Moving out is enough work without scrubbing an oven at midnight. We do end of tenancy and move out cleans across Palmerston North and the Manawatu, with the price agreed before we start.
Ask for a priceIt is the whole house, empty, from the top down. The kitchen gets the most time, because that is where inspections look hardest. Inside the oven and rangehood, inside every cupboard and drawer, the splashback, the benchtops and the sink.
Bathrooms are descaled and scrubbed, including the shower glass, the grout and behind the toilet. Then the parts that get missed when you clean around furniture. Window tracks and sills, skirting boards, door frames, light switches, wardrobe shelves and the floors last of all.
In New Zealand a tenant has to leave the property reasonably clean and tidy. That is the standard, and it is worth knowing, because it is a lower bar than many people assume. It is also the bar a landlord or property manager checks against at the final inspection.
Reasonably clean still means the oven, the bathrooms and the floors need to stand up to someone looking closely. If you have the ingoing inspection report, send it with your enquiry. It tells us what the place looked like on day one, which is what it is being compared to.
The clean works best once the furniture and boxes are out. An empty house is faster to clean and nothing gets missed behind a couch. Tell us your move out date and the date the keys go back, and we will fit the clean between the two.
If the dates are tight, ring instead of sending the form. Short notice is common with tenancies and we will say straight away whether we can do it.
It depends on the size of the house, the number of bathrooms and the state of the oven. Tell us those three things and we will give you a price before any work starts.
The requirement is to leave the property reasonably clean and tidy. Many tenants choose a professional clean because it saves the last weekend of the move and makes the final inspection simpler.
Yes, if you can manage it. An empty house lets us reach every cupboard, wall and corner, and the result is better for it.
Yes. A move in clean is the same job done before your furniture arrives, so you start in a house you know is clean.
