Cleaning before property photography and open homes

Is pre-sale cleaning the same as rental inspection cleaning?

Pre-sale cleaning prepares a home for sale photography, buyer inspections and open homes. For an occupied home needing a single clean before a routine rental inspection, see our one-off house cleaning service. If you are moving out and handing back the keys, see end-of-lease cleaning. We confirm the appropriate scope and written quotation for your property.

When should I book?

Tell us the photography or inspection date when enquiring. Allow time for the agreed cleaning and any carpet drying before visitors arrive. Your appointment is confirmed when we reply.

Can you clean an occupied home?

Yes. Before cleaning day, clear kitchen benches and bathroom vanities, remove loose items from floors, and make the agreed rooms accessible. Secure valuables and flag fragile fittings or damaged surfaces. Tell us about parking, stairs and lift bookings. Decluttering, moving belongings and property styling are excluded.

How much does pre-sale cleaning cost in Melbourne?

Pre-sale cleaning is quoted individually. The price depends on property size, condition, accessible rooms and the extra detail work requested. Send room photos, your cleaning priorities and the photography or inspection deadline. We assess the details or arrange a walk-through, then confirm the scope and price in writing.

Need carpets included? Read about carpet steam cleaning and drying time. Household items to remove can be assessed separately through our residential rubbish removal service.

Preparing the garage or paved areas for sale? Our garage floor and paver pressure cleaning in Melbourne is assessed and quoted separately. Send surface photos, approximate area, water-supply and drainage details; garage floors must be empty.

For vendors and sales agents

Pre-sale cleaning for Melbourne real estate campaigns

Preparing a residential property for sale? Request a cleaning quotation around the photography, styling and inspection schedule. Availability and the cleaning scope are confirmed before booking.

Can a real estate agent request a quote?

Yes. Agents, sales administrators and vendors can enquire about an occupied or vacant home. Tell us who will approve the quotation, arrange access and receive the invoice, so these details can be agreed before work begins.

Should cleaning happen before photography?

Plan the clean before the photographer or open-home visitors arrive, allowing time for the work and any carpet drying. Share any painting, repairs, removalist or styling appointments so we can discuss a practical sequence. We confirm availability rather than automatically reserving a date.

What should an agent send for a quote?

Include the property suburb, size, occupied or vacant status, condition photos, required cleaning areas and photography or inspection deadline. Add the contact person, key arrangements, parking and lift access where relevant.

Preparing a rental for handover instead? See our end-of-lease cleaning scope. The services have different purposes, so we agree the appropriate scope for each property.
