Who arranges an end of tenancy clean?
An end of tenancy clean is a thorough clean performed once a tenancy on a property has ended and the tenant has left. Either the tenant or the landlord may arrange an end of tenancy clean.
This type of clean is essential for rental accommodation and must be carried out before a new tenant moves into the property. Many deposit disputes between tenants and landlords at the end of their tenancy involve the cost of an end of tenancy clean.
An end of tenancy clean is beneficial if you are a tenant leaving a property, as it gives you peace of mind that you have left the premises as clean as you can. This should ensure your deposit is returned in full. Often, a tenancy agreement will require an end of tenancy clean.
It is also an essential service for landlords as it ensures their accommodation is in the cleanest possible condition for their next tenant.
End of tenancy cleans for commercial and residential properties should be performed by a cleaning specialist, such as EVS Cleaning. This will ensure that no corners are cut, and the best possible clean is carried out.
What does an end of tenancy clean entail?
The cleaning and disinfecting involved in an end of tenancy clean include:
- Deep cleaning of kitchen appliances including oven, fridge, microwave and taps.
- Cleaning of curtains and blinds.
- Thoroughly mopping, buffering, shampooing, and vacuuming all floor surfaces and carpets.
- Cleaning doors, skirting boards, tiles, ceilings.
- Cleaning furniture and fittings such as shelves, cupboards, chairs, desks, bookcases, and bed frames.
- Sanitising and cleaning bathroom areas.
- Cleaning windows – internal and external.
- Cleaning on request of specified areas or items that are unique to the property.
A professional cleaning company, such as EVS Cleaning, will tailor the clean to your property requirements. Specialist cleaning products and techniques will be used to ensure the absolute best results and the utmost hygiene.
The cost of an end of tenancy clean varies depending on the property's size and the cleaning required. As a tenant, be sure to thoroughly read your contract terms to know exactly what is expected when you leave your accommodation. You may be required to keep the receipt for the clean.
