What Is End of Tenancy Cleaning?

By End of Tenancy Cleaning Cork

When you sign your tenancy agreement, it is essential to be aware of several key points. One of the most important requirements is that you must return the property in the exact condition you found it at the start of your tenancy. This essentially refers to the level of cleanliness of the property.

An end of tenancy cleaning service, commonly referred to as move out / moving out cleaning, exit cleaning or bond cleaning refers to the deep internal cleaning of the entirety of your house or flat before leaving a rental property. Unlike standard or maintenance cleaning, this type of service involves:

• Deep cleaning of kitchens, including ovens, hobs, fridges and freezer, extractor fans and other kitchen appliances

• Sanitising bathrooms, removing limescale from sinks, toilets, and showers

• All other rooms including hallways and stairs throughout the entire property

• Carpet and upholstery cleaning (often required by landlords)

• Window cleaning (inside and sometimes outside)

• Door and skirting board wiping

• Vacuuming and furniture dusting (if the property is furnished)

Given that landlords expect properties to be returned in their original condition, investing in professional end-of-tenancy cleaners is a smart decision. This not only guarantees compliance with rental agreements but also significantly minimizes the risk of deposit deductions.
