Once upon a time, when I was still living on rent, I also thought that my walls were clean and didn’t need maintenance, but as time passes these parts of the room become darker, they change their colour because tiny dust particles stick to them. If you think I’m wrong, just rub a corner of a wall in your rented property with a damp sponge, and see how it will become lighter.
Anyway, here are a few wall cleaning tips from move out cleaners from London:
- First of all, prepare your wall cleaner. Mix two cups white vinegar with four cups warm water and add twenty drops eucalyptus or tea tree essential oil. Combine the ingredients in a big container and use a sponge to apply the mixture to the wall. I recommend that you start working from the top-down on every wall, so to keep the cleaned areas clean. It is also important to cover one small area at a time and to use only up-down motions. Otherwise, you will leave traces on the walls.
- End of tenancy cleaning London experts recommend that you fill another container with warm water only and to keep it close to you, so that you can wipe the solution off the wall after you apply it. Use a clean cloth for the purpose, and wash it from time to time when it becomes too dirty.
This is the easiest way to clean your walls, so don’t even think about using commercial cleaners. They will make your task a lot harder.

A lot of people skip the end of lease cleaning process, because they don’t have time to deal with cleaning. I absolutely understand them because I know how much time some of the chores take. Here is a short list from a move out cleaning London expert with the most time-consuming chores:
Carpet cleaning – this is undoubtedly the hardest cleaning task, and the one that takes time the most. One has a lot of work, as far as carpet cleaning is concerned. He/she has to: vacuum the flooring; remove the pet hair, if he/she has a cat or a dog; clean the rug with a solution or detergent thoroughly; remove the stains with proper cleaners; and dry and deodorise the flooring. This whole process might take up to two days.
Oven cleaning – if you choose to clean the oven with commercial cleaners, you might spend two or three hours rubbing and scrubbing. But if you decide to clean the appliance with a paste made of one cup baking soda, one tablespoon salt and half cup vinegar, then you will need not more than an hour and a half.
Bathroom cleaning – this can be a very difficult chore, especially if you have bathroom furniture, and lots of accessories and shelves on the walls. According to end of tenancy cleaners from London it can take you a whole day to freshen up everything in this room. That is why I have always preferred to keep my bathroom as simple as possible.
No matter how much time and efforts the above chores require, they must be accomplished if one wants to get his rental deposit back.

The carpet is the piece of furniture which requires the most attention at the end of tenancy. It is usually the most expensive piece of furniture in a lodging, and if the landlord finds it stained or damaged he will definitely keep the rental deposit of the tenant. So, if your time to move out has come, don’t stop reading.
Although carpet cleaning is a tough task, it doesn’t have to be done with strong detergents. You can use different combinations of natural products, such as vinegar and baking soda, to refresh and clean your flooring. Here are 3 green carpet cleaning techniques, which I learned from a move out cleaning specialist in London:
- If you have a pet urine stain on your carpet, pour it with white vinegar and blot with a clean towel. Repeat the procedure until the discolouration disappears.
- If the rug in your lodging smells bad, do not panic or wonder what to do. Take a box of bicarbonate of soda and sprinkle it all over the carpet. Leave it for a night, so that it can absorb the bad odour, and vacuum in the morning. If you don’t have baking soda, you can use cornstarch, too. And if you want to deodorise your flooring even better, then mix the bicarb or cornstarch with some potpourri, they will add a pleasant floral aroma to your carpet.
- If you have red whine stains on your carpet, do not use commercial products to remove them, as they might discolour the flooring. Pour some white wine over the spot and blot with a clean towel, you have to repeat the process until the discolouration is completely removed.
These three green carpet cleaning techniques are only a small part of the tips of move out cleaning specialists. Follow our blog for more useful and eco-friendly solutions!

Have you ever wondered which are the dirtiest places in your lodging? Do you know where you will find the most dirt at the end of your tenancy? Read on to find out.
As a professional move out cleaning company, Post Tenancy Cleaning London has encountered all kinds of disgusting cleaning issues. They’ve seen things you won’t even want to hear about, and dealt with cleaning problems that a normal person cannot fix on his own. Here are the three dirtiest places in every lodging according to them:
- Most people probably think that the toilet bowl is one of these places. Well, it is not, but the area behind it is. Have you ever looked what’s behind your toilet bowl? The picture is quite horrifying – hair, grout, sometimes mould and mildew, absolutely disgusting.
- Under the sofa – almost no one cleans under the sofa, and sometimes quite unusual things, like a slice of pizza, happen to be there. Imagine what happens when a slice of pizza or some other piece of food remains under your couch for about a week or more, your lodging will smell like dead meat for weeks after you move out, if you don’t use professional post tenancy cleaning London services at the end of your tenancy.
- Behind the fridge – I still haven’t met a person who cleans the area behind his fridge, and it gathers a lot of dirt, hair and cobwebs. Domestic spiders love to knit their nets behind the refrigerator as this area is very warm. And cobwebs are like magnet for dust particles, hair and dirt.
So, at the end of your tenancy, when you start with the move out cleaning, do not forget to clean these places, too. Your landlord will surely check them.
