 Real estate agents evaluate cleanliness during inspections by looking for a well maintained and spotless property that meets the lease agreement’s standards. They focus on key areas like the kitchen, bathroom, floors, and windows, checking for grease, grime, and stains. Agents also inspect walls, skirting boards, carpets, and light fittings to see if they are free from dust and marks. Attention is given to hidden spots such as behind appliances and inside cupboards. Outdoor areas like balconies or patios should also be tidy. A property that looks and smells fresh creates a positive impression. Meeting these expectations helps tenants secure their bond refund and shows respect for the property.

 In a study by evolutionary biologist William W. Muir, experiments in livestock breeding determined that “competition among domesticated plants or animals can have a dramatic negative impact on yield of a stand or farm.” Muir found that breeding designed to produce more passive rather than competitive hens eventually allowed the chickens to become healthier and produce more eggs than they previously did. This was in large part because the more passive chickens were no longer aggressively competing with each other for food and other resources.
