End-of-Lease Cleaning Checklist Geelong: Agent-Approved & Inspection-Ready

Intro

Moving out? This end-of-lease cleaning checklist is built from what Geelong property managers actually look for at final inspection. Use it to DIY with confidence — or hand it to us and we’ll get you agent-ready.

Whole-Home Basics (Every Room)

• Dust from high to low (fans, lights, cornices → skirtings).

• Wipe switches, door handles, doors (both sides), and frames.

• Clean inside/outside of all built-in cupboards and wardrobes; remove liners/hooks.

• Wash windows where reachable; vacuum tracks; wipe sills and flyscreens.

• Spot clean walls; remove marks, cobwebs.

• Vacuum blinds/curtains (follow fabric care).

• Final floors: vacuum edges first, then full vacuum + mop (incl. behind doors).
