Apartment End of Lease Cleaning Checklist (Units & High-Rise)

Checklist · 5 min read

Quick answer: For an apartment bond clean, cover the kitchen (including oven and rangehood), bathroom (tiles, grout and mould), all rooms (walls, skirting, wardrobes, window tracks), the balcony, and any storage. Plan around building access, lift bookings and parking, and book carpet steam cleaning if your lease requires it.

Apartment cleaning checklist

  • Kitchen: oven, cooktop, rangehood, splashback, benches, sink and inside all cupboards.
  • Bathroom: shower screen, tiles, grout, mould, toilet, vanity and exhaust fan.
  • Living and bedrooms: walls, skirting, switches, wardrobes, internal windows, tracks and floors.
  • Balcony: swept and wiped down, glass balustrades cleaned.
  • Throughout: cobwebs, air vents, ceiling fans and all touch points.

Apartment-specific tips

  • Book the lift and loading dock if you need them for moving and cleaning.
  • Check whether visitor parking is available for the cleaners.
  • Salt air near the coast can leave marks on glass and tracks, so allow extra time there.

We clean a lot of units across Sydney, from Bondi and Mascot to Chatswood. See what is included on our services page.

Frequently asked questions

Is cleaning an apartment cheaper than a house?
Often, yes, because there is usually less floor area. We price by the number of bedrooms, from $329 for a studio or 1-bedroom, inclusive of GST.
Do you clean high-rise apartments?
Yes. We clean units and high-rise apartments to the same real-estate-standard checklist as houses. Just let us know about building access when you book.
