Our Tips for End of Lease cleaning:

Prepare all cleaning product and supplies in advance:

Before you start the cleaning, you should make sure you have all of the cleaning products you need close by. We suggest you’ll place them in the same location (like in a cabinet or a closet). Example for such products: Broom, vacuum, gloves, mop, bucket, sponges, cleaning soap, paper towels, garbage bags, etc.

Remove any available Furniture before:

In order to ease up the process, you can clear the house from as much furniture and belongings as possible. It can be so much easier to do a thorough cleaning of an empty space rather than a loaded one. Moreover, by doing so, you’ll get more access to non-reachable locations and could easily clean them.

Prepare and Follow a schedule:

Make a cleaning schedule in advances and check out any finished tasks. It’ll encourage you to finish all the tasks quickly and in the most efficient way. Moreover, you can divide your tasks in a way that every day you clean a room or an area in the house.
