Divide and Conquer

If you decide to do the Post Tenancy cleaning yourself, it may appear daunting as there are so many areas to clean, what to clean and where to begin.

Don’t stress yourself out. Take one step at a time. Split the move out cleaning activities into different days so that it is more manageable for you. For example, you can allocate a day to clean the windows, another day to clean the bathrooms, another day to clean the kitchen, and another day to clean the bathrooms.

And also consider what cleaning tools and solutions or material you may need for each cleaning activity. Then purchase them if you do not have them already in your store. The key is to plan early. Start thinking about what needs to be done, how you are going to do it and how you are going to do it.

Clean The Kitchen

Usually, one of the most challenging parts of the house for End Tenancy cleaning is the kitchen. It is the area where there will be grease stains on the cooker hoods and cabinets that need to be dealt with. And you have electrical appliances like the fridge, oven, washer and dryer which may a lot of elbow grease to scrub and clean.

For the kitchen, start by disposing all the unwanted food items in the fridge. cupboards, cabinets. Pack all the items on the shelves and cabinets that you would want to bring to the new apartment.

Next is to tackle the greasy cooker hood and hob. Make sure you have a good degreaser to remove all the all stains effectively. For the fridge, make sure you switch off the power first, then remove all the shelves to the kitchen sink to wash with a cleaning detergent solution. Proceed with cleaning all the kitchen cabinets external and internal surfaces. And finish off with cleaning the walls and floor of the kitchen.

Clean Your Rooms

For cleaning bedrooms, or study room or living room in the apartment, it will be easier to clean more effectively if there are not too many furniture and personal things lying around.

Pack the personal items such as clothes, toys into boxes to declutter the space for cleaning. This will keep them from getting damaged.

Move the furniture to one corner of the room so that it is not in the way and tight corners can be easily reached.

Clean Your Bathrooms

Clear your bathrooms of all personal toiletries, clothes, pails, mops etc. Inspect the shower screen and see if there are tough water stains to remove. Check if there is mould on floor or wall grouting. If there is, you can use bleach on the mould stains to clean. In case you are using bleach, make sure the bathroom is well-ventilated. Make sure you also wear protective gear like goggles, mask and rubber gloves.

Consider using disinfecting the fixtures and toilet seats after cleaning.

Don’t Forget the Painted Walls

It is costly to repaint the whole house walls and probably more so that you are leaving the house and not enjoy the new coat of paint. So the next best alternative is to ensure the paint condition of the walls is in relatively good shape for handover.

Inspect the walls for obvious marks and stains. Use a soft sponge and good cleaner to wipe off those stains. If the stains cannot be easier removed by cleaning, then you may want to consider using similar colour emulsion paint to cover up the stains.

And lastly, don’t forget to remove all nails, screws and hooks which you may have placed on the walls. You may need the patch up the holes left by the screws and hooks with grout cement
