Moving out is busy enough without worrying about your deposit. Most landlords and property managers walk through the home after you leave, and the areas they check are the ones that are easy to forget while packing. Here is what a proper move-out clean covers.
Kitchen: clean inside every cabinet and drawer, wipe down cabinet fronts and handles, clean the backsplash and counters, scrub the sink, and clean the stovetop, oven, microwave, dishwasher and refrigerator — inside and out. Do not forget the top of the refrigerator and the range hood.
Bathrooms: scrub the toilet, tub, shower and tile, remove soap scum and hard-water spots, clean inside the vanity and medicine cabinet, polish mirrors and fixtures, and wipe the exhaust fan cover.
Every room: wipe baseboards, door frames, doors and light switches, clean inside closets, wipe window sills and tracks, remove marks where you can, and vacuum and mop every floor — including under where furniture used to sit.
Timing matters too. The best time to clean is after everything is out of the home, so nothing blocks floors, closets or cabinets. Schedule the cleaning for your last day, or the day after your movers leave.
