End of tenancy cleaning checklist for landlords and tenants
A practical end of tenancy cleaning checklist covering kitchens, bathrooms, carpets, appliances and inspection risks.
Think like the inspector
Inspection usually focuses on kitchens, bathrooms, limescale, oven condition, carpets, dust lines, windows and forgotten cupboards.
Do the hard rooms first
Kitchen and bathroom work takes longer than expected. Leave them until last and the whole clean becomes rushed.
Photograph the result
Photos after cleaning help tenants, landlords and agents avoid confusion about what was done and what was pre-existing.
When to book cleaning
Book a professional clean when deposit risk, agent standards, viewings or fast move-in dates matter.
