How do you clean a bathroom at the end of lease?

by Pamtec Enviro Systems Road Sweeping Machines

If you're moving out of a rental property, the last thing you want to worry about is cleaning the bathroom. Who wants to scrub tubs, toilets and showers for hours on end when they could be unpacking boxes? But if you don't clean your rental unit's bathroom properly before moving out, your landlord may refuse to return your deposit or charge you for repairs. So how can you make sure that doesn't happen? Here are some tips:

Cleaning showers, tubs and toilets

Cleaning showers, tubs and toilets is the most difficult part of cleaning a bathroom at the end of lease cleaning. This section will help you clean these hard-to-reach areas.

Shower head: Every tenant has their own unique way of showering, so it's important to be careful while cleaning this item. There are many ways to clean a shower head: using liquid soap or vinegar, scrubbing with steel wool, boiling water in a pot on your stovetop and then pouring that hot water into the shower head (be careful not to touch the inside with your bare hands when doing this).

To properly clean out the drain in your tub or sink: use baking soda or baking powder and vinegar (or salt if you don't have any vinegar) in equal parts; mix them together until they form a paste; apply that paste onto your drain; let sit for 30 minutes before rinsing off with warm water.

Scrubbing shower doors, grout and tiles

The inside of your shower can be pretty dirty. If you don't clean it regularly, mold will grow in the grout and mildew on the tiles.

To clean your shower door: Use a toothbrush or sponge to get into all the nooks and crannies where soap scum has been hiding. Don't forget about cleaning off any water spots that might have formed on your shower door too!

To clean the tiles: Use a toothbrush to scrub away dirt from between each tile, then wipe them down with a cloth soaked in warm water and soap. Don't forget to dry them after you're done cleaning so they don't get moldy again!

Use a grout brush for extra thoroughness, but make sure not go overboard because otherwise this could just make matters worse (think about how much stuff gets stuck).

Cleaning sinks, mirrors and faucets

If your bathroom sink is a porcelain or plastic surface, you should use a sponge to clean the surface. If your sink is made of stainless steel, you can use a soft cloth to clean it.

Next, use a damp cloth or paper towel to wipe down the mirrors and faucets in the bathroom. You can use glass cleaner on the mirrors if they need extra scrubbing power (and if they're non-stick).

Removing scum from shower floors

To remove scum from the shower floor, use a bleach and water solution. Pour the solution into a spray bottle, then spray it on the shower floor. Let the solution sit for 5 minutes before scrubbing with an old sponge or scrub brush. Rinse clean and dry with a towel.

General bathroom cleaning tips

Clean the toilet bowl. You should clean your entire toilet, not just the bowl. You'll want to make sure everything is clean and shiny, but you also need to ensure that no grime or mold has started growing on any of your fixtures. If you find any signs of this, it's time to take action.
Don't forget about the sink! The bathroom sink is usually one of those items we think we can brush off as being simple enough—but what if there are stains in hard-to-reach places? Our guide will show you how to get rid of all those stains and more by making sure that every inch of your sink shines brightly again when it's time for someone else (or yourself!) to move into this space!
Don't forget about shower floors! You might also think that cleaning a floor isn't all that important when cleaning bathrooms because most people don't spend too much time standing around in them; however, there are still some important things worth knowing about keeping them clean: try using vinegar or baking soda on tough spots so they won’t come back later!
Don't forget shower doors either! It may seem like they're just another part of your stall but they actually wear out over time too easy causing leaks which lead water damage which leads more money spent down pipes than expected—so before starting make sure these aren’t loose because if not fixed now could cause major problems later down road."

If you do it right, you'll get your deposit back.

If you want to get your security deposit back at the end of lease cleaning you'll need to clean your bathroom thoroughly. That means removing all traces of soap scum, toothpaste, hair and other messes left behind by previous tenants. It also means removing stains from the toilet and sink; cleaning your shower and tub (including inside the drain); cleaning mirrors, windows and walls; vacuuming or sweeping floors; scrubbing toilet seats and ceramic lids (if they're removable).

Here's a checklist of what else needs cleaning:

Conclusion

So in the end, it all comes down to picking up the slack. If you want to get your deposit back and keep your landlord happy, make sure you give them a clean bathroom at the end of lease cleaning.
