An end of tenancy clean is considerably more detailed than a normal weekly or domestic clean. The aim is to leave the property thoroughly cleaned and ready for its next occupant or inventory inspection.
A professional end of tenancy clean will typically cover the property from top to bottom. This includes kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, living areas, hallways and other accessible internal areas.
Kitchens
In the kitchen, attention should be given to appliances inside and out, including the oven, hob, extractor, refrigerator and accessible parts of the washing machine and dishwasher. Cupboards and drawers should be cleaned internally and externally, alongside worktops, sinks, splashbacks and fittings.
Bathrooms
Bathrooms require particular attention to limescale, soap residue, toilets, showers, baths, screens, tiles, mirrors and fittings.
The details that get missed
Throughout the property, cleaners should also pay attention to areas that can easily be overlooked, including:
- Skirting boards, architraves, doors and door frames
- Switches, sockets and light fittings
- Shelving and the tops of cupboards
- Accessible high level surfaces and cobwebs
The biggest difference between an everyday clean and an end of tenancy clean is the level of detail expected. An area may look clean at first glance but still fail an inventory inspection because of dust on the top of a door frame, grease inside an extractor or debris inside a cupboard.
Professional carpet cleaning may also be required depending on the tenancy agreement and condition of the carpets.
