Moving out of a rental can be a stressful process, with packing, scheduling movers, and making sure everything is in order. One critical aspect of moving out, often overlooked in the hustle and bustle, is thoroughly cleaning the property to ensure that you receive your security deposit back in full. Unfortunately, many renters miss key areas during their move-out cleaning, which can result in additional fees or deductions from their deposit.
To help you avoid this common issue, we’ve highlighted the top five areas renters forget to clean during move-out, and we’ll explain how Andora Cleaning in Fort Collins ensures that no corner is left untouched when you hire our move-out cleaning services.
- Baseboards and Trim
It’s easy to forget about baseboards and trim since they’re not in your direct line of sight on a day-to-day basis. However, these areas tend to accumulate a lot of dust, dirt, and scuff marks over time. When baseboards are left uncleaned, they can leave a negative impression on landlords or property managers during the final inspection.
Andora Cleaning takes care to thoroughly clean baseboards and trim, removing built-up grime and ensuring they look fresh and well-maintained. Our professional team ensures even these often-overlooked areas are spotless, helping you make a good impression during your move-out.
- Inside Cabinets and Drawers
Many renters focus on cleaning the surfaces of their kitchen and bathroom areas but forget to look inside cabinets and drawers. Over time, crumbs, dust, and spills can accumulate in these spaces. Leaving them uncleaned can lead to deductions from your deposit, especially if the property manager does a detailed inspection.
Our team at Andora Cleaning ensures that the interiors of all cabinets and drawers are cleaned out completely. We take the extra step of wiping down every nook and cranny, so there’s no trace of food residue or dust when you hand over the keys.
- Light Fixtures and Ceiling Fans
Light fixtures and ceiling fans are areas that most people tend to overlook, especially during routine cleaning. Dust and dirt can build up on ceiling fan blades and inside light fixtures, resulting in a dull appearance or even affecting the brightness of the room. When moving out, leaving these areas uncleaned can stand out to property managers, potentially leading to complaints or fees.
Andora Cleaning makes sure that all light fixtures and ceiling fans are thoroughly cleaned. We carefully wipe down fan blades, remove dust from inside light fixtures, and clean bulbs and covers to ensure they’re as bright and dust-free as the day you moved in.
- Behind Appliances
Cleaning your kitchen might be part of your regular routine, but it’s easy to forget about the hidden areas behind large appliances like the refrigerator, oven, and dishwasher. Over time, these areas can collect grease, crumbs, and dust, which can become a breeding ground for pests and make the kitchen feel less clean.
When you hire Andora Cleaning for move-out services, we don’t stop at surface cleaning. Our team moves appliances, where possible, to clean behind them, ensuring that no hidden grime is left behind. By addressing these overlooked spaces, we help ensure that your kitchen is left in pristine condition for the next tenant or for inspection.
- Window Sills and Tracks
While cleaning windows is often on a renter’s move-out checklist, many people forget about the window sills and tracks. These areas can collect dirt, dust, and even dead bugs, which can make them look unsightly if left uncleaned. Windows that aren’t maintained can give the impression of neglect, leading to deductions from your deposit.
Andora Cleaning focuses on every detail, including window sills and tracks. We carefully remove dirt, dust, and debris, ensuring that the windows are not only clean on the glass but also in the areas around them. This attention to detail helps give the entire home a polished, well-kept appearance.
