What Is End Of Lease Cleaning?

It is the thorough cleaning and sanitizing of the rented property at the end of the lease term, as the name suggests. The tenant is responsible for thoroughly cleaning the property because the bond's return is contingent on it.

The security deposit that the landlord asks the tenant to make at the start of the tenancy is called the bond. In most cases, the tenant must receive the entire refund. However, if the property has not been cleaned appropriately, the landlord or property manager can claim the tenant's bond.

Whether you hire professionals or plan to do it yourself, you need to know what is included in comprehensive end-of-lease cleaning. The full details are as follows:

Over-All Cleaning Of The Rooms

The bedrooms and living room should be thoroughly cleaned, making sure to get into all the nooks and crannies. Carpets need to be cleaned carefully because the living room gets a lot of foot traffic.

In Australia, the most crucial aspect of the end-of-lease cleaning is making sure that every room is cleaned. Therefore, you must begin at the top and clear the ceiling and wall corners of all cobwebs. The ceiling fans should then be cleaned on both sides. The next thing you need to do is work your magic on the air conditioners and make sure the filters don't get dirty. You must clean the light switches and the area behind the light fixtures while dusting the walls. Clean the skirting boards, doors, and architraves of all dirt. Start cleaning the shelves, drawers, cabinets, and drawers as well as the dirt that has built up on top of them. After that, you should clean the windows, including the blinds, from both sides. A vacuum cleaner should be used to clean the window tracks and rails. Vacuuming the carpet and floor, as well as mopping the hard floors, should be the final stage of room cleaning.

Sanitation Of The Kitchen

Due to the constant movement and cooking, the kitchen is one of the most used rooms in the house and also one of the dirtiest. It is unsanitary due to the accumulation of dust, oil vapours, grunge, and grime. Examine the necessary changes for the cleaning at the end of the lease.

Always start at the top, cleaning the ceiling lights and wiping the walls of dust. Before moving on to the inside of the drawers and cabinets, clean the shelves and tops of the cabinets. Use natural cleaners to effectively disinfect the countertop and other surfaces without affecting their texture. Clean the stovetop's rings and knobs while you're at it. Cleaners that do not leave any scratches should be used to scrape the muck off the knobs and rings.

Ovens and grills, for example, need to be thoroughly cleaned. Therefore, clean the machines' interior and exterior with organic cleaners after removing the detachable parts and washing them with soap and water. Make sure to clean the sink and polish the faucets, as well as the drain holes and drainers. Cleaning the filter on the range hood is the most difficult part. Cleaning up at the end of a lease can be done perfectly by professionals.

Bathroom Cleaning

Due to the presence of moisture, these areas produce mold and mildew infestations as well as serve as germ and bacteria breeding grounds. Therefore, you should ensure a methodical cleaning.

Clean the cabinets, towel rails, shelves, and soap holders first, then the ceiling. Wash the walls and taps thoroughly to remove all soap scum and hard water stains. Clean the toilet, cistern, toilet seat, tub, basin, showerhead, shower curtains, and taps as well as the area behind the "S" bend. Ensure that the white surfaces are free of spots and stains. Sweep, wash, and scrub the floor to get rid of any extra water. Clean the tiles and mirrors. If you notice any mold, remove it. If it is embedded in the grout, professionals should be contacted to remove it.

Grooming The Outdoor Area

The first things that the property managers will notice are the patio, garden, and garage in the outdoor area. Make sure everything is in working order.

Trim the overgrown hedges, remove the weed, and sweep the garden to remove all the leaves and branches. Put the garbage in the trash, clean the bins from the inside, and clean the driveway. Sweep the garage and vacuum the walls and cobwebs. Completely dust the interiors. Follow the same steps as for the other rooms if there is a separate laundry. Laundry tub, shelves, faucets, dryer, cupboards, drawers, walls, and windows should all be cleaned.
