Move Out Cleaning Services in Singapore

Professional Move-Out Cleaning Services in Singapore By Eunike Living

Your apartment rental lease is soon running out, and you know you have to get your house professionally cleaned before returning the apartment to the owner. The rental lease agreement typically states that the apartment should be professionally cleaned, including the curtains, before handing back the apartment. Failing, the owner would engage their cleaner and deduct the cleaning fees from the rental deposit.

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 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 backward when to get the apartment and curtains cleaned.

Sometimes, it is wrongly assumed that move-out cleaning in Singapore services is just like 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 than attempting to clean the apartment yourself or engaging independent cleaners to do that for you.

What are Move-Out Cleaning Services in Singapore?

Move-out cleaning in Singapore is sometimes called End-Tenancy cleaning or Post-Move cleaning. It is a deep cleaning required to restore the state of cleanliness when you first move 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, and electrical appliances such as ovens, fridges, washing machines, etc.

The interior and exterior 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 and 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 in Singapore

Suppose a tenant leaves the property in an unclean and unsatisfactory state. In that case, the landlord may take legal action against the tenant. A well-executed move-out cleaning can help tenants avoid legal issues and ensure a smooth transition. Sometimes, it requires using special chemicals to remove tough stains in toilet bowls and toilet floors. It may also involve using a machine scrubber to clean a really stained and dirty floor. 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, detailed, and much wider-ranging than normal house cleaning. You should engage professionals to do that to ensure the apartment is properly cleaned for a fuss-free handover.
