Move-out cleaning checklist

A practical, room-by-room checklist for handover cleaning. Use it before tenant exit inspections or owner walkthroughs to avoid common misses.

Kitchen

  • Inside and outside cupboards and drawers wiped.
  • Hob, extractor, and oven degreased.
  • Sink and taps descaled; splashback cleaned.

Bathrooms

  • Shower, bath, basin, and toilet disinfected and rinsed.
  • Tiles and grout scrubbed where needed.
  • Mirrors, fittings, and ventilation covers cleaned.

Final handover pass

  1. Skirtings, switches, and door handles checked.
  2. Floors vacuumed and mopped end-to-end.
  3. Photos taken after completion for records.
