Why it happens
Reviews are lost on a small, predictable set of things: bathroom detail, bed linen, kitchen smells and anything a previous guest left behind. Those are the items a rushed turnaround drops first.
What to do about it
Build the turnaround as a fixed sequence with a hard finish time.
- Strip and reset beds first so laundry timing never becomes the bottleneck
- Bathrooms get the most time — descaled, sanitised and dried, not just wiped
- Check every drawer, wardrobe and under every bed for left items
- Deal with kitchen odour sources: bin, fridge, sink waste and hob
- Reset consumables and presentation last, so nothing is disturbed afterwards
- Photograph the finished property as your record against damage claims
The mistake to avoid
Do not schedule a changeover with no buffer. One late check-out with no slack turns into a bad review that stays on the listing.
How we handle it
Our end of tenancy cleans are built around the inventory checklist letting agents and landlords actually use. We work top-to-bottom, room-by-room, so the property is handed over in re-let condition — every appliance degreased, every skirting wiped, every carpet vacuumed.
- Alkaline degreasers on ovens and extractors
- Acid limescale removers on sanitaryware
- Steam on grout and silicone
- Neutral pH on wood and laminate
- HEPA vacuums for skirtings and radiator backs
