Open Home Cleaning in Christchurch

Open home cleaning is a fast reset between viewings, not a deep clean. The house was already prepared before the campaign started — this is the hour that makes it look untouched again after the last thirty people walked through it. PrestigePro handles open home preparation across Christchurch. WHAT THIS IS, AND WHAT IT IS NOT If your property has not been cleaned for the campaign yet, you want a pre-sale clean before the photographer. This service is the maintenance after that: entrance, floors, glass, bathrooms, kitchen surfaces and a fingerprint pass, timed for the morning of a viewing. Booking a full clean before every open home is money wasted. Booking nothing between them is why houses look progressively more lived-in over a four-week campaign. WHAT THIRTY VISITORS ACTUALLY LEAVE Marks on the entrance glass and front door where people push rather than pull. Footprints through the hallway and living areas, especially in a Christchurch winter. Fingerprints on every appliance, benchtop edge, handrail and cupboard front — buyers open things. Bathroom taps and mirrors touched and left spotted. And the front path, which nobody thinks about and every buyer walks up. None of it is dirt exactly. All of it reads as a house that is being lived in hard while it is on the market. TIMING Two to three hours before the viewing. Early enough that floors are dry and there is no cleaning smell, late enough that nothing has been touched since. Saturday and Sunday morning slots book out first during a busy campaign. If your open homes are on a fixed schedule, tell us the whole run at the start and we will hold the times rather than you calling each week. THE ENTRANCE AND THE FIRST ROOM Buyers make up their minds fast and then look for evidence. The front path, the door, the entrance glass and the first room they walk into carry more weight than anywhere else in the house. We start there and work in, rather than the other way round, because if time runs short those are the areas that must be right. BETWEEN CAMPAIGNS AND AFTER If the property is tenanted while on the market, coordinating access is usually the hard part. We can work with your agent or property manager on scheduling and keys rather than putting it on the tenant. After an unconditional sale, most sellers want one final clean before settlement for the buyer's pre-settlement inspection. That is a smaller job than a bond clean — no inspection standard to meet, just a property handed over properly. Tell us it is a settlement clean and we scope it that way.
