Bring the handover requirements into the conversation
If your landlord, property manager, buyer, or lease paperwork includes a cleaning checklist, use it to prepare your request. Summarize the tasks in the form and discuss the full requirements with the team during follow-up. A checklist helps clarify the outcome you are seeking and which items require a separate decision.
Include the bedroom and bathroom count, approximate property size, and the date you expect to hand over the keys. If there is a walkthrough or inspection planned, mention the timing. The team confirms whether the proposed work and schedule can fit your request before any appointment is booked.
Make room for the cleaning work
Tell us when furniture, boxes, and personal belongings will be removed. Empty rooms can make floor areas and other surfaces accessible for the work you agree on. If you will still be moving during the requested visit, explain which areas will be ready and where access may change.
Moving out can reveal details that were hidden behind everyday living. Let the team know about kitchen buildup, bathroom fixtures, dusty accessible surfaces, or areas that need extra attention. Requests for appliance interiors, cabinets, drawers, or other detailed tasks should be named individually so the estimate reflects the work you want reviewed.
Keep cleaning, repairs, and approvals clear
The estimate conversation is the place to describe the property's condition and distinguish cleaning requests from other moving tasks. Wall repairs, damaged surfaces, carpet replacement, large-item removal, and construction debris require their own discussion. Share the details you know rather than assuming every handover task is part of a cleaning visit.
A cleaning service also cannot decide a security deposit or determine whether a property manager will approve a handover. Those decisions belong to the relevant parties and their requirements. Fabiola's can review your cleaning request, confirm the agreed work, and help you plan the visit around your move. Keep a copy of your checklist for that conversation.
