PRE-TENANCY CLEANING SERVICE
BOOK YOUR PRE-TENANCY CLEANING SERVICE TODAY!
Letting your property can be a big step and with the hussle and bussle of finding the right tenant that will treat your property the way you do, some of us can often overlook one crucial step. This is making your property look spotless for your viewings.
This is an important step because a spotless property can attract a greater number of potential tenants and in some cases can even lead to you being able to charge a higher rent.
In addition to this, most tenants expect that a property is cleaned to the highest standard before moving in, which can cause landlords the distress of finding professional cleaners that can provide this service. Luckily, glimmr has vast experience in dealing with pre-tenancy cleans and can guarantee the highest quality cleaning service for your property!
How is this different from a regular house cleaning service?
A regular house cleaning service is designed to keep your home clean throughout the year and should be performed at regular intervals. A pre-tenancy cleaning service is designed for landlords or individuals wishing to sublet their property. It involves a thorough clean before potential tenants move in or view the property. Done right, in some cases this can even help boost the price at which you can let your property!

This means that some areas will receive more attention than others depending on the condition of your home at the time.
Glimmr’s 5 tips for a hasssle free pre-tenancy clean
We at glimmr have a host of experience with pre-tenancy cleaning services. Here are some of the things we reccomend you have in place to make sure your cleaning moves along smoothly:
1. Be at home or leave a key
For end of tenancy cleans, homes are usually vacant. We find that it is usually easiest for our clients to leave their keys with a neighbour or conceirge service while we carry out our cleaning activities. This is because the alternative can usually be to wait inside an empty home, which can be especially painful if the internet connection has been terminated!
2. Make sure you still have water and electricity
Often times, tenants wish to turn off the supply of water and electricity in their homes close to when their contract is due to expire. It makes sense, why pay for electricity and water if you won’t be living there anymore? The problem is that professional cleaning companies require both in order to carry out their cleaning services. So make sure to schedule your cleaning appointment before these are turned off.
3. Arrange for your cleaning a few days in advance
We understand that timelines can be very stretched when you’re moving out, but it isn’t usually a good idea to schedule your end of tenancy clean close to the end date of your contract. This is because, should you need to schedule a re-clean, say if something wasn’t properly cleaned the first time around, there usually isn’t any time to do so.
4. Make sure there isn’t a schedule clash with other services
If you’re scheduling appointments with other services, such as handymen, plumbers and carpet cleaners, make sure they aren’t scheduled for the same day. You can imagine why scheduling a clean for the same day builders are making improvements to your home can cause some issues.
5. Allow ample time for the cleaning
An end of tenancy clean can take much longer to do than a regular house cleaning session so please set aside sufficient time when planning to book.
Still on the fence?
Don’t sweat it if you’re still on the fence with this stuff. Although we try to make it as easy as possible for our customers to book with us, we understand that sometimes all you need is to talk to a friendly face. If that sounds like you, feel free to give us a ring and we’ll be happy to talk you through any questions or concerns you might have about booking a professional cleaning service.
What we can’t clean
Unfortunately, there are some things we don’t clean as part of our pre-tenancy cleaning service:
1. Light bulbs and fixtures: Light bulbs and fixtures tend to be quite fragile, which make them quite difficult to clean. Due to the liability involved, we tend not to clean these.
2. Garage and patios: Often times, cleaning garages and patios requires the use of sophisticated cleaning equipment such as pressure hoses that our cleaners don’t carry.
3. Carpets: Cleaning carpets requires the use of carpet cleaning equipment that our cleaning teams don’t carry at this stage.
4. Outside windows: Outside windows often require ladders and specialised equipment to clean properly. Due to this and health and safety reasons, our cleaners are only instructed to clean easy to reach sides of your windows.If this information has helped you in making your decision, the next step is to book your next clean with glimmr.
