Moving out is busy enough without a surprise deduction from your deposit. A thorough final clean is the easiest way to protect it — and to leave a good impression with your landlord, property manager or the buyer.
Clean once your belongings are out. In the kitchen, wipe cabinets inside and out, clean the oven, microwave and refrigerator, and degrease the stovetop and backsplash.
In bathrooms, scrub the tub, shower, toilet and sinks, wipe mirrors and fixtures, and clean the floor. Soap scum and hard-water marks are the details landlords notice first.
In every room, wipe baseboards, doors and window sills, dust vents and fans, clean the inside of closets, and vacuum and mop all floors last so you don't track dust back onto clean surfaces.
