When we move into a new leased/rented apartment, we expect it to be spotless and fresh. If the house was previously occupied by other tenants, how does the house become so clean before you move in? It’s possible because of the end of tenancy cleaning.
In Auckland (and almost all cities), if you wish to vacate your rented home, the end of tenancy cleaning is something that you will have to complete before you hand over the keys to your landlord.
If we expect a house to be spick and span before we move in, then we must take care to give back the house in the same spick and span condition.
Also, it is vital that the landlord is satisfied with the cleanliness of the house for you to get your full deposit money back.
Is it possible for us to do the cleaning by ourselves?
An end of tenancy cleaning involves doing deep cleaning work in every part of the house. It takes time, attention to detail, the right equipment, and a load of patience.
Especially in the rush and chaos of moving houses, it is better not to take up this task yourself.
Professional services for end of tenancy cleaning are always at your disposal; they are merely a Google search away. Family and friend recommendations work well, too!
However, make sure that the services you hire are registered and experienced. Check online reviews and speak to them over a phone call to find out all the details.
Make a choice only after you have considered at least 3-4 trusted service providers.
How can I ensure that the house is cleaned as per standards?
Most landlords, as well as professional cleaners, have a checklist that lists all essential cleaning processes. You can take a look at your landlord’s checklist and cross-check with the services you’re hiring, to confirm whether all necessary processes are being taken care of.
Almost all professional services have years of experience, so they know how an end of tenancy cleaning is performed thoroughly.
The cleaning process usually includes all the basic things like dusting, mopping, etc., and also deep cleaning processes of the entire house. The company should provide you with details which will give you a clear picture.
What is the cost of an end of tenancy cleaning?
Costs vary from company to company and also depend on the size of the house to be cleaned. Once the company gets the required information about the house from you, they can give you a quote based on that. They may need to inspect the house once so they can give you information about cost, execution time, and other scheduling details.
Conclusion
We understand that moving houses can be a challenging process. Trusted professional services help ease your burden. You can take care of everything else, and not worry about the cleaning!
