Frequently asked questions

Most tenancy agreements require you to organise an end of tenancy clean prior to checking out of the property.

If you do not organise a clean, and the property fails to meet the landlord’s requirements for cleanliness, you may have a fee deducted from your security deposit to cover the cost of cleaning.

End of tenancy cleaning is more thorough than a standard home clean, and takes longer to complete. It’s designed to thoroughly clean a property before new tenants move in.

Cleaning of kitchen appliances and white goods is included as standard in an end of tenancy clean. All cupboards will be cleaned - inside and out - as well as inside windows.

All standard cleaning tasks - like mopping, vacuuming and surface cleaning - are also completed during an end of tenancy clean.

End of tenancy cleaning is designed for completely empty homes, and is the most thorough clean you can book. Because the property is empty, the cleaning team can clean more hard-to-reach areas - including inside cupboards and appliances.

Deep cleaning is designed for lived-in homes, and is more thorough than a regular clean.

Ideally the property should be fully cleared. The only items that should be left in the property are those staying in the property after your tenancy ends. If you require the inside of cupboards to be cleaned, these will need to be emptied in advance of the clean.

We take a card payment when you book. We accept Visa, Mastercard and American Express payment cards. 

Cleaners can collect keys from a key safe, a neighbour or your estate agent (within a ten minute journey of the property). Just let us know where the keys will be in the ‘Any other details?’ section of the booking form.

It usually takes your cleaning team 3-5 hours to complete an end of tenancy clean.

The cleaning team will bring everything they need for your end of tenancy clean, including all products and a vacuum cleaner.

The two cleaners who cleaned my property were very professional, kind and did an excellent job cleaning the entire flat with great detail. They also kept checking if I was happy with the clean. They took lot of time to do a very thorough clean. It was worth the cost and time. I was very impressed.

Genuinely SO impressed with the service from the wonderful cleaning team. They arrived a little late as they'd had to spend longer at a previous job, but it quickly became clear why as they're incredibly thorough and meticulous. I usually would go with the cheapest quote I could find, but I've been burned before and I'm glad I spent a bit more for a much better service. Landlord commented that the place was in a better condition than when true previous tenant had left 2.5 years ago...! Wouldn't hesitate to use these folks again and recommend to others.

I recently used Petronela’s team for an end of tenancy clean, and I was extremely impressed with the service. The team was professional, punctual, and very thorough. They paid attention to every detail, leaving the property spotless and fresh. The kitchen, bathrooms, carpets, and even hard-to-reach areas were cleaned to a very high standard. Communication throughout the process was smooth, and the team was friendly and efficient. I would highly recommend Petronela’s team to anyone looking for a reliable and high-quality cleaning service. Excellent job from start to finish!
