Final Cleaning

When you are moving out, the apartment must be cleaned. You can do some of the cleaning before the moving so you don’t have to do everything on the moving day. When the apartment is clean and the keys are returned, the rent deposit (one months rent) will be returned to your account shortly.

NB! Without proper cleaning or if there is something wrong in the condition of the apartment, the repair costs will be taken from the deposit fee before returning it to your account.

Kitchen:

  • Melt and clean (with dishwashing liquid) the fridge and the freezer. Remember to remove the plug. Don’t let them melt without supervision!  
  • Wash the oven and the stove.
  • Clean the cooker hood both inside and outside. 
  • Clean the tables, the sink and the cupboards with cloth.
  • Clean the garbage cabinet and waste container.

Toilet:

In general:

  • Vacuum and wash the floors. Do not use lot of water for wood or laminate floors!
