Have a Successful Cleaning Session in Your Rented House
Making move out cleaning simple and fun isn't as hard as people would think it would be. Most people end up hiring cleaning companies to help them with the task, however if you have a day to spare and the strength to do it, it will be well rewarding. End of tenancy cleaning is very important as it leaves your place looking and feeling the way it once did when you moved in. Now that you know you will be doing it yourself, there are a few tips to have a successful cleaning session in your house.
1) Make sure everything is packed properly. The last thing you need is the headache of cleaning when your stuff is still lying all over the place! Put everything away into boxes, stack it up and ensure that you clear up the maximum amount of floor surface before you begin. This can and will include things such as rugs, carpets, floorboards and laminated flooring. Not to mention tiling or marble. Make a list before you begin. It makes your cleaning on the day much simpler.
2) If you have allergies such as dust allergy, pollen allergy or anything of the sort, take care of it beforehand. Take allergy pills and give yourself regular breaks, especially if you're feeling overwhelmed or like you want to cough and sneeze a lot. When you work through the house at your own speed, you will be able to complete the job more quickly as opposed to trying to frantically rush through everything. Remember to start your cleaning early, so that you can give it ample that time.
3) Get friends and family involved. Remember; cleaning a whole house yourself can be tedious and extremely tiresome. When you get some friends and family together, your life suddenly becomes easier as the burden lightens and you can all rally up to do the cleaning. Each person will be good at something specific, so if someone is good at bathroom cleaning give them the appropriate cleaning solutions and let them proceed. Remember that you cannot do everything yourself, so appreciate all the help you are getting. Make a checklist and mark when each room has been finished.
4) Speaking of checklists, your end of lease cleaning is incomplete without a checklist. When you have made one, check off even the smallest of things – especially when it comes to bathroom and kitchen cleaning. In the haste, you may forget to clean the sink or the bathtub! Your checklist will always keep you on track, not to mention ensuring that everything you have needed to clean has indeed been cleaned! Most professional cleaning companies use this technique with their cleaners; otherwise they would end up forgetting some things that they have to clean.
5) Start from the top left-hand corner of the house and work your way to the right, be it a flat or a house. This is one of the best kept secrets that cleaning agencies use because the cleaning seems to go faster when you use this method.
With all these tips, you will be able to enjoy a swift end of tenancy cleaning and have fun whilst you do it. Cleaning gives you a satisfying feeling that all your hard work has been put to good use and your place now looks gorgeous, ready to leave behind!
