Schedule move-out cleaning after belongings have been removed and before the final walkthrough. An empty property gives the team access to floors, shelves, cabinets, and the agreed appliance interiors.
No. Deposit decisions also depend on the lease, property condition, damage, and the landlord’s assessment. A cleaning service can address the agreed cleaning tasks, but it cannot guarantee a financial outcome.
Before the cleaning appointment
- Check the cleaning requirements provided by your property manager.
- Remove personal belongings and trash you are responsible for.
- Keep utilities available and arrange access.
- Confirm the appointment fits between the movers and the walkthrough.
- Tell the team about damage, heavy buildup, or requested extras.
What should the cleaning scope cover?
Discuss bathrooms, kitchen surfaces, floors, and accessible empty cabinets. Confirm refrigerator and oven interiors against the quoted checklist. If windows or another separate service are needed, request them explicitly.
What about repairs and damage?
Cleaning is different from repairing holes, replacing damaged materials, removing belongings, or treating specialized contamination. Handle those requirements separately and explain relevant concerns before a quote is finalized.
How can I avoid a rushed handover?
Leave time after cleaning for your own review and any agreed follow-up. Photograph the property’s condition for your records and complete the handover according to your property’s process. Ask Mrs. Clean about availability before committing to a cleaning date.
