By Moving out of a rented property can be one of the most stressful experiences. Between finding a new home and packing your life into boxes, there is a big task waiting for you: the final clean. In the UK, End of Tenancy Cleaning is a requirement in almost every rental contract. If the property is not spotless, your landlord or letting agent may refuse to return your security deposit.
At Ecorid, we understand how important that deposit money is for you. That is why we offer a specialized house cleaning service designed to satisfy the strictest landlords.
In this guide, we will share Ecorid’s professional tips on how to handle a move-out clean and why hiring experts is the smartest move you can make.
What Exactly is End of Tenancy Cleaning?
It is much more than a “Saturday morning tidy-up.” It is a deep, top-to-bottom cleaning of the entire property. The goal is to return the house or flat to the exact same condition it was in when you first moved in (minus “fair wear and tear”).
Landlords use a professional “Inventory Report” to check every detail. If they find grease in the oven, dust on the light fittings, or limescale on the taps, they will hire a cleaning company and deduct the cost from your deposit. Often, their choice is much more expensive than hiring Ecorid yourself.
The Ecorid Professional Cleaning Checklist
To ensure you get your money back, our Ecorid cleaning team follows a rigorous checklist. Here are the key areas we focus on:
1. The Kitchen (The Most Important Room)
The kitchen is where most deposit disputes happen.
- Oven Cleaning: We deep clean the oven, racks, and grill pan until they shine.
- Appliances: We clean inside and behind the fridge, freezer, dishwasher, and washing machine.
- Cupboards: Every shelf and drawer is wiped down to remove crumbs and stains.
- Degreasing: We remove sticky grease from the extractor fan and wall tiles.
2. Bathrooms and Toilets
Limescale is the enemy here.
- De-scaling: We remove limescale from taps, showerheads, and tiles.
- Sanitization: We disinfect the toilet, bath, and sink.
- Glass & Mirrors: We polish shower screens and mirrors until they are streak-free.
3. All Living Areas and Bedrooms
- Windows: We clean the glass and frames from the inside.
- Skirting Boards & Doors: We wipe away dust and scuff marks from all woodwork.
- Dusting: We clean light switches, sockets, and even the tops of the doors.
- Floors: We professionally vacuum all carpets and mop all hard floors.
