What You Should Know About Move Out Cleaning
Moving out can be a laborious process, from having to sort through your belongings and deciding what stays and what goes, to deep cleaning your entire apartment or house. When you first move into your new place isn’t the only time you should deep clean, but also when you are getting ready to move out for the next person or family who moves into the space.
Move out cleaning is especially important if you currently live, and are soon moving out of, a rental property. Whether your apartment lease is ending, or you are moving out of a rental home, you should perform deep cleaning throughout the property to avoid your landlord charging a cleaning deposit.
House Cleaning Tips
- Work from Top to Bottom: Cleaning from top to bottom is important due to dust and debris will loosen and travel as you clean. So, starting with ceiling vents and fans will allow the dirt to settle on the bottom of the room first, allowing for a more thorough cleaning job later.
- Clean Step by Step: Large rooms and rooms that are full of clutter can be especially difficult to tackle at first. That’s why when you clean, you should break down the cleaning process into steps. Start in one room, then break down what needs to be done into smaller tasks. Also, give yourself a set amount of time you intend to clean for. This often helps to encourage you to clean faster, or for a longer time.
- Have a Checklist: Similar to deep cleaning one room at a time, it helps to have a checklist to track what has been cleaned and what still needs to be cleaned. There are many detailed checklists online that can be used, or you can create your own based on how you like to clean or tackle housekeeping tasks.
Examples of tasks on a checklist may include:
- Dusting ceiling fans
- Washing doors and windows
- Polishing hardwood
- Cleaning the oven and stovetop
- Cleaning the showers
Checklists may also include yard work if you are responsible for such tasks. Move out cleaning is an extensive process, but you don’t have to do it alone! Professional house cleaning services can help you to speed the move out cleaning process along.
