Cleaning at the end of a lease can be quite a chore. In fact, calling it a chore is a little bit of an understatement. It requires that you have a solid plan because you want to be sure that you clean according to expectations and guidelines, ensuring you get your deposit back. You can always count on end of tenancy cleaning services, or you can take the job on yourself. But a job it is, not just a chore, and there are some things you need to know.
You are going to want to have all the cleaning supplies you need grouped together and the ones you are currently using in a portable holder. You want to be able to move around quickly and get things done. Do you need to first fumigate the property? That can sometimes be required in apartments that have been home to pets as well. Are you going to hire a removalist?
Even if you don't hire a Gold Coast end of lease cleaning service, you might think about hiring a removalist company. If you do, you are also going to need to remove any belongings from the property that a removalist isn't going to want to touch, if there are any such belongings. Now let's get back to the aspects of cleaning at the end of your tenancy at an apartment.
It is always a good idea to start with dry cleaning tasks. When all is said and done, you also don't want to forget the exterior of the property if it also needs attention. All properties are a little different, so you will want to think about what needs to be done to yours according to an end of lease cleaning checklist. Do you have one of those checklists to refer to as you start this cleaning job?
You are going to do all of your normal cleaning, but it's easy to forget about the differences in regards to end of lease cleaning. Think about it in terms of spring cleaning. Are there any cobwebs that need to be removed? You want to clean those corners where the walls meet the ceilings, and you are going to want to consider the fact that those windows might need to be cleaned, too. End of lease cleaning can be a pain, just in general, even if you know what to do. The reason for this is because you also have to move and handle everything else that is going on at the moment.
That is why even with a checklist, you might want to consider either outsourcing the cleaning or the moving part. Removalists are standing by, and so are cleaning companies. I actually enjoy cleaning, but a cleaning job like that on top of moving is definitely a lot of work. Do you really want to take it all on by yourself? If so, just make sure you have that end of lease cleaning checklist that will make things so much easier on you in the long run.
