Everybody wants to live in a tidy and clean environment. While living or working in a rented apartment or office, cleaning up after a while should be the norm. Sometimes you are even required to maintain a general hygiene level, but most of the time, people keep their immediate surroundings clean. When leaving your office and moving to a different one, there’s one more task you still need to do. And that’s to leave it in the same state as when you first moved in. Here are some tips to make the job easier.
1. Check the checklist
Start by taking a piece of paper and making an item “Make a checklist.”, and check it! You’re good to go from that point and continue planning your actions. Having a plan in your head is great, but making a checklist will materialise that plan for the future. When cleaning starts, it will get hectic. Having anything to fall back on can be a lifesaver. Start with your top rooms and work downwards or with the back rooms and clean to the entrance. Mark any repair that might need doing, each window, the garbage, carpet, mat and rug. Your checklist is without a character limit, so make as many items as you wish.
2. Inspect the nooks and crannies
The devil is in the details, and your seemingly perfect cleaning job can fall apart when inspections start poking for any minor misses. One by one, these seemingly insignificant oversights stack up and can ruin your overall performance. In areas where rooms transition from one another or use hybrid flooring, you must use different cleaning methods and look for hidden dirt under the rug. Once you remove it and send it to cleaning, then you can clean it under. You also need to move or lift couches and furniture, to sweep all those lost pennies and pens from below.
3. Repair first, clean second
When going thru your checklist, repairs should be high up. Cleaning anything and then having to clean again because an appliance gets back from repairs makes no sense. When people try to tackle the end-of-lease cleaning on their own, they usually fall into such common pitfalls and create double work. The time, money and energy lost are awful, but certainly less than reaching out to experienced and best end-of-lease cleaning from Melbourne, which can get the job done in no time. Keep in mind that any oversight or faults you make at the end of your lease can cost you extra. But when you have a helping hand by your side, you eliminate any chances of your last days going bad.
4. All mats matter
Carpets, mats, covers, drapes, curtains, shades, and anything used to cover or decorate a surface, must be washed and returned. You may think something minor, like an entrance mat, is unimportant, but a clean picture is composed as a mosaic, from all the little pieces that cleanly fit together.
All items from the list can hold a lot of dirt and foul smells. Cleaning and making them fresh will rejuvenate any room they’re in and create an impressive first impression. It is hard to find fault and to search for dirty spots in a fragrant room, with clean rugs under your feet.
5 Never forget the drains and ACs
Think of drains and ACs as mediums that collect and accumulate dirt (and other disgusting things). You may not see it, but deep down they are working hard to keep the place clean. If you’ve ever cleaned a bathroom, sometimes you can’t get the smell out and that’s because it’s in the drains. Hairs and debris can prevent foul smells from going down, so you need to hourly unclogging and rinsing them. Replace or clean your AC filters to keep the air inside the office fresh! Battling foul smells is equally as important as dirt!
Clean and sweep, vacuum and collect, rinse and repeat. These are the general motions thru which you’ll go, but it gets easier if you have a helping hand at your side. Fulfilling your contract obligations and getting peace of mind when moving to a new office is a priceless feeling. One we know you’ll experience with ease each time!
