Here at Cleaning North West we know how exciting it is to land your new house, or your new office premises. Moving on to something new is always an exhilarating time, but if you’re leaving behind a rented property, you still have some cleaning to do. In fact, if you want your deposit back, you need to do some serious deep cleaning. As a result, we have produced this guide to how to get your deposit back with end of tenancy cleaning.
Move out first, then clean up
It is mush easier to fully clean your old property once all the furniture and clutter has been removed. And simply by removing your belongings, you’ll find all the hidden areas that need more cleaning attention. As a result, you can leave your property just as you found it. Clean and ready to go for the next tenant.
Start from the top of the room
There isn’t much point in starting your deep clean with the carpet, because first of all you need to de-cobweb all the walls, and the ceiling, and dust all of the door frames. If you’ve already cleaned the carpet, you will just make it dirty again! So start with the ladders and move around the top of the room before you look anywhere else.
Hidden Woodwork
While you might use the stairs multiple times a day, how much attention do you pay to the spindles or the skirting boards? Dirt and dust gathers on low lying woodwork and can turn your cream or white paintwork a dirty grey. Use a cloth to remove all of the dirt, and then touch up your paintwork if necessary. It will definitely brighten up your corridors, stairs and rooms.
Don’t forget the windows
Make sure that the windows are clean, clear and welcoming before you move out. This will give a great impression of the property from the outside, before your landlord even inspects the rest of the house. As a result, clean windows can definitely help you get your deposit back.
Ordinary cleaning tasks
On top of all these extras are your usual cleaning tasks. The kitchen and the bathroom need to be mold and stain free, and your carpets will need a deep clean.
