You are nearing the end of your relationship.

That is, your relationship with your landlord and current property.

Getting your old place back into shape (and ready for a new occupant) requires an end of lease clean, since you are eager to move into a new apartment.

Damages vs. Wear and Tear

A rental apartment comes with its own set of pros and cons. The property usually has some signs of wear and tear from previous tenants when you move in (or out). Unfortunately, you cannot change these things.

If you plan to move out in the near future, you should know when the landlord is being fair to you. They may charge you for damages you didn't cause.

Over time, some parts of any home will deteriorate. It is common to step on floorboards on a daily basis, which makes them look dull. Among other signs of wear:

● Cracked, peeling, fading paint

● Fading wallpaper

● Fading carpet

Loose grout between tiles

● Bathroom fixtures with worn enamel such as toilets and sinks

Water pipes that are aging can cause mild clogs in sinks

● Floorboards that need a fresh coat of varnish

An intentional act of altering or depreciating the property's value is already considered "damage." The landlord would need to seek additional fees from the tenant. If you just moved in and you notice the wallpaper is fading, without getting permission from the landlord, this could cause more damage than good. If you rent a space, avoid doing the following:

● Changing the wallpaper without asking permission

Stains and burns on carpets

● Cracked or chipped sinks and bathtubs

● Breaken windows

& door hinges

Clogged sinks and toilets caused by improper hygiene and usage

You can avoid additional costs by simply being aware when you move.

Why You Need an End of Lease Cleaning

You are required to spruce up the property you are living in before handing over the keys to your landlord if you need to move out of it and you are leased to it.

In order to be ready for occupancy by the next tenant, the property must seem as if it has never been lived in before. The landlord will also give you your security bond once he or she is satisfied with how the property was cleaned.

What If I Don’t Do It?

Most likely, your landlord will deduct a certain amount from your security bond. It is also an excellent opportunity to check your lease agreement or contract with your landlord. You will need to hire a professional cleaner if you need a deep clean or end of lease cleaning before you move out.

Can I Do It Myself?

It is strongly discouraged, as you may not be able to meet the standards of the landlord. Additionally, there are certain cleaning tasks that only professionals can perform (anyone up for scrubbing off grime?)

Additionally, some landlords and real estate agents may ask for a receipt from a professional cleaning company as proof that you have left the property in a clean state. By restoring it to their standards, your security bond will be returned.

Getting professional cleaners is also worth every penny for the following reasons:

  • You will also be moving to a new place, so don't worry about it. You have more time to consider other important details about this life change.

  • You might spend more if you do it yourself. It will be a waste of time and money to purchase cleaning materials and tools that professionals already have at their disposal.

  • Professional cleaners provide the convenience of not worrying about such a trivial aspect of your moving experience.

When Do I Get an End of Lease Cleaning?

It is best to check when the deadline is on your contract so you can easily arrange for cleaners. In the event that you must suddenly vacate the property, you will want to have the property in order so your landlord can check it out.

When do End of Lease Cleans Typically Take Place?

End of leases can take a long time depending on how big and dirty the property is.

Two to three cleaning staff members usually perform different cleaning tasks simultaneously during an end of lease cleaning.

How Does an End of Lease Clean Work?

It is important that cleaners are extra attentive when performing this type of cleaning job. End of lease cleaning includes the following tasks:

  • Cleaning the walls

  • walls

  • walls, cleaning windows inside and out

  • Cabinets are clean, both inside and out

  • Vacuuming and mopping the floors are done

  • alongside cleaning window tracks

  • In the kitchen, laundry room, and bathrooms, cleaning is completed

  • We clean surfaces and remove any marks or stains (except those that are preexisting).

  • We also clean curtains and blinds.

  • The oven is also cleaned.

Cleaning tasks that you can request from a cleaner include:

  • Dishwasher cleaning

  • pool scrubbing

  • carpet steam cleaning

  • As well as the mattresses, couches, and other upholstery, have them cleaned.

What is the cost?

Cleaning an apartment at the end of a lease can cost anywhere from $150-$250.

The price will vary based on how large your property is, its condition, how many cleaners will be needed, and how long it will take them to complete the task.

You should mention the following details to a professional cleaning company so that an accurate quote can be provided:

  • Bedroom number

  • Number of bathrooms

  • Cleaning you have done (if any)

  • How big is your property in square metres

  • Where is your property located?

  • Would you like to have any additional cleaning done?

  • Do you need this cleaned urgently or not?

  • Would you prefer to have the cleaning done during the week or on the weekend?

These details will surely give you an idea of how much you need to spend on an end of lease cleaning.

Is End of Lease Cleaning Included?

Even a professional cleaner cannot get rid of everything.

Even with our best efforts, certain areas of the home simply cannot be cleaned.

In addition to cleaning mold from walls, you might need to call a professional to get rid of the cause of the mold. No matter how thoroughly you clean mold marks, they will keep coming back.

Discolouration-We use professional cleaning products and tools, but some of the items in the property have already been discoloured over time, and no amount of bleach can make them look like their originals.

In danger zones - When we feel that a particular part of the property may pose a great risk, we generally avoid it. The immediate area around a broken or open socket, for example, would not be cleaned. Cleaning companies generally do not include biohazardous waste management on their checklists either.

You may think it's admirable to clean up your place before you move out, but leave the job to the pros. Our knowledge and expertise in the field of cleaning have always led to satisfied clients.

We have professional cleaners available to help you move seamlessly from one home to another.
