Even a thorough DIY clean tends to miss the same handful of spots. Here's what to double check before your final inspection.

Inside the oven and range hood filter

Baked-on grease is the single most commonly flagged item across almost every property type.

Window tracks and sills

Dust and grime build up in these grooves and are highly visible under close inspection, even when the glass looks clean.

Skirting boards and door frame tops

Easy to overlook at eye level, but dust collects steadily and is one of the first things a detail-focused inspector checks.

Exhaust fans

Bathroom and kitchen exhaust fans collect dust and grease that's rarely part of a regular weekly clean routine.

Behind and under large appliances

If appliances are staying with the property, checking behind and underneath them catches build-up that's invisible during day-to-day living.
