Frequently asked questions

Most tenancy agreements require you to organise a move-out/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.

Move in/out 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 a move in/out clean. All cupboards will be cleaned - inside and out - as well as inside windows.

All tasks included in a standard home clean - including mopping, vacuuming and surface cleaning - are also completed during a move in/out clean.

Our move in/move out cleaning service is the most thorough clean you can book. It's designed for homes that are completely empty, so the cleaning team can clean even more hard-to-reach areas - including the inside of cupboards & appliances.

Deep cleaning is more thorough than regular cleaning, but is designed for homes that are still being lived in.

Ideally the property should be fully cleared. The only items that should be left in the property are those staying in the property after you move out. 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 walk 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 a move-in/move-out clean.

The cleaning team will bring everything they need for your move in/move out clean, including all products and a vacuum cleaner.

You can customise your move in/move out clean with extra tasks, including inside fridge/freezer cleaning, carpet steam cleaning, upholstery & sofa steam cleaning, and cleaning external areas (balconies, terraces, patios).

Move in/move out cleans are normally completed by a team of two professional cleaners. They’ll bring all of the products and equipment for the perfect clean. All you need to do is make sure that the property is packed up and emptied before they arrive.

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!

“Sahara came at short notice and in the evening. Thank you She worked hard. The good thing about Sahara is that she understands and remembers the list of things I give her to do and how I wish the tasks to be carried out. Well done. Addionally, this time I found out she can reach a lot of things and didn't need to use the steps I'd got out. Fantastic. I feel much better about not having to use steps ! I hope Sahara gets some rest over the weekend and look forward to seeing her next week. Thank you.”
