POST-OCCUPATION CLEANING

leaving your space inspection-ready.

Post-occupation cleaning is the deep clean you perform when you move out of a space and need to hand it back in great condition. If you’re staring at dusty corners, scuffed walls, dirty carpets, or a kitchen that “just won’t come right,” CSG Cleaning can take that stress off your plate.

We help you hand back the keys with confidence and avoid move-out delays, complaints, or extra charges.

What is post-occupation cleaning?

Post-occupation cleaning is also called:

move-out cleaning
end-of-lease cleaning
tenant exit cleaning
handover cleaning
vacate cleaning

It goes beyond normal cleaning. It targets the accumulated dirt and marks that landlords and property managers notice during inspections.

When you need post-occupation cleaning

You’ll usually need post-occupation cleaning when:

Your business is moving offices
Your lease is ending, and you need a final inspection clean
You’re closing or relocating a retail store, restaurant, gym, or branch
You’re handing a space back to a landlord, centre management, or body corporate
You’ve done minor repairs or touch-ups, and now there’s dust everywhere

If you’re thinking, “We’ll just do it ourselves,” that’s fair — until the checklist grows and the deadline hits.

What’s included in our post-occupation cleaning service

Every site is different, but a proper post-occupation cleaning clean usually includes the key areas below.

Deep cleaning of all surfaces

Floors, skirtings, corners, and edges cleaned properly
Walls spot-cleaned for marks and fingerprints (where paint allows)
Doors, frames, handles, switches, and touchpoints wiped and sanitised
Built-in cupboards and shelves wiped down (inside if empty and accessible)

Bathrooms and kitchens are sanitised

Toilets, urinals, basins, sinks, taps, and counters are disinfected
Tiles and splashbacks cleaned
Smells and grime are handled where they build up most

Glass and window detailing

Interior windows and glass cleaned
Frames, sills, and window tracks detailed (dust hides here)

Floor care and carpet cleaning (where needed)

Hard floors washed and detailed
Optional: buffing or polishing, depending on floor type
Professional carpet cleaning for stains, traffic marks, and odours (recommended for most move-outs)

High and hidden areas

Light fittings cleaned (where accessible and safe)
High dusting on ledges and vents
Cobweb and dust removal in corners and above doors

Waste and final tidy (as agreed)

Bagging of general cleaning waste
Removal of leftover packaging and small debris based on site rules
Final checks so the space looks “inspection ready”

What landlords and property managers usually check (and how to pass)

If you want a smooth handover, these are the common problem spots:

Bathrooms (smell, grout, and behind doors)
Kitchens (grease, cupboards, sink areas)
Corners and skirtings (dust lines)
Glass (smears and tracks)
Floors and carpets (stains and traffic marks)
Light fittings and vents (dust build-up)

This is exactly what our post-occupation cleaning checklist is built around.

Our process: simple, fast, and inspection-focused

Quick scope (walk-through or call)
Clear checklist based on your lease or inspection needs
Cleaning team on site with commercial equipment
Detail clean + quality check
Handover ready, so you can focus on your move

If you’re moving over a weekend or need after-hours work, we can plan around your deadline.

Benefits of post-occupation cleaning

Save time and avoid move-out delays – A failed inspection can delay your handover and create extra admin. A proper post-occupation cleaning helps prevent that.
Reduce the risk of extra charges – Landlords may charge for extra cleaning, repairs, or call-backs if the space isn’t returned clean. Getting it done right upfront helps you avoid surprises.
Keep a good relationship with the landlord – Leaving a clean space shows respect and professionalism — and it makes future references easier.
Less stress during a busy move – Moving is already a lot. Let us handle the cleaning while your team focuses on packing, logistics, and setup.
