The Ultimate Guide to Cleaning Your Home Before a Move

End of tenancy, deep cleaning block

Moving house is a huge task, and cleaning your home before you go is an essential step in the process. Whether you’re moving out of a rental property and need your deposit back, or just want to leave a clean space for the next occupant, this guide will help you tackle every corner of your home.

Room-by-Room Cleaning Plan:

Kitchen:

  • Start by cleaning out the fridge and cupboards. Dispose of any old or expired food.
  • Deep clean appliances like the oven, microwave, and hob. Remove grease and stains.
  • Wipe down countertops, cabinets (inside and out), and sinks. Polish taps to make them shine.

Living Room:

  • Dust and wipe down all surfaces, including shelves and electronics.
  • Vacuum any carpets and upholstery, especially under furniture.
  • Clean windows, mirrors, and light fixtures.

Bedrooms:

  • Empty wardrobes and drawers, then wipe them down.
  • Wash any linens you plan to leave behind or donate.
  • Dust all surfaces, including skirting boards and blinds.

Bathrooms:

  • Scrub the shower, bath, and sinks. Use a descaler if necessary.
  • Clean the toilet thoroughly and wipe down mirrors and any other glass surfaces.
  • Mop the floor with a disinfectant.

Don’t Forget the Final Touches:

  • Clean the windows, vacuum all floors, and mop where necessary.
  • Check the garden (if applicable) and tidy up any outdoor space.
