What Is A Sparkle Clean?
A sparkle clean is the final, detailed clean that takes a new build from finished to handover-ready. Here's what's included and why it matters.
Where it fits
Sparkle cleans follow the builders clean and any second-stage detail. It's the final polish before viewings or handover.
What's included
Glass inside and out, ironmongery polished, frames and skirtings wiped, sanitaryware buffed, all appliance interiors cleaned.
Wet rooms
Limescale and protective stickers removed, grout cleaned, chrome polished.
Why it sells
Buyers form opinions in the first 30 seconds. A proper sparkle protects asking price and reduces snags.
