I know you must be wondering “how can I know that I’m hiring the right company?” How professional are their services? I totally understand your curiosity. I’ve been there, especially when I took my time to decide on ditching DIY cleaning for a professional move out clean.

In this article I’ll walk you through what you should expect from a professional move out clean.

Thorough Cleaning of All Rooms

A professional clean ensures that every corner of the house is cleaned in great detail and the place is left spotless.

1. Kitchen:

In many cases, the kitchen needs to be cleaned the most. Professionals will:

• Wipe down the exterior and the interior of the oven, fridge, and microwave.
• Make sure to clean the top of the counters, the cabinet doors, and the backsplashes.
• Disinfect the sinks as well as the taps.
• Make sure to clean every part of your floors.

2. Bathrooms:

Staff pay extra attention to cleaning bathrooms to make them hygienic.

• Wash and disinfect the toilets, sinks, bathtubs, and showers.
• Clean off the limescale on the fixtures.
• Make sure to clean your mirrors as well as any glass spaces.
• Wipe your floors with a mop and make sure to sanitise the tiles.

3. Bedrooms and Living Areas:

They need to be clean so that they feel inviting to visitors.

• Use a damp cloth to wipe and clean all the surfaces and even the skirting boards and light fixtures.
• Make sure to vacuum your carpets and wash your hard floors.
• Wash, clean, and vacuum the windows and their sills as well as the tracks.
• Empty the wardrobes and drawers and then clean the surfaces.

4. Hallways and Stairs

Sometimes, these areas are ignored, but they get the same consideration.

• Use a duster to take care of dust on the banisters and handrails.
• Either vacuum or mop the floors.
• Clean both the lights and the switches in your house.

Professional cleaning teams use a system so that everything is cleaned effectively. Since they are experts, the cleanliness meets or goes beyond what the landlord expects.

Attention to Detail in Key Areas

Besides basic cleaning, professionals take care of areas that people usually overlook but are key in inspection.

1. Appliances:

The team gives special attention to cleaning every appliance.

• Degreasing and polishing are done to the ovens.
• Defrosting and cleaning happen to all the fridges and freezers.
• All parts of the dishwasher and washing machine are cleaned on the inside and the outside.

2. Fixtures and Fittings:

Things that are considered include:

• There should be light switches and plug sockets in the room.
• Door handles and frames are part of the design too.
• There are curtains and blinds to choose from.
• Skirting boards and cornices are things to consider.

3. Carpets and upholstery cleaning

For some services, carpets are steam cleaned in order to remove stains and odours. Whenever it is needed, upholstered furniture is vacuumed and spot-cleaned.

4. Furniture for Windows and Glass Surfaces

All the glass on windows is cleaned so they are without streaks. Glass products such as mirrors are polished to make them shine.

5. Hard-to-Reach Areas:

Areas behind radiators, under furniture, and in high places are cleaned out to get rid of dust and cobwebs.

In my opinion, the details are what separate these places. Before, I tried to clean the place myself during our move. Even though I cleaned thoroughly, my landlord spotted dust on the kitchen cabinets, which I had not seen before. Following that, I have gained respect for how thoroughly professionals handle their work.

Leaving Your Property Spotless

The main aim of a professional move-out clean is to make sure the property is spotless so that handover can be done smoothly.

1. Final Touches:

Professionals usually take the following steps after cleaning the air ducts:

• If any of your light bulbs are burnt out, change them with new ones.
• Make sure all the rubbish is cleaned up.
• Make sure all places are ventilated and dry to avoid the growth of mould.

2. Quality Assurance:

A lot of companies allow you to inform them about missed spots within a certain time, and they will return to take care of them.

3. Documentation:

Sometimes, these services list all the cleaning tasks they performed and provide proof to landlords or letting agents.

4. A Sense of Relief

Being aware that the cleaning is done professionally lets you concentrate on making yourself at home. It makes it unlikely that you’ll have arguments over cleanliness or lose some of your deposit.

Hiring professionals to help with my last move turned out to be a very important choice. Since the place was so clean and the landlord noticed, I earned a full refund of what I had paid in deposit. It was worth the expense to use professional cleaners, since it was helpful in both our budget and in how we felt.

Conclusion

Working with a cleaning service guarantees your place will be clean and meet or exceed the landlord’s requirements. From cleaning all surfaces to taking care of every small detail, professionals carry out their work quickly and properly.

With full coverage, not only is the return of the deposit more likely, but also your stress is reduced throughout the process. Since the experts will handle your cleaning, you can concentrate on the rest of your relocation.

At the end of the day, a professional clean goes beyond service and is actually an investment in a stress-free move to your next home.
