End of Tenancy Checklist

What's included in our End of Tenancy Cleaning service?

The kitchen is cleaned thoroughly as follows

The end of tenancy cleaning service assumes the property has one of each type of appliance. This means one oven, one fridge, one washing machine… You get the point. We clean all appliances.

If there is more than one of these appliances, please let us know in your booking request. No matter how clean your kitchen seems, we need to clean it according to the standards and requirements of your landlord and real estate agency so you can get your deposit back. This means absolutely everything needs to be cleaned without exception.

Here’s what a detailed kitchen cleaning looks like:

• We clean all cabinets and drawers. Our cleaners use detergents in accordance with the surfaces. All cabinets and drawers get cleaned inside and out;
• We clean the kitchen cabinets, including their highest part. If there is some space between the cabinets and the ceiling, we clean that, too. Landlords love to check that space for dust or dirt since people often forget to clean it;
