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.

Move in/move out cleaning includes all standard cleaning tasks – like dusting, vacuuming and mopping –  as well cleaning appliances, inside windows and inside cupboards. 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.

Housekeep is the UK’s best cleaning service, with a 4.9* average rating. We’ve completed over 1.5 million cleans – including thousands of professional move in/move out cleans.

I was moving out of my rental property and had to have the house professionally cleaned and contacted housekeep.com. The young couple who arrived did a fantastic job and when i viewed the house after they had completed the cleaning service was really impressed. I would definitely recommend housekeep.com

She arrived on the earlier side of the appointment time which was amazing and she spent such a long time cleaning and making sure the flat was perfect for the end of tenancy clean. The whole flat was sparkling!!

The crew did a phenomenal job. Super thorough! Housekeep's (high) fee made the price really steep, but given the urgency with which we needed the clean and the great job delivered by the cleaning team, it was worth it regardless.

She always leaves everything spotless, works so quickly, and still finds time to iron too. The weekend is always so much better when she’s been. Thank you, Inga, you’re amazing..”
