When the end of a warehouse lease approaches, one of the most important steps for tenants is meeting their make good obligations. These obligations ensure the property is returned to its original or agreed condition before handover to the landlord. While repairs and repainting are often top of mind, cleaning is just as critical.
A professional warehouse clean leaves the space spotless, compliant, and ready for the next occupant. At Sydney Sweep and Scrub, we specialise in large-scale sweeping and scrubbing services that take the stress out of make good projects.

What are warehouse make good obligations?
In commercial property leases, make good obligations are conditions set by landlords requiring tenants to return the premises to a specific standard. For warehouses, this often means:
- Removing rubbish, equipment, and pallets
- Repairing damage caused during the tenancy
- Restoring surfaces such as floors and walls
- Undertaking thorough cleaning before handover.
Failing to meet these obligations can result in withheld bonds or costly disputes. That’s why investing in professional cleaning is an essential part of any warehouse make good plan.
Why professional cleaning matters in make good projects
Warehouses see heavy use. Forklifts, machinery, and stock handling leave behind layers of dust, oil, and grime. Attempting to clean a facility of this size with basic tools is time-consuming and rarely delivers the results required by landlords.
Professional sweeping and scrubbing equipment can clean large floor areas quickly and effectively, removing years of built-up dirt and stains. Engaging a specialist team not only saves time and effort but also ensures you meet lease conditions without the risk of rejection or extra charges.
Key cleaning tasks for a lease-ready warehouse
Restoring a warehouse to lease-ready condition involves more than a quick sweep. A professional service typically includes:
- Sweeping and scrubbing floors – removing dust, dirt, tyre marks, oil, and grease with industrial-grade scrubbers.
- High-pressure washing – ideal for stubborn stains, loading docks, or external areas that need a deep clean.
- Rubbish and debris removal – clearing packaging materials, stray pallets, and leftover waste from operations.
- Detail cleaning – tackling corners, entryways, mezzanines, and other areas often overlooked during routine cleaning.
By addressing these tasks, tenants can be confident their warehouse is fully prepared for inspection.
Avoiding disputes with your landlord or property manager
One of the biggest risks when moving out of a warehouse is a dispute with the landlord. If a property manager deems the space unclean or below standard, they may withhold your bond or charge additional fees for rectification work.
Hiring a professional make good cleaning team reduces this risk. Not only will your warehouse meet expectations, but you’ll also have peace of mind knowing the job was done properly. Many providers, including Sydney Sweep and Scrub, offer before-and-after documentation for added reassurance.
