This type of cleaning is not limited in time and the cleaners will stay as long as it’s needed to make sure every room in the property is thoroughly cleaned from top to bottom. This includes the living room, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, toilet and hallway.
The move-out cleaners are fully trained and vetted, and come equipped with all the necessary tools and detergents to carry out the service.
The end of tenancy cleaners specialise in this type of deep cleaning. They use a detailed, agency-approved checklist to ensure you’ll get your full deposit back.
This guide will help you understand the basic end of tenancy cleaning tips and know-how tenants should take under full consideration.
More than 50% of all deposit disputes happen due to inadequate clean up or include a cleaning-related issue after the final move-out inspection. Doing your end-of-tenancy cleaning up to your tenancy agreement requirements is critical to get your deposit 100% back.
Basically, when you move out your housing has to be as clean as when you moved in. Limescale round taps, switches and sockets along with mould on grout, fingerprints on windows and glass doors, are not considered ‘fair wear and tear’. This means you are bound to take care of everything.
The move in inventory should tell you whether the property was cleaned to a condition which was ‘good domestic‘, ‘domestic’ or ‘professional‘ prior to you moving in, and your tenancy agreement should say whether you must have it cleaned to a domestic or professional standard.
Bear in mind how long it takes to do the job right, not to mention all the gear you’ll need. Removing limescale, grease, mould, and dirt might take a single person tens of hours to complete and proper carpet cleaning requires vacuuming and professional hot water extraction cleaning. Everything has to be finished before your landlord and inventory clerk carry a final move-out inspection.
Don’t attempt to do end of tenancy cleaning before you move belongings out. It would be far easier, regardless of who does the cleaning. And finally, since there’s so much to clean, make sure you have a system. Consider following an end of tenancy cleaning checklist to ensure you won’t miss anything.
