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.

We are extremely impressed with our end-of-tenancy clean. The cleaner, Juan, went far above and beyond. I don't think the flat has ever been this clean. Will be using this service again. Thank you!

Mario and Lucia did a great job at cleaning my property. The flat was in a pretty bad state but they still managed to make it look & feel so fresh at the end of the day. They even spent a bit of extra time to make sure the cleaning was completed properly. The best part, they managed to resurect the oven from the dead, leaving it spotless. They were lovely to chat to while discussing instructions and expectations when they arrived. Besifes, they showed up on time. Thanks a lot!

Miracle worker - the tenant had left the flat in quite a state with piles of dust and grime everywhere. Somehow he got the place looking spotless again. Really pleased with the clean and wouldn't hesitate to use again.

Upon meeting the cleaner, they were showing me where they might clean, some of which I didn't even notice would require one. The flat is so spotless now and hiring the cleaner was so worth it.
