Frequently Asked Questions

What is Pre-occupation cleaning?

Pre-occupation cleaning is performed before tenants or owners move into a property. It ensures that all areas are thoroughly cleaned, hygienic, and free of dust and debris, ready for immediate use. This is often required for new or renovated homes.

Pre-occupation cleaning is also commonly called move-in cleaning or end-of-tenancy cleaning. These terms all refer to the thorough cleaning of a property before new occupants move in to ensure it is hygienic and ready for use.

A typical checklist includes:

  • Dusting and wiping all surfaces

  • Cleaning windows and mirrors

  • Vacuuming and mopping floors

  • Sanitizing bathrooms and kitchens

  • Cleaning inside cabinets and drawers

  • Removing any cobwebs

  • Tidying up and organizing as needed

The duration depends on the property’s size and condition. On average, it can take between 4-8 hours. Larger homes or heavily soiled areas may require more time.

Yes, carpets and upholstery should be vacuumed and, if necessary, deep cleaned to remove dirt, stains, and allergens, ensuring a fresh environment for new occupants.

It’s best to schedule cleaning a day or two before moving in. This ensures the property is spotless and ready for occupancy.

While DIY cleaning is possible, hiring professionals ensures a thorough job, especially for deep cleaning tasks and hard-to-reach areas.

Post-occupation cleaning (moving out) is a thorough deep cleaning performed after tenants or occupants have moved out of a property. Its main goal is to remove dirt, dust, and any leftover debris to make the space clean, fresh, and ready for the next occupants. This type of cleaning is often more intensive than regular cleaning and ensures that all areas of the property are hygienic and presentable.

Key tasks in post-occupation cleaning include:

  • Deep cleaning and sanitizing kitchens (counters, cabinets, appliances)

  • Deep cleaning bathrooms (toilets, showers, sinks, tiles)

  • Vacuuming and mopping floors throughout the property

  • Wiping walls, doors, and windows to remove dust and smudges

  • Removing cobwebs from ceilings and corners

  • Cleaning inside cabinets and drawers

  • Checking and removing leftover items or debris

  • Emptying trash bins and replacing liners

Occupation cleaning refers to the regular or ongoing cleaning of a property while it is being lived in or used. It focuses on maintaining hygiene and cleanliness in daily life, such as vacuuming, dusting, mopping floors, cleaning bathrooms, and tidying up living or working spaces. Unlike pre- or post-occupation cleaning, it is not a deep clean done before or after new tenants move in/ out, it’s about keeping the property clean during occupation.
