If you’re moving out of a rental property for the first time then it’s important that you understand what you need to do you get your bond back. One of the most important responsibilities you have as a tenant is to ensure the property is looking exactly how it did when you first moved in. However in some cases your property owner might be more pedantic than you think, which is why it’s good to aim to have the property looking better than when you first moved in. You don’t want to risk loosing out on the return of your bond, especially when it equates to about four weeks total rent.
When you’ve decided to begin with the packing up and cleaning there is a few choice to be made. Firstly you need to decide whether you’re going to hire a professional cleaner to undertake the work, or complete the cleaning yourself. In most cases people will hire a professional to be safe and to ensure the get their bond back.
Usually you’ll be advised that you need to have the property cleaned to ‘professional standards’ which means steam cleaning the carpets, scrubbing the toilet, scouring the shower, wiping the draws, making the fridge sparkle, depending on the size of the property it might be easier to hire a professional bond cleaner. If you feel as though you can handle it alone then there’s no reason you can’t just be prepared to use some elbow grease.
If you do choose to clean the property yourself then you should definitely complete some research and ensure that you have a well written checklist. It’s wise to speak with others who’ve moved out of rental properties to gain an understanding of what’s required and the processes employed by the professionals.
Areas You Should Focus:
Carpeted Areas:
One of the most important ares to clean when looking to get your bond money back is the carpet. Nothing is more obvious then carpet stains and discolouration, which is why you must ensure these areas of your property are sparkling new. Most experienced tenants will advise that you invest in a professional carpet cleaner, or hire a steam cleaner. Vacuuming just wont cut it!
Walls and Doors:
You should ensure that you clean all walls and doors of the property. Cleaning walls can be done with sugar soap and sponge mop, but you must wipe of all dust before using any liquid solutions. You’ll usually be expected to ‘spot clean’ any marks on the walls a cover any nicks and dents
Windows:
Another obvious part of the property to clean are the windows, you should ensure that you clean both the interior and exterior of all windows on the property. Regular window cleaning products and techniques will be appropriate but you need to make sure that you do a thorough job and think of the blinds or curtains as well.
Skirting Boards:
One of the things that may slip your mind without an appropriate checklist is the skirting boards of the property, make sure you provide them a wipe down to collect any dust that may have built up. It wont take long but will be noticed if you forget.
Cupboards and Sinks:
Make sure you get a surface spray and get inside every crux of the cupboards to remove any grime, food or dust. You should also make sure you disinfect all sinks and wipe them all until they’re spotless. You don’t want to leave any food particles or dust that is highly unsanitary and leaves the house smelling.
Bathroom and Laundry:
Cleaning every bathroom and laundry crevice is of high importance as this is a sanitary requirement as well as an aesthetic element. You should use a good amount of disinfectant and toilet cleaning products to ensure that you’re not leaving a bad smell or grime. Ensure all grouting is looking in the best shape possible and the corners of the showers are mold free.
Outdoors:
If you have a large outdoor area or live in a rural set up then you will need to spend a solid amount of time cleaning up the exterior. Not only should you complete exterior house washing, but you should clean up any items or junk lying on the ground or in the garden. Also make sure to clean up any green waste, do some weeding and give the area a good sweep. The best way to dispose of green waste, landscaping rubbish and pavers is by hiring a skip bin. Skip bins come in a range of sizes and are the perfect way to get rid of bulk waste at an affordable rate.
Garage and Shed:
You may be lucky enough to have a small garage with limited space to collect junk and mess, however a lot of tenants utilise this space for storage. If you’ve got lots of storage and items to clean from either your garage or shed then you also need to make sure that there isn’t any nasty stains, spiderwebs or general waste. Make sure you get some protective gloves on and begin to clean every aspect of this space. If you own a pressure washer then this is perfect for any outdoor floor and wall cleaning.
As you can see there are a lot of different things you need to remember when it comes to bond cleaning, and it’s important that you ensure you have completed all tasks on the general list provided to you by your landlord/property owner. If you think you may not be able to provide the ‘professional results’ required in this scenario then you can book in a professional to complete all the duties. They are fast, affective, will bring all the cleaning products and are much cheaper than risking your bond.
