What is a Move-Out Cleaning?
As a tenant or homeowner, one crucial aspect of moving out is ensuring the property is left in a clean and tidy state, ready for the new occupant. The goal of a move-out cleaning is to prepare the home to be rented or sold.
If you are moving into a new home and it has not been properly deep cleaned, a move-in cleaning can also be performed in the same way to ensure that you are greeted to a fresh and clean environment.
Move-out cleaning is essential for tenants to get their deposit back, and often required as specified in the lease agreement.
At Savvy Cleaning Company we have a standard in depth checklist that we use for our move out cleaning process.
However here is an overview of what the checklist includes.
-
Remove cobwebs and dust all lateral surfaces, including windowsills, baseboards, and ceiling fans.
-
Clean & Sanitize all kitchen exterior surfaces.
-
Clean all appliances, including the refrigerator, stove/oven, and dishwasher interiors.
-
Wipe down cabinets and drawers inside and out.
-
Clean & Sanitize bathroom fixtures, including the toilet, sink, and shower/tub.
