Checklist

End of Tenancy Cleaning checklist

Use this checklist to brief whoever is doing the work, or to inspect it afterwards. It is the same list our teams work from, and the last section covers the spots that get skipped most often.

  • Tops of doors and door frames
  • Extractor grilles and vent covers
  • Radiator backs and valves

What each surface needs

Matching chemistry to surface is what protects finishes. This is what we reach for and why.

  • HEPA vacuums for skirtings and radiator backs
