What Cleaning Services Are Required Before Moving Out?

Moving out of a house requires a lot of packing, decluttering, and paperwork. Before handing over the keys, it is crucial to complete proper end-of-lease cleaning. This will help you to get a full bond refund.

Make a checklist of all the essential areas to clean. By doing this, you will not miss any deep cleaning tasks. For a detailed guide, check our bond cleaning checklist Brisbane tenants must follow to ensure nothing is missed.

Collect all the cleaning supplies like mop, vaccum cleaner, cleaning solutions, scrubber, microfibre cloths and garbage bags.

Do a sorting of items. Remove the one’s that you no longer need. This will help you clean faster. Start packing with decluttering.

Start dusting from top. Clean the ceiling fans, remove cobwebs, clean light fixtures. This helps the dust to settle downward.

Wipe down walls with a mild detergent and warm water, clean windows and fixtures and look for areas with stains. Scrub and wipe down the stains with cleaning solution.

Deep Clean kitchen and bathroom areas, as these areas collect the most dirt, grease stains and mineral build up. Clean all appliances, sinks, countertops, bathroom cabinets, floor tiles, toilet, shower and bathtub.

Kitchen attracts grease build-up and food stains that are the hardest to clean. Your landlord will do a thorough inspection of the kitchen during the exit cleaning and can do bond deductions if not cleaned properly.

At A One Bond Cleaning, our professional cleaning services deep clean the kitchen areas. Cleaning of oven, stovetops, range hoods, wiping of kitchen cabinets, cleaning of sinks, countertops is done as part of lease cleaning services.

Move-out cleaning requires cleaning the bathroom properly, as mould, soap residues and water stains often build up over time. Scrub the toilet, bathroom tiles, shower and bathtub. Also, wipe faucets and showerheads. Clean the mirror, cabinets and bathroom shelves.

Your landlord can ask for professional carpet cleaning as part of exit cleaning. As carpets collect dirt, pet stains, food and wine stains, professional cleaning services are required for cleaning the carpet.

Clean walls, windows and blinds in the living room and bedroom. Wipe down the furniture, shelves and cabinets to remove dust. Vacuum or sweep the floors.

As part of move-out cleaning, do not forget to clean the exterior of the home. Clean the windows, mop the porch and remove dust and debris. Take out trash if any, trim down overgrown plants.
