Cleaning Your Student House at the end of your Tenancy

At the end of your tenancy you need to hand over the property in a clean and fit state to re let. Follow this

guide to help you get your deposit back quickly and intact

General tips

Clean from top to bottom. That is start at the top of the room, clean, dust vacuum last. It is no good

cleaning the lower cupboards in your kitchen and then the upper ones spilling the contents on the ones

you’ve just cleaned.

You will find it much harder to clean a room if it is still full of your stuff. It is best the take your

possessions out and then clean the room.

CAUTION: mixing cleaning products and compounds is dangerous and can cause noxious fumes. Always

read the label and when using cleaning products open windows to ensure plenty of ventilation. Never mix
