Your Cleaner Home, Milton Keynes’s trusted local house cleaning company, has created this comprehensive end of tenancy cleaning checklist to help landlords achieve spotless results every time.
The Importance of a Detailed End of Tenancy Clean
An end of tenancy clean is essential for securing the full deposit and presenting your property at its best for prospective tenants. It also helps preserve the property’s condition and reduces the risk of disputes over cleanliness. A professional clean guarantees that every nook and cranny is covered to meet the high standards expected by both tenants and landlords.
Preparation Before the Clean
1. Gather Cleaning Supplies and Equipment
Ensure you have all necessary cleaning products, tools, and equipment ready beforehand. This includes disinfectants, specialised kitchen and bathroom cleaners, microfibre cloths, mops, vacuum cleaners, and dusters. Using professional-grade products can save time and improve results.
2. Remove Personal Items
Clear all personal belongings from the property, including furniture, decorations, and rubbish. This step makes the cleaning process easier and provides a clear view of the property’s condition.
