A Quick Guide For Renters

For many people, end of lease cleaning can prove to be a very tiresome job. Each tenant has to clean up at the end of their lease as part of the lease agreement. It is necessary to do the tasks, but you do not have to do it yourself – you can hire a professional bond cleaning company to get the job done.

However, if you want to clean your property by yourself, here are some tips to make the job easy. 

First: Transfer the Furniture

You need transfer all your furniture to your new home before you clean the house. It is better to get rid of all the things that can hide dust and grime. You can also do your end of lease cleaning more quickly if there are no big items blocking your way. You can also get rid about one third of the mess around your home by transporting the appliances to your new home as you will be able to tidy up the big things such as sofa, beds and more.

Second: Prepare Boxes

While tidying up the space, you need to prepare boxes as there will be important things that you need to store and keep safe. Remember to let go of the unnecessary things by giving them away, selling them at a Garage Sale, or giving them to charity. You only need to move the things that are important to you. . Do not even think about storing useless things. When you remove the big items in your house, it will be easier for you to focus on the areas that need more attention and any special cleaning.

Third: Do the Major End of Lease Clean

This is it; you are now ready to do the end-of-lease cleaning of your leased property. Prepare the following items for an effective clean:

  1. Stiff bristles sweep the floor to help you clean all the loose dirt that makes the floor look awful.
  2. Vacuum to clean the carpets. You will need a vacuum that can get rid of deeply embedded dust and grime. If you want to clean the carpet more correctly, hire an end-of-lease cleaning company to provide thorough steam or normal carpet cleaning.
  3. Focus on the bathrooms and kitchen. You will need to buy a disinfectant to make sure you get rid of germs and other pests.
  4. Prepare big mops. Mop the titles with a high-quality sanitise.
  5. Buy a big and absorbent cloth to remove dust.

If you think that end-of-lease cleaning is not your forte, you can hire professional cleaners. Your leased property will be cleaned within your time frame, so you don’t have to worry about moving on. Hiring an end-of-lease cleaning company is one easy way to move out from your old house and get your bond back. You may think that hiring professional cleaners are expensive so you just have to do the cleaning yourself. However, a cleaner may be less expensive than buying cleaning products, spending hours of time in cleaning, and then worrying if your effort has been enough.

Another easy way out of major cleaning at the end of your lease is to regularly clean your home. This way, you won’t have such a large job to finally clean your leased home. You also need to take good care of the furniture and fixtures that are trusted to you so that you don’t have to contact a repairman. You need to allocate a specified amount of time every day for your housekeeping chores or else you’ll see that standards of cleanliness at your home will begin to drop.

Practice the “clean as you go” attitude to prevent dirt from accumulating everywhere. It is an easy way to keep your house clean every day so that when you decide to end your lease, you will be able to move out effortlessly. If you want to be sure that you want your bond back then you might still need to hire an end-of-lease cleaning company to ensure that the home is absolutely spotless.

If you have the proper supplies of mops, brooms, and cleaning products then you will be able to clean your house easily. You also need to include protective gear such as an apron, gloves, and glasses in your regular cleaning list. Investing in high-quality cleaning products as well as products designed for specific cleaning jobs will make your end-of-lease cleaning easy when it is time to move to another home.

When you agreed to rent a house, you also agreed to give a monetary bond which will only be returned if the property is left in the same state as when you moved in. At the end of a lease, when moving out, many tenants fail to allocate enough time to performing an end-of-lease clean so they will get that bond back. Here are some tips on preparing your rental property for an end-of-lease clean and some factors to consider when hiring a professional end-of-lease cleaning service

Budget

When you want to ask help from professional cleaners, then you must consider the cost of their services. You do need to weigh the benefit of recovering your bond back against the cost of the service. Many tenants still consider hiring end of lease cleaning services as they take away the stress of cleaning and bring back their dignity as good tenants.

Enquire

Next thing to do is to enquire about the services that the end of lease cleaning service provides. Ensure that the service in the package covers the requirement of your landlord and sign up for the service package that fits your budget and time frame. You should be mindful of the condition that your property was in when you first moved in. That way, you can tell your chosen end of lease cleaners what they need to know. You might want to create a checklist, or you can ask the cleaning company to give you their checklist of what is included in the service package that you choose.

Prepare the Place

  • Empty the kitchen cupboards.
  • De-frost the fridge.
  • Make sure that the cleaners have access to hot water and electricity.
  • Make sure all rooms are ready for cleaning before the end of lease cleaning professionals arrive. If you make the cleaners wait as you are still packing your belongings this may add to the cost of the service.
