Tips and Tricks for a Speedy End of Tenancy Clean in Knightsbridge

How to Easily Clean Your Property at the End of a Tenancy


Moving house in Knightsbridge is a long and tiresome process, and sometimes the actual act of packing and transporting your belongings from one property to another can overshadow your end of enancy clean. Although it’s easy to get caught up in the stress of the moving process, it’s important you plan your end of tenancy clean so you can make sure you’re going to get your deposit returned to you in full. However, if you’re struggling to find the time to plan your cleaning processes – let alone actually getting around to it – then have a look at this list of handy hints, tips and tricks for a speedy end of tenancy clean.


-    Speak to your landlord.
The first thing you’re going to want to do is confirm with your landlord exactly what it is they expect from your end of tenancy clean. Your landlord might be planning to renovate the property in Knightsbridge, SW3 you’ve been living in, so lengthy carpet cleaning and wall scrubbing might be a waste of time on your part! Similarly, your landlord might want to be replacing appliances like your fridge or cooker, so cleaning them might be something you’re not going to need to do. Speak to your landlord and see exactly what is planned for the property when you leave – you might find yourself with a lot less work to do than you first thought!


-    Plan each room.
Once you know what’s required of you it’s time to plan how you’re going to clean each room of the property. Consider what furniture is going to need to be moved, how long each room might take you to clean and what appliances you’re going to need. It’s best to thoroughly clean your home room-by-room rather than trying to do it all in one go, so think about which rooms of your home can be cleaned first and which ones are going to see the most traffic.


-    Make sure you have everything you need.
When you have a rough idea of what rooms are going to be cleaned in what order you can start to think about what cleaning items you’re going to need. Bleach, antibacterial sprays, air fresheners, drain unblockers and oven cleaners are all going to be needed. Make sure all the appliances in your home are as clean as you can get them – this means your microwave, oven and even the inside of your bins need to be clean before you leave the property!


-    Enlist the help of friends and family.
The end-of-tenancy clean can be a huge job, so you should enlist the help of your friends and family to give you a bit of peace of mind. If you share the property in the SW7 with your family then divide it up room by room and give different members of your family different responsibilities. This is a great way to get a lot of cleaning done over a short space of time.


-    Consider hiring professional help.
If you absolutely can’t find the time to get your end-of-tenancy clean done then you might want to think about hiring a professional cleaning company in Knightsbridge to do the job for you. Try to find a company that specialise in end of tenancy cleaning, and make sure you’re not paying more than you need to. Try getting as many different quotes as possible so you can find the best price – you don’t want to waste more money on cleaning than your deposit is actually worth!
