End of Tenancy Cleaning: What You Need to Know

Moving out can be stressful, but a thorough cleaning doesn’t have to be. A good end of tenancy clean takes the pressure off you, helps you get your deposit back, and leaves the next tenants happy. Below you’ll find the basics of what’s covered, how to pick a reliable provider, and why Dandy Fox Cleaning makes a great choice.

What’s Included in End of Tenancy Cleaning?

Most professional teams start with the kitchen. They degrease ovens, scrub stovetops, wipe cupboards inside and out, and mop the floor. The bathroom gets the same attention – tiles, grout, shower screens, toilets, and mirrors are all polished until they shine. Living areas and bedrooms aren’t ignored; carpets are vacuumed, stains are spot‑treated, and hard‑floor surfaces are swept and mopped.

Extra tasks often appear on the checklist: cleaning inside wardrobes, dusting vents, and wiping down light switches. If the lease requires it, windows are washed, and any built‑in appliances are given a quick shine. The goal is to leave every surface looking as good as, or better than, the condition when the property was first let.

How to Choose the Right Cleaning Service

First, check that the company offers a written guarantee for deposit protection. A clear policy means they’ll re‑clean if the landlord isn’t satisfied, at no extra cost to you. Second, compare prices but don’t pick the cheapest option automatically – a very low quote can mean shortcuts or missed tasks.

Read recent customer reviews. Look for comments about punctuality, thoroughness, and communication. A service that replies quickly to questions and provides a detailed cleaning plan is usually more reliable. Finally, ask if they use eco‑friendly products. Safe chemicals protect your health and the environment, and many landlords now prefer green cleaning methods.

Dandy Fox Cleaning Services checks all these boxes. We provide a full checklist, a deposit protection guarantee, and flexible appointments to fit your moving schedule. Our cleaners are trained to follow the exact standards most UK landlords expect, and we use low‑impact products whenever possible.

Here’s a quick tip from our blog: schedule the clean for the day after you move your furniture out. This gives cleaners full access to every corner and speeds up the job. If you’re on a tight budget, you can ask the service to focus on high‑impact areas like kitchens and bathrooms while you handle the rest.

When you book with us, you’ll get a confirmation email that lists every task we’ll perform. This transparency helps you verify the work and gives you confidence that nothing is being missed. If you have special requests – such as extra attention to pet hair or stubborn stains – just let us know ahead of time.

Remember, a clean home makes the handover smoother, reduces the chance of disputes, and can even improve the final condition report. That means a higher chance of getting every penny of your deposit back.
