Moving out of a rental property can be stressful, but getting your deposit back doesn't have to be. A thorough end of tenancy clean is often the difference between a full refund and costly deductions.
1. Start with the Kitchen
The kitchen is often the most scrutinised area during a checkout inspection. Focus on the oven, hob, and extractor fan — these are the areas most likely to fail. Don't forget the inside of cupboards, the fridge, and behind appliances.
2. Deep Clean the Bathroom
Limescale and mould are common issues in bathrooms. Use a descaler on taps, showerheads, and around the toilet. Clean grout between tiles and don't forget the exhaust fan and light fittings.
3. Don't Forget the Details
Skirting boards, door frames, light switches, and window sills often get overlooked. These small details can make a big difference to the overall impression of cleanliness.
4. Clean Windows Inside
Internal windows should be streak-free and clean. This is often specified in tenancy agreements and is an easy area to address.
