What should you expect from a Move-Out Cleaning? Commercial cleaning companies are hired to perform move-out cleanings to ensure the property is left in what is referred to as a “normal wear and tear” condition. Normal wear and tear implies that while the property was not left in the condition it was first received, it was left in a reasonable condition for being lived in for a certain period of time. Therefore, most landlords will expect that walls will have to be repainted, carpet will have to be replaced, and other minor items may be needed to prepare for new tenants.
However, things like spots on floors, holes in walls, and excessive amounts of dust, dirt or debris may cause tenants to lose some or all of their security deposits for non cleaning. However, to reduce the changes of losing your security deposit, a professional cleaning company should be employed to ensure all areas are in good condition. A good move-out cleaning check-list should include: Clean all bathrooms - cleaning around toilets, sinks, bathtubs, shining chrome fixtures, cleaning inside and outside of cabinets and drawers, cleaning mirrors, dusting vents and light fixtures, wipe down walls and baseboards, sweeping and moping the floor. Clean the kitchen – clean sinks, behind all remaining appliances, wipe down stove removing all eye covers and removing stuck on food and debris, clean inside and outside of cabinets and drawers, wipe down walls and baseboards, sweep and mop floor. (Cleaning the interior/exterior of stoves and refrigerators is usually an additional cost) Clean Rooms – Dusting all remaining items, vacuum/sweep in corners, clean light fixtures/ceiling fans/vents, repair holes in walls (for an additional cost), sweep/mop where applicable. Floors – Remove spots in floors (could be an additional charge), sweep/mop, vacuum. Other – Clean windows and windowsills, wipe down and clean behind laundry machines, in closets, basements, and all hallway areas. Have other move-out cleaning suggestions?

Keeping Your Office Clean Between Cleanings For offices that don’t have daily janitorial services, maintaining a clean space is of the utmost importance. When trash cans are not changed, kitchen and breakrooms are not fully cleaned, and limited vacuuming/sweeping increases the accumulation of dirt and debris on the floors. However, there are a few tricks that can be employed by all to ensure the office remains neat and tidy between cleanings.
Maintaining a clean office is not just the job of the Janitorial company, but everyone. Employing these simple steps can definitely make a difference in the cleanliness of your office. |
