Moving is a stressful process, and it’s not just the task of packing everything up that can be overwhelming. If you are renting and want to get your security deposit back, you’re going to have to clean your old residence from top to bottom. Thankfully, hiring a cleaning service for move-out cleaning will save you time and money. You may be wondering what move-out cleaning entails. Below is a detailed list of the tasks involved in the process. These key points should be everything necessary to secure that security deposit.
Deep-cleaning floors
Whether the flooring of your old place is carpeted, uncarpeted, or a mixture of both, you will need to ensure that it is completely clean before moving out. This involves weeping, vacuuming, wiping down baseboards, steam-cleaning (for carpet stains), and mopping. Floors get dirty quite easily, and we want to ensure that they look immaculate before you leave the place.
Appliance cleaning
Appliances— especially ovens, stovetops, dishwashers, and the like— can become dirty over time. You will want to get rid of any buildup that may still be on these appliances and put in the work to make them look brand new. A company providing move-out cleaning services will scrub away all the grime. This cleaning process will ensure that your appliances are landlord-approved levels of clean.
Bathroom/kitchen scrubbing
The bathrooms and kitchen are perhaps the most high-traffic areas of the whole place. This means that most likely, they are also the messiest! It’s important to ensure that all the messes left in these rooms are gone without a trace before you move out. All sinks, toilets, showers/tubs, and countertops should be scrubbed and disinfected. You should also ensure that all cabinets are spotless and empty (except for what belongs in the building) before leaving.
Minor wall repair
You may have left a few little holes in the wall from push pins or nails used to hang up decor. We understand, and most people can relate! However, it’s best to fix these holes before moving out to ensure you get your security deposit back. This can be done with a little spackle and some paint. Additionally, you can clean scuffs off the walls with an eraser sponge and some water/vinegar.
