End of tenancy cleaning checklist (room-by-room)

Use this practical checklist when briefing a cleaner or checking a completed job. It focuses on the items most likely to affect deposit assessments. Each list below highlights the action points an inspector or deposit scheme will notice first.

General areas

Remove all rubbish and personal items left behind.
Dust and wipe skirting boards, picture rails and window sills.
Clean light fittings, switches and sockets; replace blown bulbs if requested.
Vacuum carpets and rugs thoroughly; mop hard floors with appropriate cleaner.
Wipe doors, door frames and internal glass (where present).
Clean window tracks and frames where accessible; polish glass internally.

For a reliable outcome, make sure access to lofts or storage cupboards is included in the brief. If carpets need specialist treatment, add carpet cleaning to your booking to ensure stains and odours are addressed before the inspection.

Kitchen

Degrease and clean cooker hob, control knobs and splashbacks.
Deep clean the oven and grill (internal surfaces, trays, rails).
Clean microwave inside and out; wipe down kettles and other fixed appliances.
Empty, defrost and wipe fridge/freezer interiors if requested.
Wipe cupboard doors and handles; clean inside where food residue is present.
Sanitise worktops, sink, taps and plumbing surrounds.
Remove limescale and polish chrome where needed.

Kitchens are decisive at inspections. Specify oven and fridge deep-cleaning when you book to avoid last-minute deductions from a deposit. We can tackle grease penetration and hidden grime around extractor fans and splashbacks efficiently.

Bathrooms and WC

Descale and sanitise baths, showers, tiles and grout lines.
Clean shower screens, remove soap residue and watermarks.
Sanitise toilets, basins and chrome fittings.
Polish mirrors and glass; wipe cabinet interiors and exteriors.
Remove mould or mildew from seals and silicone joints where possible.

Bathrooms are a hygiene priority. Removing lime deposits, mould and soap scum will improve the look and reduce the chance of objections at check-out. Ask about eco-friendly treatments if you prefer low-irritant products for incoming tenants.

Bedrooms and living rooms

Vacuum mats, under beds and along skirting boards.
Wipe wardrobes and drawers inside and out on request.
Remove cobwebs from corners and ceilings; dust vents and radiators.
Treat marks on painted walls where practical (not redecoration).

Clear, dust-free living spaces create a positive first impression for new tenants. We always check behind furniture where possible and note any stains or damage that are maintenance issues rather than cleaning tasks.

Other areas

Hallways and stairs: vacuum/tidy, wipe handrails and bannisters.
External areas where part of the tenancy: sweep patios, tidy communal entrances.
Final vacuum and mop throughout; deodorise where necessary.

Don’t forget communal areas and outdoor spaces if they form part of the tenancy. A swept entrance and clean communal corridor can be the difference between a smooth handover and a complaint from the incoming tenant.

How our cleaning process works

We follow a clear, repeatable workflow so landlords can book with confidence and receive consistent outcomes every time. Our process is designed to reduce the risk of disputes and keep vacancy time to a minimum.

1. Pre-clean inspection and scope

We confirm access times, property size and any problem areas before arrival.
Clients specify required extras (oven deep clean, carpet cleaning, fridge defrost).
A written scope and estimated time are agreed to avoid surprises.

Before the team arrives we ask for clear access details, parking notes and any keys or code arrangements. This helps us arrive on time and begin work straight away. If you have an inventory or inspection checklist, share it when you request a quote.

2. On-the-day execution

Experienced two- or three-person teams follow a room-by-room plan to maximise efficiency.
We use professional-grade equipment and suitable cleaning products; greener alternatives available on request.
Tasks are completed in a logical order to avoid rework (dry dusting first, wet cleaning last).

Our teams arrive with a clear plan and the right equipment for the job. We work efficiently to meet tight turnaround windows without cutting corners. If additional work is found during cleaning, we contact you before proceeding.

3. Quality check and documented sign-off

Senior crew member carries out a final inspection against our checklist.
We provide a simple sign-off record and can supply photos of key areas on request to support deposit discussions.
If any issues remain, we will return to rectify them within the agreed timeframe where feasible.

Every clean ends with a verification step so you can trust the property is ready for inspection. For higher-value tenancies we provide dated photos of kitchen appliances, bathrooms and any areas of previous concern to help with deposit negotiations.
