Choosing the right Professional cleaning company, what to look out for, and what should be provided?
Are you looking for a cleaning company you can trust? One that can provide you with the cleaning service you deserve? Isn’t everyone looking for this? We’ll help you determine which cleaning companies are worth your money and time. So what are the things to look for when choosing a professional end-of-tenancy cleaning company?
When searching for the best end-of-lease cleaners, it’s always important to do some of your research before deciding. Professional cleaning companies should always openly have their work on show on their websites or readily available when asked for before and after pictures of their past successful cleaning procedures for new customers to view.
They should have these for each service:
- End of Tenancy Deep Cleaning
- Steam Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning
- Removal of Stains from carpets and upholstery
- External windows and so on.
You may find before and after pictures of toilets, ovens and areas that are usually trouble areas. Trouble areas typically cause the most problems when trying to get the clean, high-use rooms and high-traffic areas in the case of carpets. As well as showing their work, they should have spaces that explain how they perform all of their cleaning and a little about their heritage.
When did their company become well known, and how did it start? How long have they been providing tenancy cleaning services? You will also need to check whether their professional cleaning team is fully insured.
Fully insured cleaners ensure that if any damages occur during the cleaning, cleans are responsible for fixing them. This is an essential factor to look for. If the cleaners are not fully insured, then any damages will not be covered by the cleaning company, meaning that you will have to repair any damages that might happen during the cleaning.
Now nearly all professional cleaning companies will have insurance. It’s the best way of telling which cleaning companies are legitimate and trustworthy. You should always call the cleaning company central office and speak to the office team, here you will be able to ask any questions you may have about the service that they are offering, take if there are any hidden charges make sure that the final price they give you covers everything you require, some companies charge extra for certain additional services.
Additional bathrooms, window cleaning or even oven cleaning can come at an additional cost. You won’t have to worry about this when booking with us as we included a complete top-to-bottom clean for your property in our End-of-tenancy cleaning service. We are confident that we can always offer the best end-of-tenancy cleaning service in and around London.
The staff should always be willing to provide end-of-tenancy cleaning tips. Any end-of-tenancy cleaning tips they think you may find useful, always present themselves as friendly and helpful. End-of-tenancy cleaning services are very commonly used for rental properties.
When a tenant decides to leave, they need to ensure that the property is in a pristine state of cleanliness to receive all necessary deposits back. This should be top of the cleaning companies’ list when performing cleaning in your home. The end goal should always be that you, the tenant or the landlord can offer that deposit back in full.
Some cleaning companies (like us) provide a guarantee for this. If the property isn’t clean enough on the final inspection and the landlord or tenant isn’t happy, we will return free of charge and re-clean the problem areas. This is something that a trustworthy professional cleaning company should have the confidence to offer.
Once the cleaning has been completed, the landlord will come and conduct the final inspection. This will include a final cleaning checklist. This is to ensure that no areas have been missed. You can print your final list from the internet to check the cleaning yourself before the cleaners leave. If you can check the cleaning yourself, this can avoid any issues with the landlord later.
So we’ve discussed what you should look out for when trying to find the perfect professional cleaning team. Now let’s discuss what you should expect from an end-of-tenancy cleaning service. An end-of-tenancy cleaning service will include cleaning the entire property; this is every surface from top to bottom.
The cleaning team should explain to you before they arrive what is included and what isn’t. Usually, the only thing that won’t be included in cleaning walls and ceilings, the main reason for this is not to cause any damage to the wall surface and paintwork. These two areas will simply be dusted and cobwebs removed.
Some additional extras may incur some additional charges. Some companies may include these areas; however, remember that sometimes the cheapest option may not be the most thorough. We offer these other services at a small additional cost. This allows us to be able to provide the best possible cleaning using the best possible products.
Some of the different cleaning services include Exterior window cleaning, Steam Carpet and upholstery cleaning, Patio and driveway jet washing and many more. You will find that most of the exterior services will come at an additional cost. This is because the end-of-tenancy cleaning service is only required to cover the property’s interior.
Cleaning of the interior of the property will include all surfaces of furniture, sideboards and so on, all light fittings, light shades, light switches, all plug sockets, skirting boards, picture rails, doors, door handles and door frames, sofas and upholstery will be vacuumed, as well as carpets.
All cupboards inside and out will be dusted, disinfected and wiped clean. All appliances will be cleaned and disinfected inside and out. This includes Toasters, kettles, washing machines, ovens, dishwashers, and oven extractor fans.
Bathrooms will be cleaned inside and out of the toilet, sink and bath/ shower. Shower heads will be descaled and shined/polished. Shower screens will be polished, and all watermarks will be removed. No limescale will be left in the bathroom area, and everything, including mirrors, sills, and interior windows, will be cleaned in all property rooms.
Bannisters, decorative items and rubbish bins will be cleaned and emptied; the waste will be disposed of correctly. Every inch of the property should be disinfected and cleaned. There is no excuse for areas to be missed; this is why an end-of-tenancy checklist is provided.
All cleaning companies should be willing to ensure that the whole property has been cleaned thoroughly. Once you have found the perfect cleaning company, you will realize that you never have to look for another company again.
We pride ourselves on the truth that we can deliver the best cleaning you will ever need in your home. We can’t promise that once you’ve used us as a cleaning company, you will never want to look for another cleaning company, and we hope that you spread the word as this is how we grow as a business.
