What's included?
A full deep clean to checkout standard: kitchen inside and out (including oven and appliances), bathrooms descaled, all floors, skirtings, doors, switches, inside windows and inside cupboards and wardrobes.
Carpet cleaning is usually quoted separately — check whether your tenancy agreement requires it.
How to protect your deposit
Take dated photos after the clean. Keep the receipt or invoice — agents often ask for proof of a professional clean, and it's the single easiest thing to evidence at checkout.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a professional clean to get my deposit back?+
Your agreement can't legally demand a professional clean, but it can require the property be returned in the same cleanliness as at check-in. A professional clean with a receipt is the simplest way to prove that.
Should the property be empty first?+
Yes — clear all belongings out first. Cleaners can't do skirtings, inside cupboards or floors properly around furniture and boxes.
