# What Should You Clean Before Moving Out?
Greetings from your new house! It can be heavenly to have a new set of keys to tote around, but hold off on your celebration just yet. This important accomplishment requires extensive work and planning. And by packing and unpacking, we also mean that cleaning the former house is essential.

There's a good possibility that the landlord gave the majority of tenants a cleaning schedule before they moved in. And they'll have to confirm that they crossed everything off that list in order to get their security deposit refunded and stay clear of any overdue fines.

The majority of people mistakenly believe that a simple wipe down will be sufficient when they vacate a property. Here is a detailed list of everything you need before [move out cleaning](https://g.page/hcprofessionalcleaning?share).

****1) Apply fresh paint on the walls.

You will need to repaint the walls of your rental property to restore them to their former colour if you changed their colour. To keep the property in good shape, the majority of landlords demand that tenants complete this step before leaving.

You can always employ experts like H&C Professional Cleaning if this seems like too much effort for you to handle. You can also enquire with your landlord about the possibility of keeping the fresh paint job. It doesn't hurt to enquire because some landlords are more understanding than others!

****2) Vacuum rugs and carpets

Especially if you have furry pals that like to shed everywhere, your carpets and rugs have likely seen better days. Not to add that the fabric has undoubtedly suffered from all the foot traffic into and out of the house.

Before you go, vacuum all carpets and rugs to get rid of the dirt, dust, and hair that have gathered over the years. Try to do this as soon to move-out as you can to give the cloth less opportunity to gather extra dirt.

Vacuums and rug brushes might be a tremendous assistance if you're not sure what gear to use. Most often, these tools can be purchased at most hardware store.

****3)Nailings and Holes

Don't just throw those nails and holes in the ground! Make sure to take out all the nails and patch any holes left by pictures or other decorations being hung.

It is preferable to take care of this in advance because your landlord will undoubtedly check for it. Get some wood putty or spackling paste from your neighbourhood hardware shop if you're unsure how to fill up the wall holes. A tiny amount should be applied, and it should be smoothed out until the hole is flat with the wall.

****4) Dust off the ceiling fans

Although they certainly don't receive as much care as they ought to, your ceiling fans nonetheless require cleaning. The blades can become clogged with dirt, dust, and filth over time, which reduces their ability to circulate air and gives the space a stuffy feeling.

To begin cleaning your ceiling fans, switch them off and clear the blades of any debris. After cleaning the blades, dust them off with a microfiber cloth. Consider using a mild cleaning solution if there is any remaining dirt that won't wash off.

****5) Clean the showers, sinks, and toilets.

One of the most crucial rooms to clean before you leave is the bathroom. The next tenant has to feel right at home the instant they walk through the door, therefore all those germs and bacteria need to be eliminated.

To ensure that all the grime is eliminated from the bowl, give your toilets a thorough cleaning with a toilet brush and bleach. After that, start cleaning the showers and bathtubs. Don't forget to clean the countertops, light switches, and door handles as well.
