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.

Our deep cleaning service 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. 
 

We 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.

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.

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!

Not only were they polite, efficient and on time, I genuinely can't get over what a fantastic job the two gentlemen did today. I walked into the flat and had to do a double take- I don't think it looked this good when we actually moved in! I am unbelievably grateful for their hard work, attention to detail and professionalism. This was, without doubt, the best clean I've had and would 100% book again. Thank you so much!

West Didsbury (M20)
The cleaners were incredibly thorough and genuinely impressive! Every room was left spotless, with careful attention paid to areas that are so often overlooked during end‑of‑tenancy cleans. They worked methodically, were respectful of the space, and delivered a finish that made the property look its absolute best. I’d happily recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, high‑standard cleaning team!

The clean was efficient and performed to a high standard. Each surface was considered and items which we thought couldn't be cleaned more than they were, were made to look like new. Would recommend the service to any tenant moving out of a property
