How To Get Your Rental Property Clean Sparkling

Spring may be the time for cleaning, but the truth is, when it comes to letting out a property, anytime is a good time to get it look its best.

Are you between tenants? Renting out your property for the first time? Whatever the reasons, if you feel that the time has come to give your property a clean, then why not take a look at some of our top tips for a summertime clean up?

Have everything you need for a deep clean

Before you start de-cluttering the property, you first need to give it a proper clean. Otherwise you will simply be moving dirt and dust around. To give the place a good going over, you are going to need plenty of tools to tackle that dirt.

Make sure that you have:

·      A dustpan and brush

·      Rubber gloves

·      Rubbish bags

·      Glass cleaner

·      Dusting cloths

·      All purpose cleaner

·      A few empty boxes

·      Plenty of sponge and cloths

Have a plan in mind

There is no point running aimlessly around the place cleaning here and there. If you are really going to get it done properly, you need to have a game plan. Not only should you try and work around the property systematically, but you should also have key zones in mind that will need a good clean.

This includes the kitchen, the bathroom, the carpets and the windows. Anything else that gets a good old clean is a bonus.

Get the kitchen sparkling

One of the hardest rooms to keep and get clean has to be the kitchen. After all, it is the place were dinners are created, which in itself generates a rather impressive mess. Over time a kitchen can accumulate a rather impressive array of grease, dirt and grime, even if you, or your tenants have kept it clean.

Unfortunately, there are no quick wins when it comes to creating a spotless kitchen, rather you simply just need to roll up your sleeves and tackle it.

Some of the key areas within your kitchen to focus on includes:

·      The cabinet doors and interiors

·      The oven

·      The washing machine

·      The dishwasher (if there is one within the property)

·      The worktops

·      The tiles

·      The fridge

·      The extractor hood

Sounds like a rather long list, but hopefully, they are not in too bad condition and will be relatively easy to get clean.

?Don’t forget the garden

Whilst the garden may be outside, it still forms an important part of anyone wanting to take on your property. This means, that if you are cleaning the interior of the house, you might as well think about the exterior too.

Mow the lawn, trim back any bushes or shrubs and give everything a blast with a pressure washer. All of which are easy ways to make sure that your garden space looks as appealing as possible.

So, there you have it, some of the top tips that you can try out if you want to get your rental property looking as beautiful as possible. Ultimately, with some time and a bit of elbow grease, it really isn’t that hard to have a home to be proud of.
