End of Tenancy Cleaning
Merton Service

An End of Tenancy cleaning requires a truly deep cleaning of the property. All grime and limescale must be removed. This includes a thorough cleaning of even the most difficult areas of every room. Although the above-mentioned substances are not usual for bedrooms (trust me, we’ve seen a lot of those), the dust is what we believe is the hardest to clean in the bedroom because it’s not easy to spot. But for our professional teams, this is not the case, simply because they are cleaning absolutely every corner, notch, and detail. For this to happen, here is what our experts will complete in your bedrooms:

• Remove cobwebs from ceilings and corners
• Dust reachable surfaces – wardrobes, shelving, and drawers;
• Wipe accumulated dust and dirt from the top of door frames;
• Clean dirt off curtain rails;
• Properly vacuum and dust both sides of curtains and blinds;
• Enhanced wipe and polish of mirrors, pictures, and other wall hangings;
• Dusting skirting boards, decorations and ornaments;
• Dust off all light fittings and lampshades;
• Clean and polish light switches;
• Remove dirty marks from walls (as much as possible);
• Carefully clean power sockets and extension cords;
• Thoroughly vacuum all mattresses above and underneath;
• Mop hard floors, laminate and/or tiles;
• Thoroughly hoover carpets and any upholstered furniture.

Dirt and mildew are most visible and least tolerable in bathrooms. We cannot guarantee to remove mildew as most times it results in damages to the surface. Toilets, showers, tiles, and bathtubs should be cleaned and polished as much as possible. To rid your bathrooms of lurking germs, to descale the showerhead in the easiest way, and to scrub the toilet, consider the following checklist as the ultimate bathroom cleaning, bacteria-targeting process:

• Clean basins, taps, and fittings;
• Remove hard water chlorine stains and smears;
• Descale any present limescale on metal and ceramic surfaces;
• Scrub and rinse dispensers;
• Wipe and polish radiators and towel rails;
• Scrub and rinse toilet and bidet, behind and beneath them;
• Clean plumbing behind the toilet bowl and under sink (if reachable);
• Wipe marks and stains from shower screens;
• Scrub and rinse bath marks and signs of mildew and mouldy spots;
• Unplug and clean drains;
• Wipe and polish mirrors and glass fixtures;
• Descale, rinse, and wipe showerheads, taps, and metal surfaces;
• Scrub and rinse accumulated dirt from the sink area;
• Clean extractor fans;
• Clean reachable bathroom tiles to shininess.

Bathrooms are the hardest to clean if they were not maintained regularly. It can be a huge pain to try and do it yourself if not having the proper professional equipment and materials, as well as the expertise. 

The kitchen is one of the most important areas to clean at the end of tenancy contract, but it’s also a place where dirt and grime can accumulate most easily. However, in our practice line, we’ve noticed that many customers believe a standard domestic cleaning for the kitchen serves them the same purpose. For this reason, we would like to express the fact that this is absolutely not true.

To revive this important room in your home, we used a very enhanced and detailed checklist:

• Wash and polish all worktops, countertops, and sink area;
• Clean inside cupboards, drawers, and shelves;
• Throw leftover food and carrier bags away (if any);
• Polish sinks and clean taps;
• Remove accumulated limescale;
• Degrease and polish wall tiles, splashback area;
• Remove mould growth between grout and fuges;
• Clean exterior of all appliances;
• Sanitize the bins and remove any present rubbish;
• Clean outside of cupboards and drawers;
• Stack and arrange cutlery, utensils, and other dining accessories (if any);
• Clean inside of windows and wipe down sills, ledges, and frames;
• Wipe dirt from the woodwork (doors, handles, doorframes, furnishings, and skirting boards);
• Clean and wipe radiators (if applicable and accessible);
• Remove dust from plugs and light switches;
• Vacuum, mop, and polish floors;
• Polish tables, and worktop surfaces
• Make sure to remove all fingerprints and marks;
• Clean any oil stains around oven area;

Apart from these, we’ll also:

• Clean and degrease the oven internally and externally;

The living room is undoubtedly the most widely-used space in the entire household. It’s our go-to place after a hard day at work or school. We also use it for spending quality time with friends and family, as well as watching our favorite movies and TV shows and just.. relaxing.

Appropriately, it’s called the ’Living room’ as it’s very well-lived in – a large chunk of our time is spent there, which is precisely why we must go out of our way to keep it as hygienic as possible. However, the stakes are much higher when you are a tenant who will soon be leaving the property and freeing it up for other future residents.  As such, you will be tasked with having to bring this most frequented space back to its former glory before taking your leave for good.
