Maximizing Your Deposit Return: The Importance of End-of-Tenancy Cleaning

Are you planning to move out of your rented property soon? As you embark on this exciting new chapter, it's crucial to ensure you leave your current residence in the best possible condition. One way to do that is by investing in an end-of-tenancy cleaning service. In this blog post, we'll delve into the reasons why opting for professional cleaning can make a world of difference in securing the return of your deposit and leaving the property in its original state.


1. Impress Your Landlord:


Picture this: your landlord walks through the door for the final inspection, and they're met with a spotless, sparkling property. This immediate positive impression sets the tone for the inspection process and communicates your responsible nature as a tenant. A well-cleaned property not only showcases your respect for the space you've lived in but also demonstrates your commitment to following lease agreements.


2. Meet Lease Agreement Requirements:


Many rental agreements stipulate that tenants are responsible for leaving the property in the same condition as they found it. This includes a thorough cleaning of all rooms, fixtures, appliances, and surfaces. Failure to meet these cleaning requirements could result in deductions from your deposit to cover cleaning costs. Hiring a professional end-of-tenancy cleaning service ensures that every nook and cranny is addressed, reducing the risk of disputes over cleanliness.

3. Save Time and Energy:

Moving is a taxing process, requiring significant time and effort. By delegating the cleaning responsibilities to professionals, you can focus on packing, coordinating logistics, and settling into your new home. End-of-tenancy cleaning services are equipped with the expertise, tools, and cleaning products to tackle even the toughest cleaning tasks efficiently and effectively.


4. Comprehensive Cleaning:


End-of-tenancy cleaning services go beyond the regular surface cleaning that you might do on a routine basis. They specialize in deep cleaning, ensuring that areas often overlooked, such as behind appliances, inside cabinets, and beneath furniture, receive meticulous attention. By addressing these hidden spaces, you increase the likelihood of receiving your full deposit back.


5. Avoid Disputes:


One of the most common reasons for disputes between tenants and landlords is the cleanliness of the property upon move-out. A professional cleaning service provides you with a detailed checklist and documentation of the cleaning process, serving as evidence of your efforts to maintain the property. This documentation can be invaluable in case of any disagreements about the condition of the property.


6. Enhance Future Rental Opportunities:


Leaving a property in pristine condition not only ensures the return of your deposit but also leaves you with a positive reference from your landlord. This reference can play a significant role in your future rental endeavors, as landlords are more likely to trust tenants who have a history of taking care of their rented spaces.


Conclusion: Your Path to a Smooth Move-Out


As you prepare to bid farewell to your current rental property, remember that investing in an end-of-tenancy cleaning service is a smart decision that offers numerous benefits. From impressing your landlord and meeting lease agreement requirements to saving time and enhancing your future rental opportunities, the advantages are clear. By leaving the property in its original state through professional cleaning, you're not only ensuring the return of your deposit but also leaving a lasting positive impression. So, make your move-out a stress-free and successful experience by choosing an end-of-tenancy cleaning service today. Your deposit and peace of mind are well worth it!

Limescale content in our tap water is ‘linked to the geological nature of the soil’ (Cleaning Wizard, 2018) and statistics from water supplier, Sutton and East Surrey Water state that ‘85% [of water] comes from underground’ in the region. This means our water is exposed to the rock and minerals that make it high in limescale, or ‘hard’. So, we are here to enlighten you on the effects it has and the tricks to removing it. ‘Hard’ water is largely filtered through limescale and chalk deposits which means there is a high level of calcium and magnesium mineral ions. There are currently 4 water suppliers who provide water to Surrey: South East Water, Sutton and East Surrey Water PLC, Thames Water and Affinity Water. Affinity Water is the main water supplier to the Woking area and state on their website that their ‘supply area has, in general, ‘hard’ or ‘very hard’ water’ (Affinity Water, 2018). As a result, you may find that it is difficult to produce a lather from soap when you wash your hands or shower, but also that limescale is deposited on: tapware, silverware, electrical appliances such as coffee machines and kettles and glassware. Let’s be honest is a real pain, so here are some tricks and tips to removing it! It’s worth knowing that limescale can’t be removed instantly, it takes time and there are two main ways of tackling it yourself. Firstly, you can use products that aren’t chemical based or secondly, chemical cleaning products. Of course if neither of these suit you and you’d rather someone else do it that’s where our services at Lemon Fresh Cleans come in. The first choice of limescale removal for most people are natural products such as vinegar and lemon juice. Natural acids such as these can be left to soak from an hour - overnight then scrubbed off, usually on areas where limescale gathers such as kitchen and bathroom surfaces and taps. The only downside of this eco-friendly approach is it is time consuming and if not done properly the scrubbing can lead to damage of surfaces and metallic objects such as taps. The second choice lies in cleaning products such as Viakal, which are affordable and accessible online and in most supermarkets. Again, there is a risk of damage to taps and surfaces. So if you’re unsure, don’t want to take the risk or just don’t have the time then contact us and enquire about our services and how we can keep your home or business limescale free.

Current statistics state that 5.4 million people Nationwide suffer from asthma. To put that into perspective: 1 in 11 children suffer, 1 in 12 adults suffer and 1 in 5 Households is home to a sufferer (Asthma UK). This information suggests that you, a family member, or someone you know is currently suffering from asthma. So, it’s about time we cleared up the myth that surrounds cleaning and how it impacts asthma, the ‘chronic (long term) lung disease’ that so many of us across the UK struggle with on a daily basis (NHLBI). The common cleaning myth suggests that “over cleaning your house is making your asthma worse”. Whereas, in reality cleaning your home sufficiently reduces or even prevents some of the most prevalent asthma triggers around such as: dust mites, mould, pet hair and cold and flu viruses. Cleaning controls the residence of and exposure to harmful germs and microbes in the home and it has been proven that ‘deep cleaning [acts] as an effective asthma reduction method’ (Fields Smith, M). People will often complain that they react to dust mites and ‘as many as 90% of people with asthma are sensitive’ to them (Asthma UK). Dust mites are more susceptible to fabric based areas in rooms such as the lounge and bedrooms, regular dusting could do you the world of good! Mould on the other hand is mostly found in damp areas, for example the bathroom and kitchen. Cleaning and effectively drying these damp areas of the house will heavily reduce mould spores from developing there and becoming a problematic trigger for asthma. Health experts have ‘known for some time that colds and flu can raise your risk of having an asthma attack’ (Asthma UK), which makes it even more important we contain the spread of them. Cold and flu viruses are not entirely avoidable and there is a high likelihood for germs to gather on door handles, tables, work tops and other areas that used regularly. However, using antibacterial and cleaning products to thoroughly clean such areas will heavily reduce the risk of the spread and lower the impact of the trigger.

So the office place has been ranked one of the most unhealthiest places your are going to inhabit on a daily basis.. Following research has shown that sick days could be significantly reduced if companies implement a better cleaning routine. A recent study by Dr Ackerley that the main source of germs at your desk is poor personal hygiene as a recent survey has proven that nearly 50% of some work places do not wash there hands after going to the toilet. Ew. Crumbs and spillages encourage growth in bacteria that can lead to stomach bugs, colds, flu and even food poisoning. Bacteria and viruses that you bring back from the toilet multiply of the work surface and remain infectious for 24 hours. Some common bacteria found on your work surface... Pseudomonas aeruginosa - commonly found in man-made environments like the office and causes illnesses for those with weakened immune systems. Staphylococcus aureus - found in the office where there is contact with skin on items such as keyboards, chairs and door handles. Actinomycetales - found in water and can be transferred from one surface to another. Norovirus - commonly found in the office and transferred by food and water. Given that most people eat there breakfast/lunch/snack at there desk we should really be implementing more strategic cleaning routines in the work place. Having a clean and tidy work place also brings professionalism to your company and organisation as well as being germ free to prevent unnecessary sick days off!
