After packing all your possessions into the truck, your next goal is to pass the landlord's inspection so that you can retrieve your security deposit. Well, keep your eyes on price - here are a few tips to help you deal with the cleaning challenges.
Review the requirements
In order to create a systematic and effective cleaning plan, you need to identify the requirements of your landlord. After reviewing the requirements, you may start collecting tools and solutions to get the job done. Your cleaning tools include vacuum, mop, sponges, towels, rags, bleach, paint rollers and soap.
Clean, clean clean
Here comes the hardest part - the actual cleaning! Well, it does not have to be that scary. Remember, everything depends on how you look at things. Think of this is the last chore you have to do in your old flat. Begin with the hard-to-clean areas such as the bathroom, kitchen and windows as it will take time to clean them.
Dust off
Start with a dry dust then a wet dust. This keeps you from making morsels of dust which leave ugly marks on the surface. After giving the furniture and appliances a good dusting, finish off by spraying some sort of wax or polish to make it shine.
Almost there!
Yes, you are almost ready to move out. All that's left is to take the garbage out and vacuum the floor. Don't forget to reward yourself afterwards - grab a nice dessert, take a bubble bath or sleep all day tomorrow. After all, you worked hard for it.
