Cleaning Checklist Melbourne
Use this checklist to brief a clearer clean: rooms, surfaces, condition, access, timing and proof needs. It helps Teddy confirm the real scope before the booking.
Scope firstClear rooms and surfaces make the quote more accurate.
Extras namedOvens, carpets, windows, tracks and walls should be agreed early.
Proof readyThe same checklist can guide optional photos and completion notes.
No guessworkAccess, parking and timing details prevent avoidable surprises.
Before booking
A good clean starts with a useful brief
A checklist does not mean every item is automatically included. It is a way to name what matters so Teddy can confirm time, price, access and priority areas before the clean begins.
See the cleaning price guide if you want to understand how these details affect the quote.
Send these details first
- Service type: regular, deep, carpet, window, office or end-of-lease
- Bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens, living areas and stairs
- Floor types, carpeted rooms, windows and high-traffic zones
- Condition notes: dust, grease, soap build-up, pet hair or heavy use
- Access notes: parking, lift, keys, gates, pets and preferred entry time
- Priority items if time needs to be focused carefully
Room checklist
Use the checklist to name the work, not hide it
Choose the items that apply to your property. Anything outside the agreed quote should be discussed before the clean is booked.
Bathrooms
Toilets, basins, mirrors, taps, showers, bath, glass, tiles, wet-area build-up, floors and any mould or grout concerns.
Bedrooms and living areas
Dusting, surfaces, skirting, mirrors, wardrobes where agreed, floors, high-touch points and priority clutter notes.
Floors and carpets
Vacuuming, mopping, carpeted rooms, stairs, furniture movement, heavy traffic zones, drying needs and access limits.
Windows and glass
Inside glass, outside glass, tracks, screens, doors, height, access, weathering and any panes that should be skipped.
Office and commercial
Desks, kitchens, bathrooms, bins, entry glass, meeting rooms, touch points, staff count and the preferred cleaning window.
Visible Clean
The checklist can become the proof trail
For jobs where visibility matters, the same room list can guide completion notes and optional proof photos, as long as privacy and site rules are clear.
- Confirm the rooms or zones that need proof before booking
- Name photos that are useful, such as oven, bathroom, carpets or windows
- Respect private rooms, documents, people and sensitive items
- Note access limits, existing damage or areas outside the agreed scope
- Use completion notes for offices, rentals and remote owners who cannot inspect immediately
FAQs
Cleaning checklist questions
Can I use this checklist for a cleaning quote?
Yes. Send the checklist items that apply to your property so Teddy can confirm the scope, timing and price factors before the booking.
Does every item belong in a standard clean?
No. This is a briefing guide. Extras such as ovens, inside cupboards, tracks, walls, carpets, high-reach areas and proof photos should be agreed before booking.
Should I send photos before the clean?
Photos can help for deep cleaning, move-out work, carpets, windows, access issues or heavy build-up. Send only what is useful and safe to share.
Can the checklist be used for end-of-lease cleaning?
Yes, but agent checklists and property condition matter. Add the inspection date, oven needs, windows, carpets, walls and any proof-photo requests.
