Helpful Hints For End Of Lease Cleaning Brisbane Landlords Will Approve

By Jennifer Lee


When you walk through an apartment or house you intend to rent, it should be immaculate. The landlord will charge you a significant security deposit. When you move, the landlord will expect the premises to be as immaculate as when you moved in. If it is not, you probably won't get all, or any, of your deposit refunded. The better you are at the end of lease cleaning Brisbane landlords expect, the more likely you are to get a total refund.

There are jobs that can be done a couple weeks in advance, like having the carpets shampooed and the hardwoods polished. Some will argue that you will mess up the flooring by cleaning it early, but that doesn't have to be the case. You will need to be careful and walk around your house in bare feet or socks, but this is one project you can cross off your list at the start.

It's easy for appliances, floors, and counter tops to look well used. Cleaning the oven can be a real chore if you don't have a self-cleaning one. Instead of using those cleaners that send out noxious fumes, you can mix water and baking soda into a paste. Apply it to the oven interior and leave overnight. Lift up the range top and clean under it. Change the filters.

Everybody knows to clean the toilet, sink and tub, but don't forget to clean the shower door. A paste made of vinegar and baking soda will remove mineral deposits. You can clean the shower head by placing a bag filled with vinegar over it and leaving it overnight. Moldy grout can be cleaned with bleach and an old toothbrush. If you've got cabinets under the sink, be sure to wipe them out.

You need to remove any marks that are on the walls and fill nail holes you might have made when hanging pictures. The wall scuffs can be removed using sugar soap and a rag. You have to vacuum out the tracks that doors and windows slide on. Move whatever appliances you can and clean behind them.

If the lawn is your responsibility, mowing, edging, and trimming will be necessary before you leave. You will have to clean all your patios and balconies. Concrete floors will probably need bleach, water, and a mop. Oil and other stubborn stains may not come up without a wire brush.

With all you have to do, you might be tempted to give your house or apartment just a cursory cleaning. This is probably a mistake. Not only will you lose your security deposit, you will get a poor rating from your landlord. It can hurt your reputation and cost you money with the next landlord you have.

A lot of people like to rent. They do not want the responsibility of upkeep, repairs, and liability. You may not have those responsibilities, but you are accountable for the way you maintain and leave the property.
