The Hidden Pitfalls of Move-Out Cleaning - 7 Things You Forget (That Can Cost You Dearly)
So you’re moving. Congratulations! Or...sorry...It depends a bit on what it looks like behind your stove right now.
Move-out cleaning is a bit like going to the dentist; you know it has to be done, but you put it off until it can’t be delayed any longer. Just like with your teeth, there are areas in the home that you tend to 'miss' when cleaning. The problem? During move-out cleaning, it can lead to re-inspections and additional cleaning costs. Follow our list of common oversights and make sure you don't accidentally make one of them during your move-out cleaning.
7 Places Many Miss During Move-Out Cleaning
1. Behind the stove
Yes, the whole stove needs to be moved out. Floor, walls, and sides. What’s hiding there is rarely pretty but is a must during such a thorough cleaning.
2. Kitchen hood filter
Grease accumulates faster than you think. Make sure the filter is properly cleaned, not just "a little better".
3. Floor drain
The floor drain is a must during move-out cleaning. Gloves are recommended for both hygienic and mental reasons.
4. Oven trays and racks
“A little brown” is not sufficient during move-out cleaning. Soak and clean thoroughly.
5. Behind the radiators
Dust accumulates here over time. Inspection personnel often check these spots.
6. Vents
Remove and clean the grills. Particularly important in kitchens and bathrooms.
7. Holes in the walls
Condominium: almost always fill. Rental: small holes may sometimes be accepted, but larger fixings need to be addressed.
Why Many Regret Doing Everything Themselves
If you miss something, the buyer or landlord can require additional cleaning. Then it's not you who chooses the company or the price. It can therefore be an unnecessarily expensive conclusion to the move.
