Deep cleaning before moving in or out: what it covers and why it matters
A checklist of what to clean before taking over or handing back a home, and how it helps with your deposit and peace of mind.
AL SHAMSI Real Estate 2 days agoCleaning before moving in or after moving out is not ordinary cleaning. It is the difference between a comfortable start and a tiring one, and between getting your full deposit back or seeing a deduction.
Before moving in
- Disinfect the bathroom and kitchen completely, including inside cupboards and drawers.
- Clean the fridge, oven and washing machine inside.
- Wash windows and frames, and wash or replace curtains.
- Dust high places, the tops of wardrobes and the radiators.
- Deep-clean floors and carpets.
After moving out (handing the home back)
- Return the home as you received it, according to the signed inventory.
- Remove grease in the kitchen and limescale in the bathroom.
- Empty and clean every cupboard.
- Take dated photos after the cleaning.
