Moving home is always a stressful process, filled with a myriad of tasks to check off your to-do list. When moving out of a rental property there is one crucial decision that often arises and that is whether to opt to use the services of a professional cleaning company or whether to tackle the cleaning chores yourself. Many tenancy agreements stipulate that you must employ a professional cleaning company when moving out. However that is not always the case. While doing the cleaning yourself may seem like a cost-effective solution, there are compelling reasons why investing in a professional clean is the best decision.
High Standards
Rental agreements typically stipulate that tenants must return the property in the same condition it was in when they moved in. Professional cleaning companies are well-versed in the industry standards and know exactly what landlords and letting agents look for during the final inspection. They can ensure that every nook and cranny is thoroughly cleaned, meeting the high cleanliness standards required by landlords to get your full deposit back.
Time
Moving is a time-consuming process, and cleaning an entire property on your own can be a significant drain on your time and energy. Professional cleaning companies are equipped with the necessary tools, expertise, and a team of trained professionals to efficiently handle the job. This allows you to focus on other essential aspects of your move, making the whole thing smoother and less overwhelming.
Deposit
One of the primary motivations for most tenants when investing in a professional clean is in order to get their full deposit back. Landlords often deduct money from deposits if they do not feel that the property has been returned in the same condition that it was in at the beginning of the tenancy. By opting to have a professional clean done tenants can provide concrete evidence that the property has been thoroughly cleaned, reducing the risk of any deductions.
Hidden Issues
Professional cleaners have an eye for detail and can identify hidden issues that may go unnoticed during a domestic clean. From lingering odours to hidden stains, they have the expertise and tools to address and rectify these issues. This attention to detail ensures that the property is not only visibly clean but they can also address potential issues before they are flagged up at the check-out.
Peace of Mind
Moving is undeniably a stressful experience, and knowing that you’ve entrusted the cleaning to professionals can offer peace of mind. It alleviates the worry of whether you’ve missed any crucial cleaning tasks and allows you to focus on settling into your new home.
While a domestic clean may seem like a cost-effective option, investing in a professional cleaning service when moving out of a rental property is a wise decision. It not only saves you time and effort but also ensures that you meet the high cleanliness standards required by landlords, giving you the best chance of receiving your full deposit back. The peace of mind and guarantee of a job well done make a professional clean a valuable investment in the midst of the chaos of moving.
