Professional end of lease cleaning is essential if you want to get 100% of your rental property deposit back. It’s competitively priced, effective and convenient – everything you need when the stakes are high, you’re already dealing with the stress of moving, and the condition of your place is under a high-level of scrutiny.
The Importance Of Getting That Rental Deposit Back
Pre-pandemic statistics (2018) told us that home ownership levels had slipped from 73% to 63%, and with the economy going South, mortgages becoming unicorns and the cost of living going up, the numbers are unlikely to be any better in post-pandemic times. For that reason, a lot of us are renting, and in some areas, even that is a challenge. We know the UK as a whole needs 23,000 new homes to meet the rental demand, but in places like Cornwall, the housing crisis is so bad it is making people homeless, because they can’t afford the inflated house sale prices, and there aren’t enough long-term lets to go around.
Where there are houses to rent, it’s competitive, and you need to be able to impress potential landlords and drop a deposit on a property rental without hesitation. You need a fantastic review from your landlord to secure future rental contracts – something that could be threatened if the cleaning is not up to scratch. Additionally, with the cost of living rising, nobody can afford to lose even a bit of a rental deposit, which can be 1-2 months rent plus extra add-ons depending on the landlord or rental company – a total amount likely to top £1000 or more.
For all of the above reasons and more, getting a rental deposit back in full is even more important than ever before.
Enhancing Your Chance Of Glowing Reviews & 100% Deposit Return With An End Of Lease Professional Clean
Even with the best will in the world, you won’t be able to clean your home with as much impact and effectiveness as a professional cleaning company. They have a vast amount of skills, cleaning solutions, industrial cleaning machines and tools to deal with any cleaning challenge. Of course they will get stuck into vacuuming, dusting, wiping and spritzing, but they can also work on the areas where you are most likely to be challenged when it comes to your deposit. Common examples of deposit withholding causes include:
- Carpet stains
- Marks on the walls
- Mould presence
- Stained toilets
- Limescale
Even the most minor marks, stains and issues can be a cause for landlords to withhold some of your deposit, which is why you need help from the experts. They have tools and techniques to deal with these problems.
For example: deep carpet cleaning can often lift deep staining, and it dries off within hours with the use of industrial water suction processes. Deep cleaning can also remove a lot of mould staining and deep limescale and dirt buildups in bathrooms. Wall scuffs are also easily dealt with as they can often simply be a more challenging mark to clean off than would be dealt with by wiping – they are common and a cleaning challenge professional cleaners know how to work with and remove.
Overall, professional end of lease cleaning is the extra mile and an eye for detail you need to ensure you leave the property as hygienic and clean as possible, including marks, stains and scuffs you might otherwise struggle to deal with yourself effectively.

What Professional End Of Lease Cleans Can’t Fix
It’s important to recognise that there are certain things that end of lease professional cleans can’t fix. For example: mould that has stained grout or sealant cannot be replaced by cleaners, only deeply cleaned, so if the stains remain, that could still be an issue. The same goes for redecorating you were not permitted to do. Cleaners can thoroughly clean that area, but they can’t change the way the property looks in regards to the decoration.
If you have visual problems that cannot be cleaned, even by the professionals, you may need to consider hiring somebody who can correct the issues at hand, like a decorator or handyman. In some cases, it’s worth doing that even if it costs more than it would cost to lose some deposit, because it means you will still get a glowing review, which is essential when it comes to renting other properties.
