Moving already comes with enough work. Packing, transport, utilities, keys and handover arrangements can leave very little time for the detailed cleaning a property often needs when one occupant leaves and another arrives.
Feathers Cleaning and Hygiene provides move-in and move-out cleaning in Port Elizabeth and Gqeberha for tenants, homeowners, landlords and property managers who need a residential property cleaned between occupancies.
Because the property is usually empty or close to empty, our team can focus more closely on surfaces and areas that may normally be obstructed by furniture and everyday household activity.
Move-out cleaning helps prepare a property for handover after you have removed your belongings.
It is particularly useful for rental handovers, property sales and situations where the next occupant needs a clean, presentable space.
Move-in cleaning gives you an opportunity to have the property cleaned before furniture, boxes and everyday household activity fill the space.
It helps create a cleaner starting point before you unpack and settle into the home.
The exact service depends on the property and booking selected, but vacancy cleaning commonly focuses on the following areas.
Accessible surfaces, sinks, exterior cabinetry, worktops and floors.
Toilets, showers, baths, basins, fittings, surfaces and floors.
Dust removal, accessible surfaces and floor cleaning in empty rooms.
Dusting, accessible surfaces, corners and general floor cleaning.
Vacuuming, sweeping or mopping appropriate residential floor surfaces.
Accessible door surfaces and frequently handled areas where appropriate.
Vacant properties can allow better access to edges and areas normally blocked by furniture.
General cleaning intended to leave the property cleaner for handover or occupation.
A vacant property gives cleaners better access to floors, corners, cupboards and surfaces that may be difficult to reach when furniture and belongings are still in place.
Ideally, schedule cleaning after personal belongings and loose furniture have been removed.
Cleaning before furniture arrives gives the team better access to the property.
If building work was recently completed, a normal move clean may not be the right service.
View post-renovation cleaning →A professional move-out clean can help present a rental property in a cleaner condition for inspection, but the return of a rental deposit depends on the lease agreement, property condition, damage and the landlord or managing agent's inspection.
Cleaning should therefore be treated as one part of preparing the property for handover, rather than a guarantee of a particular inspection or deposit outcome.
