Deep cleaning goes beyond everyday tidying—it tackles the dirt, grime, and buildup that standard cleaning routines often miss. Whether you’re moving out, recovering from renovation, or managing a challenging living situation, deep cleaning can restore a property to a safe, fresh, and hygienic state.
Professional cleaning companies offer a range of deep cleaning services, but four stand out as the most in-demand: End of Tenancy Cleaning, Post-Builders Cleaning, Hoarder Cleaning, and Move-In/Move-Out Cleaning. In this post, we’ll explore each one, what it includes, and why it’s important.
1.
End of Tenancy Cleaning
End of tenancy cleaning is a full-scale clean designed to bring a rented property back to its original condition before new tenants move in.
Why It Matters:
For tenants, a thorough clean can make the difference between getting a full deposit back or facing deductions. For landlords and letting agents, it’s about presenting the property at its best for future viewings.
What It Includes:
- Deep cleaning of all rooms, including kitchens, bathrooms, and living spaces
- Internal window cleaning
- Oven, hob, and appliance cleaning
- Carpet and upholstery cleaning (where required)
- Limescale and mould removal
- Wiping down skirting boards, doors, and fittings
Who It’s For:
- Tenants moving out of a rental
- Landlords preparing for new tenants
- Letting agents managing properties between tenancies
Pro Tip:
Choose a professional service that guarantees re-cleans if the property doesn’t pass inspection. This gives both tenants and landlords peace of mind.
2.
Post-Builders Cleaning
Construction work, no matter how big or small, leaves behind a mess—dust on every surface, paint splatters, and debris in hard-to-reach places. Post-builders cleaning targets these issues to make a home or business presentable and livable again.
Why It Matters:
Standard cleaning won’t cut through the thick layers of dust or tackle specialist materials left from construction. A professional clean ensures your property is safe, healthy, and truly finished.
What It Includes:
- Removal of fine construction dust on surfaces, ceilings, and inside cabinets
- Cleaning paint splatters, plaster residue, and adhesives
- Washing windows (interior and sometimes exterior)
- Floor cleaning, including scrubbing and polishing
- Sanitising bathrooms and kitchens
- Safe disposal of leftover building materials (if required)
Who It’s For:
- Homeowners completing renovations or extensions
- Property developers finalising new builds
- Businesses finishing commercial fit-outs
Pro Tip:
Make sure your post-builders clean is scheduled after all major work is finished to avoid recontamination.
3.
Hoarder Cleaning Services
Hoarding is a sensitive issue that often results in severe clutter, unhygienic conditions, and, in some cases, health and safety hazards. Hoarder cleaning is about more than just tidying—it’s a specialist, compassionate service that handles deep cleaning and waste removal with care.
Why It Matters:
Cluttered and unsanitary conditions can lead to serious health risks, including mould growth, pest infestations, and structural damage. For families and support workers, professional cleaners can be a lifeline in restoring a property to safe living standards.
What It Includes:
- Removal of accumulated clutter and rubbish
- Deep cleaning and sanitising of affected areas
- Odour and stain removal
- Biohazard cleaning if needed (e.g., bodily fluids, animal waste)
- Pest control recommendations or coordination (if applicable)
Who It’s For:
- Individuals or families dealing with hoarding behaviour
- Housing associations and social services
- Landlords reclaiming neglected properties
Pro Tip:
Look for a cleaning team experienced in sensitive clearances—compassion and discretion are just as important as efficiency.
4.
Move-In/Move-Out Cleaning
Similar to end of tenancy cleaning but not limited to rentals, move-in/move-out cleaning prepares a property for its next chapter—whether you’re moving into a new home or selling up.
Why It Matters:
Moving is already a stressful process. Having a clean start (or leaving a clean slate) reduces hassle, improves hygiene, and helps make the property feel like home from day one.
What It Includes:
- Complete cleaning of every room
- Disinfection of high-touch points like door handles and light switches
- Deep cleaning of bathrooms and kitchens
- Appliance and cupboard cleaning
- Dusting and floor vacuuming/mopping
- Optional extras like carpet or window cleaning
Who It’s For:
- Homeowners moving in or out of a property
- Estate agents preparing homes for sale or handover
- Families or individuals wanting a fresh start in a new home
Pro Tip:
If you’re moving in, consider having the clean done before your furniture arrives. It makes accessing every nook and cranny much easier.
Final Thoughts
Each type of deep clean serves a specific purpose, but they all share one common goal: restoring spaces to their best, safest, and cleanest condition. Whether you’re ending a tenancy, recovering from renovation, addressing a hoarding situation, or relocating, a professional cleaning company can handle the hard work—saving you time, stress, and, in many cases, money.
