Moving out of a rental property can be stressful. Apart from all the packing, shifting, and relocation, you have to think of end-of-lease cleaning, too. Have you thought of it before? If not, it is time you do if you want your bond money back!
If you missed end-of-lease cleaning in South Melbourne and are now finding ways to complete the task quickly and swiftly, you’re at the right place. We have provided you with a complete checklist to finish the cleaning task and get it done as soon as possible!
Cleaning the Rooms
Kitchen: Cover all the countertops, backsplashes, sinks, cabinets (inside and out), floors, and appliance interiors (ovens, microwaves, range hoods). Remember to wipe off any grease or dirt.
Bathroom: Clean the bathroom fixtures, including showers, exhaust fans, floors, sinks, vanities, mirrors, and toilets (including ones behind!). Clean hard water stains, mildew, and mould.
Bedroom: Bedroom features include built-in wardrobes with shelves, drawers, and mirrors; cobwebs, ceiling fans, light fixtures, blinds, and window tracks; and walls that have been wiped down to remove scuff marks should be cleaned. Give carpets a thorough hoover.
Living Areas: Clean the doors (cabinets, wardrobes), windows and tracks, blinds, skirting boards, light fixtures and switches, dust all surfaces, and vacuum or mop carpets and hard floors.
Walls: Review your lease for details. Some could just need spot cleaning, while others would need a thorough wipe-down for little blemishes. Range hoods and oven filters should be cleaned or replaced, as they are frequently overlooked.
Windows: Clear the tracks and sills, as well as the exterior and inside of the windows.
Light fixtures: Clean the lampshades and light fixtures of dust and debris.
Exhaustfans: Dust and grease buildup can be removed by cleaning the extractor fans in bathrooms and kitchens.
Carpets: Get your carpets professionally steam cleaned, particularly if you have pets.
By using this checklist and putting in the work, you can guarantee a spotless clean that pleases your landlord and ensures the recovery of your hard-earned bond. Remember that a little preparation and work will go a long way towards making your move successful! Hiring a professional end of lease cleaner can make your job ten times easier!
