Property managers generally work from the original condition report completed at move-in, comparing the property's current state against that baseline rather than an abstract standard of clean. This is why photos from move-in, if you have them, are genuinely useful to reference before your own clean.
Areas that see the closest attention tend to be kitchens and bathrooms specifically, along with carpet condition, wall marks, and anything noted as an existing feature in the original report, like window tracks or blinds, that's easy to forget once they blend into the background of daily life.
A property presented clean but with visible wear inconsistent with the original condition report is a common source of bond disputes, thorough cleaning matters, but so does understanding what standard you're actually being measured against.
