Our 72-Point Cleaning Checklist
At Extreme Clean, we believe in setting the highest standard — and then exceeding it. Our comprehensive 72-point cleaning checklist ensures no detail is overlooked, from the obvious to the often-forgotten corners. Whether you’re preparing for handover, moving in or out, or simply want a deep clean that leaves your space spotless, our checklist-driven approach guarantees consistent, top-to-bottom results every time.
Each item on our list is backed by professional know-how, safe and effective cleaning products, and a commitment to excellence. From disinfecting light switches and wiping down skirting boards, to deep-cleaning behind appliances and sanitising bathroom fittings, we cover every inch with care.
Why It Matters:
Accountability – Know exactly what’s being cleaned
Consistency – Every team follows the same high standards
Transparency – You can see the value in every detail
Results – A visibly cleaner, healthier space
Let our checklist be your assurance: when we say it’s clean, we mean it’s extremely clean.
