If you rent a house, but it's time for you to move out, then you should clean this house well.
When you live somewhere for a while, you can become less attentive to detail, so you can ignore lots of dust and dirty areas.
Here are a few tips on how to clean your rented house so well that the owner will be satisfied.
Start with Decluttering
Remove any personal belongings or trash left behind. Dispose of any items you no longer need or want.
This will make it easier to clean the house thoroughly.
Dusting and Wiping Surfaces
Dust all the surfaces, including shelves, countertops, and furniture. Use a damp cloth or appropriate cleaning solution to wipe away dirt, stains, or grime.
Pay attention to corners, edges, and hard-to-reach areas.
Clean Appliances and Fixtures
Clean the kitchen appliances, such as the refrigerator, oven, microwave, and stovetop. Wipe down the surfaces and remove any food residues.
Clean the bathroom fixtures, including the sink, toilet, bathtub, and shower. Use appropriate cleaning products and scrub as needed.
Vacuum and Mop Floors
Vacuum or sweep the floors to remove dust, dirt, and debris. Pay attention to corners and under furniture.
Then, mop the floors using a suitable cleaning solution to remove any remaining dirt or stains.
Wash Windows and Mirrors
Clean the windows and mirrors using a glass cleaner or a mixture of water and vinegar.
Wipe them dry with a clean cloth or paper towels to avoid streaks.
Check for Stains and Repairs
Inspect the walls, carpets, and other surfaces for any stains or damages.
If there are stains that cannot be removed with regular cleaning, consider spot cleaning or seeking professional help.
Repair any damages if required, following the terms of your rental agreement.
Empty and Clean Cabinets and Drawers
Empty the cabinets and drawers in the kitchen and bathroom, wiping them clean of any dirt or spills.
Ensure they are free of any personal items or debris.
