The Move-Out Cleaning Checklist
An empty property is easier to clean thoroughly. Plan the work after moving and maintenance are complete.

Start with the priorities
An empty property is easier to clean thoroughly. Plan the work after moving and maintenance are complete.
- Confirm the lease requirements; cleaning cannot guarantee a deposit refund.
- Agree on appliance and cabinet interiors before the visit.
- Work from high surfaces to low, finishing floors last.
Plan before you clean
Check product labels and surface-care instructions. Never mix cleaning products, and test an appropriate cleaner in an inconspicuous spot before use.
If hiring a provider, agree on tasks, access, timing and pricing first. Clearhaven Cleaning is a fictional portfolio demonstration and does not take bookings.
