograph every room yourself. If any dispute arises later, timestamped photos from multiple parties are your strongest protection.
