Moving is stressful enough without the worry of scrubbing floors or polishing appliances. Whether you’re a tenant hoping to get your full deposit back or a landlord preparing for new renters, a spotless property is essential. At Prema Clean, we specialize in professional move-in and move-out cleaning that makes the process faster, easier, and stress-free.
Here’s the ultimate checklist to make sure nothing gets missed:
✅ Kitchen
Deep clean oven, stovetop, and range hood
Scrub inside & outside of refrigerator and freezer
Sanitize sinks and faucets
Wipe down cabinets, drawers, and counters
Mop and disinfect floors
✅ Bathrooms
Scrub showers, tubs, and toilets
Clean mirrors and fixtures until streak-free
Disinfect sinks and countertops
Remove mold, soap scum, and hard water stains
Shine tiles and mop floors
✅ Bedrooms & Living Areas
Dust baseboards, shelves, and light fixtures
Wipe down doors, walls, and switches
Vacuum carpets and mop hard floors
Clean windows, blinds, and sliding glass doors
Remove cobwebs and lingering odors
✅ Special Touches
Spot-clean walls and touch-up scuffs
Wipe down inside closets and storage areas
Ensure property smells fresh and inviting
Why This Matters
For tenants, a proper move-out clean is the difference between losing your deposit and getting it back. For landlords and property managers, a professionally cleaned property means:
Faster rental turnover
Happier tenants
A property that shows (and rents) at a higher value
