Property Services Tips

Practical advice from our team — cleaning hacks, end-of-lease guides, rubbish tips, and more to help you look after your property.

Floor Care

How to Clean Floors Without Water Marks

Water marks on hard floors are usually caused by too much water, dirty mop water, or mineral-heavy tap water. Here's how to get a streak-free finish every time.

  1. Sweep or vacuum thoroughly first — any grit left behind will cause streaks when wet.
  2. Use a flat microfibre mop rather than a string mop. Microfibre picks up more and leaves less moisture.
  3. Wring your mop until it's barely damp — the floor should dry within 30 seconds of mopping.
  4. Mix a small amount of floor cleaner with warm water. Too much product leaves residue that causes marks.
  5. Mop in the direction of the floorboards or tiles, working backwards towards the door.
  6. For stubborn marks, add a splash of white vinegar to your mop water — it cuts through mineral deposits.
Pro Tip

Change your mop water frequently. Dirty water is the number one cause of streaky floors. For large areas, we change water every 15-20 square metres.

Windows

How to Clean Windows Like a Professional

Cloudy, streaky windows make the whole property look tired. With the right technique, you can get crystal-clear results without expensive products.

  1. Never clean windows in direct sunlight — the heat dries the solution before you can wipe it, leaving streaks.
  2. Mix a few drops of dishwashing liquid into a bucket of warm water. That's all you need.
  3. Use a strip washer or sponge to scrub the entire pane, paying extra attention to edges and corners where grime builds up.
  4. Squeegee from top to bottom in one smooth stroke, wiping the blade with a lint-free cloth between each pass.
  5. Wipe the edges with a dry microfibre cloth to catch any drips.
  6. For a final polish, buff with scrunched-up newspaper — the ink acts as a mild abrasive and leaves glass sparkling.
Pro Tip

Clean your flyscreen first. A dirty screen will splash grime back onto clean glass the next time it rains.

Carpet Care

How to Keep Carpets Fresh Between Deep Cleans

Carpets trap dust, allergens, and odours over time. Regular maintenance between professional cleans keeps them looking and smelling fresh.

  1. Vacuum at least twice a week — go slowly and do two passes in different directions to lift more dirt from the fibres.
  2. Blot spills immediately with a clean white cloth. Never rub — rubbing pushes the stain deeper and damages fibres.
  3. For fresh stains, apply a mix of one part white vinegar to two parts water. Spray lightly and blot.
  4. Sprinkle baking soda on carpets before vacuuming to neutralise odours — leave it for 15 minutes first.
  5. Move furniture occasionally to prevent permanent indentations and wear patterns.
  6. Place doormats at every entrance — 80% of carpet dirt comes from foot traffic.
Pro Tip

Ice cubes fix carpet dents from furniture. Place an ice cube on the dent, let it melt, then fluff the fibres with a fork. Works every time.

End of Lease

End-of-Lease Cleaning Checklist to Get Your Bond Back

Bond cleaning is the most common reason tenants lose money. Agents inspect to a higher standard than most people realise. Here's what they actually look for.

  1. Start with the oven, rangehood, and exhaust fans — these are the top fail points in bond inspections. Degrease thoroughly inside and out.
  2. Clean all window tracks and sills. Agents run a finger along these. Use an old toothbrush and white vinegar to get into the grooves.
  3. Wipe down all skirting boards, door frames, and light switches — often overlooked but always checked.
  4. Remove all mould from bathroom tiles, grout, and silicone. A bleach spray left for 10 minutes usually does the trick.
  5. Clean inside all cupboards, drawers, and wardrobes — including the tops and shelf tracks.
  6. Ensure walls are free of marks, scuffs, and picture hooks. Use a magic eraser for scuff marks.
  7. Don't forget exterior areas — balconies, garages, and courtyards are part of the inspection.
Pro Tip

Take dated photos of every room before you hand back the keys. If there's a dispute, photos are your best evidence. We offer a full bond-back cleaning guarantee — if the agent isn't happy, we come back for free.

End of Lease

How to Communicate with Your Agent About Bond Cleaning

Good communication with your property manager can make or break your bond return. Here's how to handle it professionally.

  1. Ask for the agent's specific cleaning checklist before you start. Most agencies have one — it tells you exactly what they inspect.
  2. Put everything in writing. Email is better than phone calls — it creates a paper trail if there's a dispute.
  3. If using a professional cleaner, let the agent know and provide the receipt. Agents take professional cleans more seriously.
  4. Request a pre-inspection before the final one. Many agents offer this — it gives you a chance to fix issues before the official check.
  5. Know your rights under the SA Residential Tenancies Act. Fair wear and tear is not your responsibility — faded paint, minor carpet wear, and aged fixtures are normal.
  6. If the agent flags issues, respond promptly and offer to rectify rather than argue. A cooperative approach gets better results.
Pro Tip

Compare your move-in condition report with the current state. You're only responsible for damage beyond what was noted when you moved in. Keep your original condition report safe.

Rubbish Removal

Where to Dump Rubbish in Adelaide

Knowing where to take different types of waste saves you time and avoids illegal dumping fines. Here are Adelaide's main options.

  1. General household waste and bulky items can go to your local council's waste transfer station. Most Adelaide councils offer free or low-cost drop-off days.
  2. Green waste and garden clippings — check if your council offers free green waste drop-off. Many do on weekends.
  3. E-waste (TVs, computers, batteries) — take to a dedicated e-waste recycling point. Most councils run collection events throughout the year.
  4. Mattresses and furniture — some councils collect hard rubbish on scheduled dates. Check your council's website for pickup bookings.
  5. Construction and demolition waste — this needs to go to a licensed waste facility. Prices vary by weight and material type.
  6. Hazardous waste (paint, chemicals, gas bottles) — never put these in general waste. The SA EPA runs free hazardous waste drop-off days.
Pro Tip

Illegal dumping fines in SA start from $500 and can go up to $120,000 for serious offences. If you've got a big load, call us — we handle all the sorting, transport, and disposal legally and responsibly.

Rubbish Removal

How to Organise a House Clear-Out When Moving

Moving house creates mountains of stuff you don't need. A planned approach saves time, money, and stress on moving day.

  1. Start sorting at least two weeks before the move. Go room by room and create three piles: keep, donate, and dump.
  2. List usable items on Facebook Marketplace or Gumtree — furniture, appliances, and homewares sell quickly in Adelaide.
  3. Donate good-condition clothing and household items to op shops. Many offer free pickup for large donations.
  4. Book a rubbish removal service for everything that's left. We can usually do same-day or next-day pickups.
  5. Don't leave rubbish for the last day — you'll be exhausted and it'll cost you more in rush fees or skip bin hire.
  6. Check with your agent or landlord about what needs to be removed. Some things like curtain rods and fixtures should stay.
Pro Tip

We often combine rubbish removal with end-of-lease cleaning as a package. It's cheaper than booking separately and you get everything done in one visit.

Handyman

Simple Home Repairs You Can Do Yourself (And When to Call a Pro)

Some fixes are easy weekend jobs. Others need a professional. Here's how to tell the difference and save money where you can.

  1. Squeaky doors — a drop of WD-40 or cooking oil on the hinges fixes this in seconds.
  2. Loose door handles — usually just a matter of tightening the screws with a Phillips head screwdriver.
  3. Small wall holes from picture hooks — fill with a dab of wall filler, sand smooth when dry, and touch up with matching paint.
  4. Running toilet — often caused by a worn flapper valve. These cost a few dollars from Bunnings and are easy to replace.
  5. Anything involving electrical, gas, or structural work — always call a licensed professional. It's the law in SA.
  6. If a repair involves getting on the roof, working at height, or using power tools you're not confident with — call us instead.
Pro Tip

Keep a small toolkit at home: Phillips and flathead screwdrivers, adjustable spanner, tape measure, and a level. These cover 80% of basic fixes.

Painting

How to Prepare Walls for Painting

Good prep is 80% of a great paint job. Skip it and you'll see every imperfection. Here's the process professionals follow.

  1. Wash walls with sugar soap to remove grease, dust, and grime. This helps the new paint adhere properly.
  2. Fill all holes, cracks, and dents with quality filler. Apply with a putty knife and slightly overfill — you'll sand it flat.
  3. Sand filled areas smooth with 120-grit sandpaper once fully dry. Wipe away dust with a damp cloth.
  4. Use painter's tape on edges, cornices, skirting boards, and around light switches. Press it down firmly to prevent bleed.
  5. Apply a primer coat on repaired areas or bare plaster. This stops the topcoat from soaking in unevenly.
  6. Lay drop sheets on floors and cover furniture. Paint splatter travels further than you'd expect.
Pro Tip

If you're painting over a dark colour with a lighter one, tint your primer to a mid-tone. It reduces the number of topcoats needed from three to two, saving time and paint.

Cleaning

How to Deep Clean a Kitchen Properly

The kitchen is the hardest room to clean because of grease buildup. Here's how to tackle it systematically for a truly deep clean.

  1. Start with the oven — spray degreaser inside, close the door, and let it sit for 20 minutes while you clean other areas.
  2. Pull out the rangehood filters and soak them in hot water with dishwashing liquid and baking soda.
  3. Wipe down all cabinet fronts with a warm water and sugar soap mix. Pay attention to handles where grease accumulates.
  4. Clean the splashback thoroughly — grease splatters build up invisibly and yellow over time.
  5. Scrub the sink with baking soda paste, including around the drain and taps. Polish stainless steel with a drop of baby oil on a cloth.
  6. Finish by mopping the floor, getting under the fridge and behind the bin — areas that collect crumbs and spills.
Pro Tip

Microwave a bowl of water with lemon slices for 3 minutes. The steam loosens caked-on food inside, and the lemon deodorises. Wipe clean effortlessly afterwards.

Cleaning

How to Remove Common Stains from Any Surface

Different stains need different treatments. Using the wrong method can set a stain permanently. Here's a quick reference guide.

  1. Red wine — blot immediately, cover with salt to absorb, then rinse with cold water. Never use hot water on wine stains.
  2. Coffee and tea — mix one tablespoon of white vinegar with dishwashing liquid and warm water. Blot, don't rub.
  3. Grease and oil — sprinkle cornstarch or baking soda on the stain to absorb the oil, then brush off and treat with dish soap.
  4. Ink — dab with rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball. Place a cloth underneath to catch the dissolved ink as it transfers.
  5. Blood — always use cold water. Hot water cooks the protein and sets the stain. Hydrogen peroxide works well on white fabrics.
  6. Grass — pre-treat with white vinegar, then wash as normal. For stubborn grass stains, rubbing alcohol works well.
Pro Tip

The golden rule of stain removal: act fast, blot don't rub, and always test your cleaning solution on a hidden area first. Speed is the single biggest factor in whether a stain comes out.

Rubbish Removal

Adelaide Council Hard Rubbish Collection Guide

Most Adelaide councils offer free hard rubbish collection, but the rules differ. Here's how to make the most of it.

  1. Check your council's website for collection dates and booking requirements. Most require you to book online or call ahead.
  2. Common items accepted: furniture, mattresses, white goods (doors removed), timber, and metal. Each council has specific limits.
  3. Items NOT accepted: green waste, hazardous materials, tyres, gas bottles, building rubble, and e-waste. These need separate disposal.
  4. Place items on the kerb no earlier than the evening before collection. Putting them out too early can result in a fine.
  5. Bundle loose items together where possible. Keep the pile neat and within the size limits stated by your council.
  6. If you miss your council pickup or have more than the limit, give us a call — we handle overflow and urgent pickups any day of the week.
Pro Tip

Many councils now offer on-demand bookings instead of scheduled dates. City of Adelaide, Charles Sturt, and Marion all have online booking systems. Check yours — it's more flexible than waiting for the annual pickup.

Commercial

How to Keep Your Office Clean Between Professional Visits

Professional office cleaning keeps things in great shape, but daily habits make a big difference between visits.

  1. Wipe down desks and keyboards at the end of each day. Disinfectant wipes take 30 seconds and prevent germ buildup.
  2. Empty desk bins daily — even small bins start to smell, especially with food scraps.
  3. Keep the kitchen tidy. A rule of "clean as you go" prevents the pile-up that makes communal kitchens unbearable.
  4. Encourage staff to manage their own desk clutter. A clean desk is easier to wipe down during professional visits.
  5. Place sanitiser and wipes at entry points and shared equipment like printers and meeting room tables.
  6. Report spills, broken fixtures, or maintenance issues immediately rather than letting them build up.
Pro Tip

We offer flexible commercial cleaning contracts — daily, weekly, or fortnightly depending on your office size and traffic. A tailored schedule keeps costs down while keeping your workspace consistently clean.
