End-of-tenancy cleaning checklist

Use the tenancy agreement, check-in inventory and property condition as your primary references. This checklist helps organise the work, but it does not replace property-specific requirements.

Before you begin

  • Read the agreement and check-in report for agreed responsibilities.
  • Photograph existing damage before cleaning it.
  • Remove belongings and rubbish so surfaces are accessible.
  • Check product instructions and ventilate; never mix cleaning chemicals.

Kitchen

  • Worktops, sink, taps, splashbacks and cupboard fronts
  • Inside emptied cupboards and drawers
  • Hob, extractor surfaces and accessible filters
  • Oven and supplied appliances where required
  • Floors, skirtings, bins and reachable surfaces behind movable appliances

Bathrooms and living spaces

  • Bath, shower, basin, toilet, tiles and accessible fittings
  • Mirrors, shelves, ventilation covers and floors
  • Dusting, floors, skirtings, doors and internal glass
  • Cupboards, wardrobes and shelves once empty
  • Marks only where the finish can be cleaned safely

Final checks

  • Compare each room with the inventory and your photographs.
  • Check windows, curtains or blinds only to the extent agreed and safely accessible.
  • Empty cleaning equipment and remove waste.
  • Record meter readings or keys separately according to your move arrangements.
  • Keep receipts and completion photographs where useful.
