Most people don't know much about end of tenancy cleaning, and very often they make mistakes in the end of their tenancy periods which cost them their rental deposits. That is why I'm going to share with you a few tenancy cleaning tips. Here they are:
First of all, always clean from the top-down of the place to keep already cleaned places clean, and never skip cleaning anything.
Repair all kinds of damages and broken furnishings, and remove the stains from the carpets and upholsteries. If you leave them, your landlord won't return your rental deposit.
When you're cleaning a stain always work from the outside-in of it, so not to spread it wider.
Before you apply a stain removing solution or detergent to the carpet, sofa, or anything else, always try it on an inconspicuous area of the furnishing, first.
Clean the kitchen appliances. They must be spotless.
Clean the windows in the property. If you leave them dirty your landlord might decide that you haven't cleaned anything. Tenancy cleaning specialists recommend that you use a solution of one cup rubbing alcohol and one part white vinegar for this purpose.
If there are any bad odours in the property, ventilate and deodorise it. Don't use commercial deodorisers or aerosols, as they only mix with the evil smell. You can replace them with a mixture of baking soda and potpourri, or lemons cut in halves. These natural products absorb all stenches.
If there is mould in the property, use a mixture of vinegar, salt and eucalyptus essential oil to remove it. Don't use bleach, or other strong detergents, as they are chlorine-based and will make the place smell bad. Moreover, in most cases the mouldy surface becomes yellow from the chlorine.
These are the end of tenancy cleaning tips which I wanted to share with you. If you doubt that you'll manage to clean your lodging on your own, don't hesitate to hire a move out cleaning London company. These firms don't forget to clean anything and their work always satisfies landlords.
