END OF TENANCY CLEANING CHECKLIST

By October 12, 2017 No Comments

An END OF TENANCY CLEANING CHECKLIST can be invaluable when you are moving. MYHOME have a handy checklist which they recommend you use to avoid problems with the dreaded landlord inspection. Most landlords, checkout companies & estate agents require that the outgoing tenant adheres to a strict Wipe downing checklist when leaving a property.

Myhome cleaners in North London have produced a list based on 25 years’ of experience with tenancy cleaning, and it has been devised along with consultation from other stake holders. The checkout tenancy cleaning checklist is as follows:

BEDROOM CLEANING

  • Doors, frames & on top of doors
  • woodwork (doors, door frames, skirting boards)
  • internal windows, sills & ledges
  • cupboards & wardrobes – inside & outside & on top
  • cobwebs on ceilings, around lights etc
  • coving, picture rails, cornice / curtain rail
  • mirrors & pictures
  • sockets, light switches & fittings, light shades
  • radiators
  • Vacuum upholstery
  • Vacuum & mop hard floors

KITCHEN

  • kitchen cupboards & drawers both inside & out
  • inside & outside all appliances – Oven, fridge, MW, DW & WM
  • all crockery and other items
  • hob & grill
  • extractor fan & filters
  • wall tiles, wash down & polish
  • exterior of appliances such as kettle & toaster
  • kitchen countertops
  • polish sink & shine taps
  • internal windows sills & ledges
  • woodwork – doors, door frames, skirting boards
  • radiators
  • sockets, light switches & fittings, light shades
  • Vacuum & wash hard floors

 RECEPTION ROOM(S) CLEANING

  • Doors, frames & on top of doors

  • switches & fittings, shades, plugs, sockets

Generally speaking the out-going tenant is not required to clean the exterior area such as windows, gardens & garages so the END OF TENANCY CLEANING CHECKLIST does not include these items.

Of course when you are moving home there can be a lot of things to organize so instead of troubling yourself with the cleaning it may be best to call in the Myhome to get the house in order. If so give us a call on 0208 802 4040 or email on [email protected].
