Are you moving out? Need to hand over the property to your landlord? If yes, then you are expected
to clean the home until the landlord is fully satisfied.
11 end of lease cleaning tips
1. Do your end of tenancy cleaning after you’ve moved out, so you don’t have to work around
your belongings. Consider using natural products (such as vinegar) as they don’t leave
behind unpleasant chemical odours.
2. Work from the top down. Start by de-cobwebbing the ceiling and upper corners in all rooms.
Dust the blades of overhead fans.
3. Dust or vacuum window coverings (draperies, blinds, curtains). Consider laundering curtains
and having drapes professionally cleaned.
4. Thoroughly clean and degrease kitchen appliances: oven, stovetop (including stove hood),
refrigerator (including freezer), microwave and dishwasher.
5. Wipe down all kitchen countertops, back splashes, cupboard doors, etc.
6. Check kitchen walls for grease splatters and other food stains.
7. Empty all kitchen cupboards and drawers. Give them a quick wipe with a sponge.
8. Scour all bathrooms: tubs, showers, sinks and toilets. Don’t neglect the tiles and fixtures.
9. Wipe down bathroom countertops and cupboard doors, as well as inside cupboards and
drawers.
10. Empty all bedroom closets and other closets. For a furnished place, check inside drawers
and under bedroom furniture, and remove any debris. Wipe shelves, drawers and furniture
surfaces.
