Move clean essentials
Move-in and move-out cleans are more extensive than regular cleaning. They aim to make a property ready for new occupants by removing accumulated grime and addressing overlooked spots. Preparing properly helps cleaners be efficient and ensures you get the results you need.
Before the crew arrives
- Clear small items: Box up personal items, kitchenware, and décor so surfaces and cabinets are empty and accessible.
- Remove nails and wall hooks: Patch small holes where possible to allow for a smoother finish.
- Inform about appliances: Let the team know if any appliances stay and whether keys or manuals are available for safe cleaning.
- Note damage or stains: Point out stubborn marks, smoke damage, or water stains so technicians can allocate time and appropriate treatments.
Access and logistics
- Provide clear instructions for keys, gate codes, and parking.
- If carpets or furniture remain, indicate areas to prioritise or avoid.
- Schedule the clean after moving large items out to prevent re-soiling freshly cleaned areas.
Special considerations for landlords and tenants
Tenants wanting full deposit returns should focus on ovens, bathrooms, and floors—these are commonly inspected. Landlords preparing a property for new tenants should request deep cleaning of upholstery and carpets to remove previous occupants’ allergens and odours.
Post-clean walkthrough
Always do a walkthrough with the cleaning team to confirm all requested tasks are completed. This is the best moment to address touch-ups before handing over the property or moving in.
Proper preparation leads to more thorough, faster move cleans and fewer surprises on inspection day. Following these steps will make your transition in Pune smoother and ensure a welcoming, fresh space for new occupants.
