Why an empty home is the best time
With the furniture gone, every bit of carpet can be reached, including the edges and the spots that sat under beds and couches. It is the best chance to give the carpet a full clean.
Planning your move-out
A little planning keeps the handover on track.
- Book the carpet clean after the furniture is out
- Schedule it after the general clean, so dust and grime from walls and floors do not land on clean carpet
- Leave time for drying before the inspection
- Mention pet accidents or specific marks so they get extra attention
What your lease may ask for
Some leases and property managers ask for professional carpet cleaning and a receipt at the end of a tenancy. Check your lease and entry condition report so you know what is expected.
Queensland tenancy rules around carpet cleaning can change. The Residential Tenancies Authority (RTA) is the best place to check your obligations.
Landlords and property managers
Between tenancies is the ideal time to refresh the carpets. Property managers can request a quote with the address, access details and the number of rooms, and the booking can be arranged around key collection.
