End of Tenancy Cleaning – 7 Mistakes to Avoid | Page 2

Moving
out of
the
home you’ve been renting could be quite stressful. You have to pack all your belongings, ensure
transportation and bring them to the new place. On top of that, it is time for the big end of tenancy
cleaning. It is a lot like a regular spring cleaning, but much more serious than that. After all, your
security deposit depends on it. If you don’t clean well, you don’t get your money back. That’s the deal.
Here is a list of seven common mistakes you
should avoid during this challenge.
1. Wrong Cleaning Tools and Solutions
Different surfaces should be treated with suitable
tools and solutions. For example, avoid using
abrasive cleaners on the bath tub, wood or other
sensitive surfaces. They will leave scratch marks,
which means you have damaged the property.
Instead, use scrubber sponges to clean the grill or
the bottom of cooking pots.
2. Wrong Amounts
Many people are under the illusion that
more solution would result in better
cleaning. In fact, it is quite possible that
they will achieve the opposite effect. Too
much solution will make the surfaces
sticky and hard to wash. In addition, it
might damage more sensitive materials.
Search for the right amount indicated on
each container and apply no more than the
necessary.
