Moving out is stressful enough without losing part of your security deposit over cleaning. Landlords and property managers usually check the same places first, and they're the places that are easiest to miss when you're packing.
In the kitchen: inside the oven and microwave, inside the fridge and freezer, the stovetop and range hood, and inside every cabinet and drawer. Grease and crumbs collect in spots you stop noticing after living somewhere for a while.
In the bathroom: soap scum on the tub and shower, the grout lines, the toilet base, mirrors, and the inside of the vanity. Hard water stains on fixtures are another common deduction.
Throughout the unit: baseboards, door frames, light switches, window sills and tracks, closet shelves, and the floors. Carpet is a big one. Many leases require professional carpet cleaning at move-out, so keep the receipt.
Juan Cleaning Services handles move-in and move-out deep cleaning for apartments and houses, with carpet steam cleaning available in the same visit. We're open 24/7, so we can work around tight lease deadlines. Landlords and property managers can book us for regular turnover cleaning too.
