Hiring professional cleaners for your ‘End of Tenancy’ deep clean

When you first move into a rented property, it should be spotless and fresh. All tenants have the right to expect a clean and hygienic property to move into. However, the responsibility is then passed onto the tenant once they have taken up residency.

When the time comes to move out, the landlord will expect the property back in the same condition as when you moved in.

Most people don’t have experience with or knowledge of deep cleans, which is why many tenants choose to leave this important job to the professionals. Moving is stressful enough without trying to find the time to deep clean a whole property.

More than half of the disputes that occur involving The Deposit Protection Scheme are the result of issues with cleaning. It is the biggest problem regarding the return of deposits, followed by damage and redecoration. If you want to avoid a dispute, it’s in your best interests to see the cleaning completed to a high standard.

Tenants deposit a lot of money in order to secure a property, so it needs to be looked after and maintained throughout the letting period. An inventory will have been completed before you moved in and another when you depart will provide a record of the condition of the property.

Before commencing the end of tenancy clean, it can be helpful to contact the letting agent and request a copy of their final checklist for inspection.

That way you can ensure that everything listed has been dealt with and ample cleaning has been carried out. Matching up the quality to what is contained within the final inspection checklist is the best way to ensure receiving your full deposit back.

Aside from the importance of getting the cleaning done correctly, here are some other reasons why tenants choose to hire a professional cleaner:

• If they are allergic to strong cleaning products such as bleach
• If they are allergic to dust mites
• They cannot find the time or have the energy to complete a deep clean due to family or work commitments
• They don’t believe they can clean to a high enough standard
• They don’t have access to professional equipment or know how to operate them
• The property is large with many rooms that they can’t cope with
• It is imperative that the full deposit is returned
• The tenant needs a fast, reliable and insured cleaning solution
• Some areas of the property are hard to reach
• Oven cleaning requires special materials
• They don’t have access to important equipment such as steam cleaners

When you vacate the property, it must be free of:

• Rubbish
• Animal dander and hair
• Dust, marks, stains and dirt
• Finger marks on walls, smudges, grease and spills
• Limescale in the kitchen and bathroom and rust stains
• Leftover food, garden waste or debris
