1. Furniture

There is virtually no apartment with one or two pieces of furniture here and there. Hence, you have to carry out good cleaning services as far as furniture is concerned. To do this, ensure that you vacuum the furniture and use a dry wash solution for cleaning. If you used to live with small children, smoke cigarettes or live with pets, it is possible to have dust, hair or smell coming from the upholstery; make sure that you get rid of the odor and dirt. Also, apply almonds and coffee grounds to rub off any scuff marks or dings that might be present on a wooden upholstery. And for a pristine appearance, you can apply lemon oil or use wood polish.

2. Curtains and Blinds

You can take the curtains to the dry cleaners if they are washable. Carry out the same thing with blinds. Also, endeavor to dust the slats of Venetian blinds – the two sides. If the blinds have been damaged, try to replace or repair them.

3. Garden and exterior

If your apartment has a garden shed, then, you have to make it neat. Make sure that you sweep out the leaves, hose down the decking and remove any debris from the patio space. Set the flower beds orderly and mow the lawn – if present. If you packed into the house while the gate was in good condition, endeavor to repair it if it was damaged by the time you are leaving; otherwise, you will be charged for it.

4. Staircases and Hallways

Staircases and Hallways are two aspects of the house which are regularly used; hence, they do demand serious and effective cleaning. Use steam cleaning to get rid of every dirt out of the rugs and carpets. And ensure you leave them in good order.

5. Rugs and Carpets

These two materials are best cleaned to look brand new with steam cleaner – you may need to hire one if you don’t have. However, in a case where you can’t get one, the least you can do is to vacuum every aspect of the carpets and use a wire brush to scrub out any hair trapped within the fibers.
By the time you hire the steam vacuum, you can get other accessories with it to clean other areas of the house such as floor, tiles, windows, kitchen, walls and many more.
As long as you can clean all these areas - among others - effectively, you stand a good chance of getting your deposit in full. However, if you know that you don’t have the time, expertise and strength to carry out DIY, contact ByZy Bees End of Tenancy Cleaners.
