Deposit disputes are one of the most common problems London renters face, and cleaning is the number one reason deductions are made. The good news is that most of them are completely avoidable.

Kitchen

Clean the oven inside and out, including racks and the glass door. Defrost and wipe the fridge and freezer, degrease the extractor hood and wipe inside every cupboard and drawer.

Bathrooms

Descale taps, shower heads and screens. Scrub grout, clean behind the toilet and polish all mirrors and chrome.

Throughout the property

Wipe skirting boards, door frames, light switches and sockets. Clean inside windows and sills, vacuum carpets thoroughly and mop all hard floors.

Book early

The last week of the month is the busiest time for end of tenancy cleans in London. Book at least a week in advance to secure your preferred date.
