CLEANING TIPS AND ADVICE

Real tips,
actually useful.

Whether you're trying to keep your home under control between visits, preparing a property for handover, or just wondering how to get rid of that stubborn limescale in the bathroom. This page is here to help. Practical advice, straightforward language. No filler.

Keeping Your Home Clean
Between Visits

The secret to a clean home isn't a marathon clean every few weeks. It's small, consistent habits that stop mess from building up in the first place. If you already have regular cleaning support, these tips will help you get the most out of every visit.

Stay on top of clutter - a cluttered surface always looks dirtier than it is.
Wipe kitchen and bathroom surfaces down regularly - 60 seconds after use saves 20 minutes later.
Focus on high-use areas - the kitchen, bathroom and main living space need the most attention.
Deal with mess early - a stain you tackle today takes seconds; the same stain next week takes effort.
Empty bins before they overflow - it's amazing how much this affects how clean a space feels.

END OF TENANCY TIPS

DON'T LEAVE IT TO THE LAST MINUTE

Moving out is a high-pressure situation. Leaving the clean to the day before (or the day of) moving out is one of the biggest mistakes tenants make. Rushed cleaning leads to missed areas, and missed areas lead to deposit disputes.

Kitchen appliances

Especially the oven, which is the most commonly failed item on inventories.

Bathroom

Descale the taps, clean the grouting, and don't forget the area behind the toilet.

Cupboards and drawers

Empty them and clean the inside surfaces.

Floors and edges

Skirting boards, thresholds and corners are always checked.

Windows

Inside, at minimum, should be clean and streak-free.

Lightbulbs & Hardware

Don't forget switch plates and door handles - they get checked.

How Often Should You
Book a Cleaner?

There's no single right answer. It depends on your lifestyle, how many people are in the property, whether you have pets or children, and how much cleaning you're doing yourself.

Weekly

Busy households with children or pets, or anyone who wants to come home to a genuinely clean space every week

Fortnightly

A good balance for most households; things stay manageable between visits

Monthly

Works well for smaller properties or people who do most of their own cleaning and just want a helping hand

One-off

For special occasions, pre/post events, or whenever life gets ahead of you

QUICK WINS

HIGH IMPACT, LOW EFFORT

Squeegee your shower walls after every use. It prevents limescale and soap scum building up.

Keep a multi-surface spray under the sink and use it on kitchen surfaces after cooking.

Put things back where they belong every evening - tidying takes less than 5 minutes and makes a big difference to how a space feels.

Wipe the hob after every use; dried-on food is ten times harder to remove.

Use a doormat. It cuts down on tracked-in dirt significantly.
