MOVE OUT OR END TENANCY CLEANING SERVICES
MOVE OUT OR END TENANCY CLEANING SERVICES
There are lots of things to take care of when you are moving out of an apartment to relocate to another which could be to another country. So, planning for your move out clean is important. Start early and engage the owner or the owner’s property agent to get a better understanding of their expectation such as cleaning of curtains. Is steam cleaning of the curtains good enough or do they require the curtains to be dried clean. Also agree on the handover date so you can plan backwards when to get the apartment and curtains cleaned.
Sometimes it is wrongly assumed that move out cleaning is just like a regular house cleaning which is general wiping and mopping of surfaces. However, move out or end tenancy cleaning is much more than that. To ensure you can successfully hand over the apartment when the lease is up and not risk your rental deposit being deducted by the owner for cleaning fees, it is highly recommended to engage a professional cleaning company to provide the move out cleaning services rather that attempting to clean the apartment yourself or engaging independent cleaners to do that for you.
What is Move out Cleaning?
Move out cleaning is sometimes called End Tenancy cleaning or Post Move cleaning. It is a deep cleaning that is required to bring it back to the state of cleanliness when you first moved into the rented apartment.
Usually when you engage a cleaning company, they will send a team of experienced cleaners with the appropriate cleaning supplies such as ladders, degreasers etc. It is a top to bottom cleaning covering almost all surfaces in the apartment including ceiling lights and fans, windows, window frames, electrical appliances such as ovens, fridge, washing machine etc. The interior and exterior of surfaces of cupboards and cabinets need to be wiped clean as well. Oily and greasy surfaces in the kitchen such as the cooker hob and hood, kitchen cabinets need to be degreased. For landed properties, it may involve waterjet cleaning of the exterior of the house.
Why Move Out Cleaning Services Important
If a tenant leaves the property in an unclean and unsatisfactory state, the landlord may take legal action against the tenant. A well-executed move-out cleaning can help tenants avoid legal issues and ensure they have a smooth transition. Sometimes it requires using special chemicals to remove tough stains in toilet bowls and on toilet floors. It may also involve using a machine scrubber to clean floor that is really stained and dirty.
Overall, moving out cleaning is important in Singapore to ensure that tenants can leave the property in a clean and satisfactory condition, avoiding any potential issues with the landlord and ensuring a smooth transition.
One of the toughest and biggest challenges when doing a Post Move
cleaning is removing oil stains in the kitchen, especially the cooker
hood and hob which had not been regularly cleaned. The oil stains that
had accumulated over time cannot be removed with a general cleaning
solution. It requires an effective degreaser solution to loosen the
grease stains and then scrubbing with a good cleaning solution. This
process may need to be repeated if there are still some residual oil
stains.
In summary, a Move Out clean is more demanding, more detailed and a much wider scope that normal house cleaning. You should engage professionals to do that to ensure the apartment is properly cleaned for a fuss-free handover.

Reasons Why Move-out Cleaning So important for Tenant
- Getting Your Full Deposit Back: Most landlords in Singapore require a security deposit to be paid at the start of a tenancy. To ensure that you get your full deposit back, the property must be returned in the same condition as when it was first rented. A professional move out cleaning service will ensure that the property is in a clean and tidy state, meeting the landlord’s requirements for the refund.
- Maintaining Good Relations: In Singapore, landlords and property managers are usually meticulous in ensuring that properties are well-maintained. A well-cleaned property can help tenants maintain a good relationship with their landlords. This can be especially important if tenants need a reference for future rentals.
- Attracting New Tenants: A clean and well-maintained property is more appealing to potential tenants. If tenants want to ensure that their property is quickly rented out after they move out, a professional move out cleaning will help improve the chances of finding new tenants.
If you’re moving out of a property in Singapore, don’t overlook the importance of a thorough move out cleaning. Contact a professional cleaning service today to ensure that your property is in the best possible condition for the next tenant.
