🪟 Window cleaning – inside and out (if possible)

🛁 Descaling in bathrooms: shower, toilet, sink

🍽️ Cleaning of oven, refrigerator, freezer, and dishwasher (also behind)

🚪 Wiping down doors, light switches, electrical outlets

This is just a brief overview – the complete moving-out cleaning checklist is available in PDF format further down ⬇️

What you should prepare before cleaning

For the moving-out cleaning to be performed efficiently, you need to:

  • Empty the entire residence of furniture and belongings
  • Defrost the refrigerator and freezer at least 24 hours prior
  • Ensure access to electricity and hot water
  • Report any damages in advance
  • Inform us if you want us to remove any leftover items
 

We do not discard anything without approval.
