How to Clean Your Apartment Before You Move Out
I am writing this article to share my views about End of Lease cleaning in Melbourne, Victoria. The owner of a property renting to others has sent me a message regarding some concerns about his cleaning contractors. He has been letting the building go empty for quite some time and is worried about the safety and cleanliness of the building. He has hired local End of Lease cleaners from local Victoria experts. What is his expectation?
The building is a fine structure but needs end of lease cleaning done regularly. The property manager says that he will be conducting the end of lease cleaning himself. I see no harm in letting the property manager do the job himself, to minimize any chance of disaster. If anything, it will give us a fair chance to find out whether he has the right experience and equipment for the job. Of course, the building is going to benefit from someone who knows the building and its tenants inside and out.
My concern is more about the end of lease cleaning services and how we get those services and if they are really what we need for the building. The building is only two weeks old and I have heard nothing about any issues so far. Now, the property manager has informed me that he will be putting in end of lease cleaning services at no extra cost as part of the renewal of his building deal. It amazes me that he wants to charge something like $90 a day to do a simple job of sweeping the outside windows.
The end of lease cleaning in Point Cook is expected to start on Monday. No one at the property has told me when he will be doing the job or what he will be doing. I asked him if he had any idea of who would be doing the cleaning. His answer was that he didn't know anyone and he didn't want to hire anyone until he had talked to the building's building maintenance team. I don't understand why he wants to put all this responsibility in the hands of someone who doesn't know what he is doing.
I also wonder if he is charging end of lease cleaners a higher rate simply because he is in a better position than the new owners. I don't think that he thinks so because he says he hasn't charged anyone yet for the job and plans to do so. I also wonder if he is charging too little because there are several new guys who have just arrived and haven't done any work on the previous tenants' property yet. It appears to me that end of lease cleaners have been shortchanged by their Melbourne property owners, unless they have hired bond back specialists.
My best advice to end of lease cleaning in Point Cook would be to contact your real estate agent and ask him to negotiate with your owner on a new and cheaper rate. If your property owner balks, then you need to explain to him that you will pay the difference in cash. I don't know about you, but I find that the price difference for cleaning to be quite reasonable. After all, you are going to get paid anyway, so why shouldn't you get paid right?
Of course, sometimes things are out of your control and you are faced with cleaning on a very tight schedule. In those situations, my favorite method for end of lease cleaning in Point Cook would be to use steam cleaning machines. The fact is that the chemicals used by commercial cleaning companies can damage wooden and vinyl floors more than they can clean them. Steam cleaning machines are much gentler on these surfaces, and you won't end up damaging your floors as much.
One other thing I would like to share with you about the end of lease cleaning in Point Cook, is that it may be time to move. Commercial cleaning services in the area are swamped at the moment, so it may be harder to move your things. But if you still have things to move, I recommend you call the residential customer service desk of your property owner and ask them if they have space available for a move. If you still have to move within a few weeks, you can just contact the residential customer's service and they will come to pick you up from your place of move. You'll be glad you did, as you will save a lot of time and energy moving your things into your new home!
