Hire End-of-Lease Cleaners to Secure Deposit Return

Cost Savings

Checklist Tasks

• Request your lease’s cleaning list to match company services and avoid disputes.
• Obtain a written quote itemizing rooms and extras to prevent surprise fees.
• Verify company insurance and bonding to avoid liability for property damage.
• Confirm use of non-abrasive products on surfaces to prevent finish damage.
• Schedule cleaning after moving out to prevent missed spots and clutter charges.
• Request before-and-after photos as proof for your deposit claim and landlord review.
• Check if oven, fridge, and cabinet interiors are included to meet inspection points.
• Clarify if window tracks, blinds, and baseboards are covered per your lease.
• Ask about pet odor or stain treatments to avoid deductions for missed specialty cleaning.
• Confirm the re-clean policy so you avoid double charges if landlord finds missed areas.
• Ensure all trash and residue are removed to maintain your ‘professionally cleaned’ claim.
• Collect a signed certificate or invoice stating ‘end-of-lease cleaning’ for your records.
