All You Need to Know About End of Lease Cleaning

When the time for the end of your residential lease arrives, landlords and agents expect that you hand back the rented property in the same condition as they handed it to you when you moved in, sparing the small amount of wear and tear. In order to subtract a fee from the security deposit, some landlords inspect the property in detail and don’t even overlook a simple defect. Hence, to get your bond and the entire amount you paid as a security deposit back soon after moving out, vacate-cleaning should be given high priority. End of lease cleaning should be planned long before you move out because this task is arduous and time consuming. So, start looking for end of lease cleaners as soon as your move out date is finalized. 

An end of lease clean involves cleaning every corner of your rental accommodation thoroughly which includes vacuuming, mopping, dusting and wiping every area that comes under the rented property. In some cases, like removing mold, removing sticky tapes and other items from walls, removing cobwebs, etc. the professional cleaners charge extra fee. Cleaning the entire property on your own consumes a lot of time and energy. So, it is always better to give this task into the hands of professional cleaners who would happily serve you by charging a standard fee.

Here we provide you with the standard end of lease cleaning checklist that will ensure the work is done efficiently and nothing is left out.

Starting from the kitchen, verify whether the splash back, tiles, bench tops, sink, oven and stove top, exhaust fan are dusted first and then cleaned with a wet cloth. See to it that the cleaning package includes wiping up of kitchen cabinets and drawers from both sides.

After the kitchen, attend to the bathroom area. Examine if the cleaners have wiped, dusted and cleaned shower panels, taps, mirrors, bath tubs, door handles and shelves. If there is mold growth in your bathroom then get it cleaned too. Toilet must be cleaned from both sides and sanitized.  Get the walls around the toilet washed to get rid of stains and odor.

Bedrooms, guest room, dining room and lounge room should be cleaned one by one after the kitchen area is completed. Inspect the cleaning of wardrobes, mirrors, beds, mattresses, furniture, pillows, cushions, doors, walls, light and fan fittings. The common things that needs cleaning in all the rooms are vacuuming and mopping the floors, cleaning and washing the walls to remove stains, wiping the door handles, power points, switches, ceiling fans, light fittings, removing the cob webs, cleaning of window glasses and tracks from inside.
