Areas That Need To Be Cleaned
Work surfaces
The end of tenancy cleaning personnel will get rid of the food residue and stains in the countertops and cupboards and drawers. Crumbs and food deposits in the shelves, filth in appliances and the cobwebs built behind the back of the machine units all need to be cleaned off. Some sections are particular grimy hotspots such as the fridge shelves and dishwasher filters.
Sink
A lot of meat and produce remnants collect in the sink. As you wash the dishes, plenty of gunk is left behind. The constant availability of moisture fuels the growth of microbes. You want to eliminate the limescale that has built up on the sink surface and taps. There is more faecal bacteria in your kitchen sink than in the toilet after you flush it. The tap handle alone as over an astounding 228,000 bacteria per square inch. The drain itself more than double that, with an over 560,000 bacteria count.
Walls
The goal of end of tenancy cleaning is to leave the walls spotless. This involves scrubbing down the surfaces and removing any splatters that may have formed over time.
Oven
It needs to be cleaned both internally and externally. You wouldn’t want to be forced to clean someone else’s oven when moving into your new home, and future tenants in the place you’re leaving shouldn’t be forced to do the same. Ovens tend to build up thick layers of dirt and grime, household dust, burnt food deposits and grease. This makes the cleaning job an arduous task. It needs time, effort and tough cleaning agents. Letting agents and landlords usually head straight to the oven when starting the inspection, because that where most tenants go astray.
Bin cleaning
You don’t want to leave behind dirty and slimy bins. They handle a lot of gunk on a daily basis, and will need to be clean and hygienic before the move.
Refrigerator
You don’t want to carry a grimy fridge to your new property. Call the end of tenancy cleaners to get rid of all the food deposits and odours emanating from the refrigerator, and leave both its inside and outside spotless.
Shower
All those hot baths you’ve been enjoying led to a build-up of dirt in the shower area and walls, and accumulation of scum, hair and other particles in the drain.
Toilet
It’s been used a lot, and you’ll want to leave it spotless. The end of tenancy cleaning process removes everything from the grease stains and body fat residue, to the urine scale that has formed in the toilet. Even the toilet brushes need cleaning, because they are usually left standing in a container holding bacteria-laden water. The cistern, bowl exterior, and the toilet seat all require special attention. Modern flushes have been designed to effectively and safely eliminate waste, but water conditions in some areas cause limescale to build up. This causes unsightly discolourations in the toilet bowls. Each time the toilet is used and flushed, the mineral deposits continue building up. The end of tenancy cleaning team comes with powerful toilet cleaners and descalers, which return the washroom to its original beauty and shine. They also have odour neutralisers that counter the awful smells emanating from the toilet. Even the flush handle is dirty, especially since people use it immediately they’re done with their business, and before washing their hands.
Sink
The bathroom faucet handle clocks over 6200 bacteria per square inch, while the insides of the sink, near the drain, harbours over 2700 bacteria in every square inch of surface. It’s one of the dirtiest sections in the home, and will require thorough cleaning.
Living room
It’s the heart of the home, where everyone gathers to make merry. You relax here every day after work, host guests during your day-offs, hold dinner parties and birthday celebrations, spend quality time with your family in it, and catch up on the prime time news. Those late night snacks you were having as you were binge watching your favourite TV show or snuggling close to your significant other, left behind crumbs of food in the furnishings and upholstery. As your kids hopped on the cushions on the sofa and played around in the carpet, they left dirt within the fibres. In case you have a pet, then there’ll be fur and dander strewn all over. The end of tenancy cleaning services will take care of everything, from the stains on the floors, the grime on your sofas, to the soiling on the curtains. Coffee tables, cabinets, bookshelves, and even the TV set all need to be leaned. Living rooms usually have extensive decoration sets, which require delicate handling. We’ll do it all.
Windows
They are in every room of the house. They are the barrier that shields you from the elements. Over time, they build up dirt that causes them to be dull. Dust and particles like cigarette smoke and vehicle exhaust get adhered to the glass surface. They are trapped by the microscopic valleys and ridges on the glass. Insect gunk and bird droppings make the window appear unsightly. The metal that’s around the window’s exterior can deteriorate and get oxidised, which damages the windows, giving them a white, hazy look. In case there is a sprinkler system nearby, and it uses hard water, there could be mineral deposits deposited on the glass surface. As it rains, water passes over screens and gets onto the glass, leaving behind whatever gunk it has picked up on its way. As the water dries, it leaves the window looking all unsightly. And that put’s your security deposit at risk. As a tenant, you don’t want to leave messed up windows that people can barely see through. Someone new will be looking to move in, and will want to enjoy the view outside the property. For landlords, it also increases the value of the property. Potential tenants will take the clean windows to be a sign that the property has been well taken care of. End of tenancy cleaning on the windows enables the light to be let in, brightening up the interior space. This enables you to enhance the ambience of the premises, and get more out of your investment.
Bedrooms
You mainly use the bedroom at night, meaning that during the day dust and other contaminants in the air settle snuggly onto the surfaces. At night, as you tuck tight, you shed skin flakes attract dust mites. When you open the curtains in the morning to let the light in, around 80% of the particles you see floating around in the sun beams are skin flakes. Then there are the bed mites that need removal, and general soiling tracked into the bedroom.
