Move-out cleaning checklist

Plan your move-out clean after your belongings have been removed. First review the terms of your tenancy or property handover, which may require specific cleaning tasks.

Before cleaning

Empty the rooms and any storage space. Make sure the cleaner can access the property and has enough time before handover.

  • Confirm when the keys must be returned.
  • Get a written list of tasks included in the cleaning quote.
  • Agree separately on windows and balconies if needed.

Kitchen

Grease and food residue build up in kitchens. Check whether appliance interiors and cupboards are included.

  • Wipe worktops, cupboard doors and shelves.
  • Clean the hob and agreed oven surfaces.
  • Clean the fridge and freezer as agreed.
  • Check the sink, taps, waste cupboard and floor.

Bathroom and toilet

Limescale and drains may require additional work, so discuss them in advance.

  • Clean sinks, taps and the toilet.
  • Wash the agreed floor and wall surfaces.
  • Check mirrors and shelves.
  • Confirm whether the floor drain and sauna are included.

Other rooms and final inspection

Inspect the property in daylight after cleaning and document its condition.

  • Wipe cupboards and fixtures included in your agreement.
  • Vacuum and mop with appropriate care for the floor material.
  • Check doors, switches and visible skirting boards.
  • Photograph rooms and report any issues promptly.
