A move-in/move-out cleaning is much more thorough than a routine cleaning. The goal is to leave the space as a "blank canvas," removing all traces of previous tenants or preparing the place to receive your furniture without any construction dust or accumulated dirt.
Here's what a professional and complete cleaning should typically include:
1. Kitchen (The most critical area)
This is where the most grease and organic residue accumulate.
• Interior and exterior of cabinets: Deep cleaning of shelves and drawers (where crumbs or spice residue often remain).
• Appliances: Cleaning the inside of the oven and microwave.
• Refrigerator: Complete cleaning inside and out, and, if possible, behind and under the appliance.
• Countertops and sink: Disinfection of surfaces and polishing of faucets to remove limescale.
2. Bathrooms
The focus here is complete disinfection.
• Mold and limescale removal: On tiles, grout, bathtubs, and showers.
• Toilets: Deep cleaning and disinfection of the toilet (inside and base).
• Mirrors and glass: Streak-free cleaning.
• Vanities: Cleaning the inside of drawers and under the sink.
3. General Areas (Rooms and Living Spaces)
• Walls: Removal of cobwebs and dust in corners.
• Baseboards: This is vital, as a lot of dust accumulates here that is not usually cleaned.
• Doors and frames: Cleaning of fingerprints and dust on the top of the frames.
• Light switches and outlets: Disinfection (they are often very dirty from constant use).
• Wardrobes and closets: Cleaning of shelves, rods, and rails.
4. Floors and Windows
• Windows: Cleaning of glass on the inside, as well as the tracks and frames. • Floors: Deep vacuuming (especially in corners) and mopping with appropriate products depending on the material (wood, ceramic, marble).
• Carpets: Vacuuming
5. Details that make a difference
• Ventilation: Cleaning of air conditioning vents or exhaust fans.
• Lamps: Dusting of light bulbs and lampshades. Additional exterior window cleaning: I have my own supplies. Visit us at WWW.SUZYS-CLEANING.COM.
