Move-out cleaning checklist
Move-out cleaning is easiest and most complete when it's done after the furniture leaves and before the new furniture arrives. Use this list room by room.
Before you start
Make sure electricity and water are on. If possible, plan the cleaning for when the home is fully empty — only then can cupboard insides and floor edges be done properly.
Kitchen
- Inside cupboards, shelves and doors
- Worktop, sink and taps
- Oven, hob and extractor hood (including filter)
- Inside the fridge and its seals (if empty)
- Grease on tiles and grout
Bathroom and WC
- Toilet, basin, shower / bath
- Limescale on taps and shower glass
- Tiles and grout
- Cabinet insides and mirror
Rooms and living room
- Inside built-in wardrobes
- Doors, handles and frames
- Socket and switch covers
- Skirting boards and floor edges
- Radiators
Windows, balcony and final check
- Inside and reachable outside windows, window ledges
- Balcony floor and railings
- Finally, mop all floors
- Take photos before handover (useful if you're a tenant)
When does professional help make sense?
Moving day is busy enough. If the home is large, has been empty for a long time or is dusty after renovation, leaving the move-out cleaning to a team saves time.
