End-of-Lease Cleaning Checklist for Port Macquarie Rentals

Getting your full bond back in Port Macquarie comes down to detail. Local property managers do the same walk-through every time, and the same handful of things trip tenants up. Here's the room-by-room checklist we use on every bond clean.

Kitchen

• Oven — inside, racks, glass door, seals.
• Rangehood — filters degreased, exterior wiped.
• Stovetop and knobs (remove and clean underneath).
• Inside all cupboards and drawers, including runners.
• Splashback grout — usually the first thing agents point at.
• Fridge cavity (if leaving one behind) and seals.

Bathrooms & laundry

• Grout and silicone — mould treated, not just wiped.
• Shower screens de-scaled to clear.
• Exhaust fan covers removed and washed.
• Toilet base and behind bowl.
• Under the vanity and inside the cabinet.

Living areas & bedrooms

• All walls spot-cleaned for scuffs and marks.
• Skirtings, architraves and door tops (agents run a finger along).
• Light switches, power points and door handles.
• Inside wardrobes, tracks and mirror doors.
• Ceiling fans — blades, not just base.
• Blinds — every slat, plus the top rail.

Windows, tracks and screens

• Inside and outside glass.
• Every window track vacuumed then wiped.
• Flyscreens removed, washed and reseated.

Floors

• Carpets professionally steam-cleaned (keep the receipt — most Port Macquarie agents ask for it).
• Hard floors mopped, edges and corners done by hand.

Outside

• Lawns mowed, edges trimmed, garden beds weeded.
• Cobwebs removed from eaves and outdoor lights.
• Garage floor swept, oil stains treated.
• Bins washed inside if provided.
