What’s Included in a Deep End of Tenancy Clean?
The day you move out, everything feels like a whirlwind. Boxes are stacked by the door, your back aches from packing, and somewhere between sorting your Wi-Fi disconnection and chasing your new keys, you remember, the clean-up.
Not just any clean-up. We’re talking about the dreaded end of tenancy clean. The one your landlord will inspect with an invisible magnifying glass. The one that could make or break your deposit.
At Hillgate Cleaning Services, we’ve seen it all. From coffee stains behind radiators to spaghetti sauce on kitchen ceilings. And we know exactly what it takes to turn a “you’ll hear from my solicitor” into “thank you, here’s your full deposit.”
So, what’s really included in a deep end of tenancy clean?
Let’s rewind to a real story. Michael, a tenant in Stockport, called us two days before his move-out. His nerves were fried. His landlord was notoriously meticulous, and Michael feared the worst. We stepped in, rolled up our sleeves, and got to work.
We began in the kitchen, scrubbing every inch of the oven until it gleamed like a showroom piece. The cupboards, inside, outside, and on top, were wiped down, sanitised, and left sparkling. The fridge? Defrosted, deodorised, and spotless.
We deep-cleaned the floors, buffed tiles, and polished stainless steel.
Next, the bathrooms. Every inch of tile was scrubbed, including grout lines. Showers and baths were descaled, mirrors wiped until flawless, and toilets sanitised to hotel standards. The air didn’t just smell clean, it felt pure.
Living spaces and bedrooms came next. Skirting boards, window sills, door frames, all the places tenants forget, were tackled. We vacuumed every corner, mopped floors, and wiped furniture surfaces, even the ones hidden behind curtains or wardrobes.
Michael returned just as we finished. His eyes widened. “This is better than when I moved in,” he laughed.
Two days later, he texted us: “Full deposit refunded. You guys saved me!”
And that’s what a true end of tenancy clean looks like. It’s not just about removing dirt. It’s about restoring peace of mind. It’s about helping you close one chapter without the mess spilling into the next.
If you’re preparing to move, don’t gamble your deposit.
Let Hillgate Cleaning Services make your exit seamless, stress-free, and spotless.
