01
Apartments
In apartments, buyers are often close to every finish. Balcony doors, internal glass, kitchens, bathrooms, mirrors and floors therefore have a disproportionate impact on presentation.

Selling in South Yarra
In high-detail properties, presentation has nowhere to hide
South Yarra's housing mix includes premium apartments, period terraces, contemporary townhouses and renovated homes. Many feature extensive glass, polished kitchens, modern bathrooms and compact layouts where every visible finish contributes to the overall impression.
ExitMaid's Pre-Sale Cleaning service is designed around that presentation standard — preparing the property for professional photography and helping it feel polished when buyers walk through.
- Detailed whole-property presentation cleaning.
- Kitchens and bathrooms finished for close-up presentation.
- Internal and accessible exterior glass included.
- Floors, skirtings, tracks and visible surfaces carefully detailed.
South Yarra properties
Apartments, terraces and contemporary homes each present differently
Pre-Sale Cleaning should reflect the property being marketed. Compact apartments often depend heavily on immaculate finishes, while character homes and townhouses can require more attention across trim, flooring, windows and multiple presentation zones.
02
Period terraces & homes
Decorative trim, established flooring, older windows and renovated additions can create a mix of surfaces requiring careful attention before photography and inspections.
03
Contemporary townhouses
Modern multi-level homes can include extensive glazing, stone kitchens, multiple bathrooms and polished architectural finishes where minor residue becomes highly visible.
Pre-Sale Cleaning
Detailed where buyers will look closely
Our Pre-Sale service combines comprehensive cleaning with presentation-focused finishing, helping remove residue and marks that may otherwise stand out in professional photographs or during close-range buyer inspections.
- Oven, cooktop, rangehood and kitchen presentation detailing.
- Bathrooms, showers, screens, mirrors, vanities and wet areas detailed.
- Interior and accessible exterior window cleaning.
- Window tracks, frames, sills and skirting boards detailed.
- Wall spot cleaning, dusting and high-touch surface detailing.
- Entryways, balconies and applicable presentation areas tidied.
- Vacuuming and mopping throughout with final presentation detailing.
Photography & staging
Clean before styling limits access to key surfaces
In apartments and more compact properties especially, once staging furniture and décor are installed, access to flooring, windows, skirting boards and corners becomes more restricted.
Where professional staging is planned, completing the comprehensive clean first creates a polished baseline before the property's final styling is installed and photography begins.
- Cleaning can be coordinated around styling and staging schedules.
- Photography dates can guide the preferred cleaning date.
- High-visibility glass and reflective surfaces can be prioritised.
- CampaignCare can continue presentation support after launch.
Presentation details
Glass and reflective finishes can make or break a photograph
South Yarra properties frequently feature mirrors, glass doors, polished tapware, stone benchtops and contemporary cabinetry. These materials photograph beautifully when clean — and expose fingerprints, water marks and smears when they are not.
Our presentation detailing pays particular attention to these surfaces so they complement the property rather than distract from it.
After campaign launch
Keep high-touch properties polished between inspections
Apartment corridors, entryways, kitchen surfaces, bathrooms, floors and glass can show buyer traffic quickly once inspections begin.
ExitMaid CampaignCare provides presentation refreshes throughout the sales campaign, helping restore the polished baseline before subsequent opens, private inspections and campaign milestones.
- Presentation refreshes between open homes and inspections.
- Fingerprints and high-touch residue addressed.
- Bathrooms, kitchens, mirrors, glass and floors refreshed.
- Décor and staging items reset for presentation.
- Designed to complement the initial Pre-Sale Clean.

Frequently asked questions
South Yarra Pre-Sale Cleaning FAQs
Do you provide Pre-Sale Cleaning for South Yarra apartments?
Yes. ExitMaid services apartments, townhouses and residential homes. Please provide any building access, lift, loading-zone or parking requirements when arranging the service.
When should the clean be completed before photography?
The ideal timing depends on staging and photography. Where professional staging is planned, comprehensive cleaning is generally best completed before the staging installation.
Are balcony doors and exterior glass included?
Internal glass and accessible exterior glass are included within the comprehensive Pre-Sale scope. Elevated or externally inaccessible glass may be subject to access limitations.
Can you clean an occupied property before sale?
Yes. Pre-Sale Cleaning can be completed in occupied properties, although decluttering and preparation beforehand helps maximise access and presentation results.
Can you maintain the property during inspections?
Yes. ExitMaid CampaignCare provides ongoing presentation cleaning during the sales campaign and can refresh key areas between open homes and private inspections.
Can ExitMaid complete the final Settlement Clean?
Yes. Once the property sells, a Settlement Clean can be arranged to prepare it for the new owner. If ExitMaid has already completed the Pre-Sale Clean and the home has been maintained during the campaign, the final scope may be lighter.
Preparing to sell?
Prepare your South Yarra property for the photographs buyers will remember.
From premium apartments and terraces to contemporary townhouses and renovated homes, ExitMaid can coordinate Pre-Sale Cleaning around your staging, photography and campaign timeline.
