Routine rental inspections are short, and they form a written record. A property manager walking through a tidy, clean home writes a clean report, and a clean report protects your tenancy and your reference. Kiri's Spring Cleaning provides inspection cleans across Christchurch timed to your inspection date.
An inspection clean is lighter than a bond clean but heavier than a normal weekly tidy. It focuses on the things inspectors photograph: kitchens, bathrooms, mould, window tracks, oven condition and general presentation.
We can usually turn these around at short notice, which matters when the inspection notice only gives you a week or two.
Inspectors work quickly and check the same things every time. We clean for that, rather than spreading effort evenly across the whole property.
Christchurch rentals get cold and damp through winter, and surface mould around windows and in bathrooms is the most common inspection comment in this city. We treat and remove surface mould as part of an inspection clean, and we will point out where the cause is ventilation or heating rather than cleaning.
That distinction matters. If the mould keeps returning, it is a Healthy Homes issue for the landlord to address, and having it noted early works in your favour.
Inspection notices are short. We keep capacity for quick jobs and can often clean within a few days of your call, including evenings if you are working.
You do not need to be home. Many tenants leave a key or arrange access through their property manager.
We also work directly for owners and managers who want a property presented before an inspection, a valuation, a photo shoot or an open home. Where a tenancy is being marketed while occupied, a presentation clean makes a measurable difference to photos and viewings.
One or two days before is ideal so the property is still fresh on the day. Give us as much notice as you can, though we do keep room for short notice bookings.
No. A bond clean is a full property reset including inside all cupboards and wardrobes. An inspection clean targets the areas an inspector actually checks, so it costs less.
Yes, we remove surface mould as part of the clean. If it keeps coming back, that usually points to ventilation or heating rather than cleaning.
No. A key, a lockbox or access arranged through your property manager is all we need.
