Property Maintenance Checklist

Prioritise the Basics 

You should start by prioritising regular cleaning tasks. These include dusting and vacuuming all surfaces, sweeping and mopping the floors, and cleaning windows and mirrors. Pay special attention to high-traffic areas and frequently touched surfaces like doorknobs, light switches, countertops, etc. Use microfibre cloths and environmentally-friendly cleaning products to minimise the use of harsh chemicals and reduce environmental impact.

With our busy lifestyles, finding time to clean and maintain a property can be challenging. You can keep your property well maintained by hiring property maintenance services.

Deep Cleaning and Organisation

Besides regular cleaning, it is important to schedule deep cleaning sessions to tackle areas that are often overlooked. This includes cleaning upholstery, carpets, and curtains to remove embedded dirt and allergens. Remember to rotate and vacuum mattresses to maintain their cleanliness and longevity. Clear out and organise closets, cabinets, and storage spaces to maximise efficiency and reduce clutter.

Property maintenance services cover various aspects of cleaning, from regular dusting and vacuuming to deep cleaning and stain removal. 

Bathroom and Kitchen Care
 

The bathroom and kitchen are two areas that require special attention due to their susceptibility to germs and bacteria. In the bathroom, thoroughly clean and disinfect toilets, sinks, showers, and bathtubs. Remove mold and mildew from tiles and grout using appropriate cleaning products. Regularly wash bath mats, shower curtains, and towels to maintain hygiene.

In the kitchen, focus on cleaning appliances, wiping down surfaces, disinfecting sinks, cutting boards, and countertops. Pay extra attention to the refrigerator, oven, and microwave, as well as the inside and outside of cabinets and drawers.  

Property maintenance services have the required skills, knowledge, and training to manage a wide range of cleaning chores. 

Outdoor Maintenance  

Don't forget to extend your property maintenance checklist to the outdoors. Regularly clean and maintain outdoor spaces such as patios, decks, and driveways. Sweep away debris, trim overgrown vegetation, and keep the gutters clean to prevent water damage. Consider pressure washing exterior walls and windows to restore their shine. If you have a garden or lawn, make sure to mow the grass, prune plants, and remove weeds regularly to keep the outdoor area looking neat and tidy.  

Property maintenance services ensure a clean, well-maintained, and healthy living environment.

Seasonal Tasks  

Seasonal cleaning tasks are an important part of property maintenance. These include deep cleaning carpets and rugs, cleaning air conditioning filters, and inspecting and cleaning chimneys before the winter season. In spring, focus on decluttering and organising, as well as cleaning windows, screens, and blinds to let in the fresh air. Autumn is a good time to clean gutters, check the weather stripping, and prepare outdoor areas for colder weather. 

Property maintenance services conduct routine inspections to quickly identify and address any maintenance issues.  

Property Maintenance Tips and Tricks

Utilise Effective Cleaning Techniques 

Besides having a checklist, applying effective cleaning techniques can make your maintenance routine more efficient. For example, when dusting, start from the top and work your way down to avoid recontamination of surfaces. Use the "S" motion when wiping surfaces to remove dust and grime effectively. For stubborn stains, let cleaning solutions sit for a few minutes before scrubbing to allow the product to penetrate and loosen the dirt. When cleaning windows, try using a vinegar and water solution for streak-free results.

Pay Attention to Air Quality 

Maintaining good air quality is essential for a healthy living environment. Regularly change HVAC filters to prevent the buildup of dust, pollen, and other allergens. Clean air vents and ducts to improve air circulation. Consider using air purifiers to remove airborne particles and allergens. Open windows occasionally to let in fresh air and promote ventilation. All these measures contribute to cleaner and healthier indoor air.

You can schedule regular inspections for your ventilation, heating, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems with property maintenance services.

Don't Neglect Neglected Areas 

Certain areas in a property often go unnoticed during regular cleaning routines. This may include light fixtures, baseboards, behind appliances, under furniture, etc. These overlooked areas can harbour dust, dirt, and germs. By paying attention to these often-overlooked spots, you can maintain a cleaner and healthier living space.

Implement Green Cleaning Practices  

Opt for environmentally-friendly cleaning products that are non-toxic and biodegradable. Consider making your own cleaning solutions using natural ingredients like vinegar, lemon juice, baking soda, etc. The alternatives are not only safer for you and your family but also better for the environment. Also, choose cleaning tools and equipment made from sustainable materials like microfibre cloths, reusable mop pads, etc.
