Do I Need End of Tenancy Cleaning or Deep Cleaning?
When moving out of a rental property, deciding between end of tenancy cleaning and deep cleaning depends on several factors. Here's how to determine which option is best for your situation:
- Pets: If you had pets in the property, a deep cleaning is often recommended. Pets can leave behind fur, dander, and odours that require more intensive cleaning methods to ensure the property is spotless.
- Children: Homes with children may benefit deep cleaning due to the higher likelihood of spills. A deep clean will address these areas more thoroughly.
- Regular Cleaner: If you had a regular cleaner who maintained the property well, an end of tenancy cleaning might suffice. If cleaning was inconsistent or infrequent, a deep clean could be necessary to address accumulated dirt and grime.
- Length of Tenancy: The longer you lived in the property, the more likely it is that a deep cleaning is needed. Long-term occupancy can lead to buildup in areas that aren't cleaned regularly.
- Work From Home: If you worked from home, certain areas like home offices or high-traffic zones may need extra attention. Deep cleaning will ensure these spaces are thoroughly cleaned.
- Unoccupied Long Term: If the property was unoccupied for a significant period, dust and dirt can accumulate. A deep cleaning will address this buildup and freshen up the space.
- Elderly Residents: Homes with elderly residents may require deep cleaning due to potential mobility issues that prevent thorough regular cleaning. A deep clean ensures the property is left in pristine condition.
- You're a perfectionist: If you have high standards and want to ensure every detail is immaculate, a deep cleaning will provide the thoroughness you seek. This option ensures all areas are addressed to meet your exacting standards.
Choosing the Right Service
While both deep cleaning and end of tenancy cleaning are thorough, they serve different purposes and involve varying levels of detail and effort. By carefully assessing these factors, you can choose the most appropriate cleaning service to ensure the property is left in excellent condition, helping you secure your deposit and leave on good terms with your landlord.
End of Tenancy Cleaning
This service focuses on meeting the requirements set by landlords and letting agents. It typically includes cleaning all rooms, appliances, and fixtures to a standard level. This option is suitable if the property has been well-maintained and doesn’t have significant issues.

I highly recommend this company for anyone seeking reliable and world class cleaning. Darren Meadows We've had the pleasure of working with Bloom Eco Cleaning for our end-of-tenancy cleaning needs, and it's been an exceptional experience from start to finish. Their team was incredibly responsive, answering all our queries in a timely manner and accommodating our scheduling needs, even on short notice. One staff member who stood out was Renaldo. He was not just punctual but also highly efficient, displaying a level of professionalism that is rare to find. Renaldo was polite and well-dressed, which gave us peace of mind. His attention to detail was remarkable; he ensured that even the hard-to-reach corners were spotless and took extra care in areas like the kitchen and bathroom, leaving every surface cleaned to a high standard. His work ethic and dedication contributed significantly to the property looking and smelling fresh, making it ready for the next tenant. The pricing was competitive, offering great value for the high-quality service provided. There were no hidden costs, and the pricing structure was transparent, which is always a plus. In conclusion, Bloom Eco Cleaning has exceeded our expectations in every way. Their professionalism, quality of work, and competitive pricing, especially the outstanding service provided by Renaldo, make them our 1st choice for end-of-tenancy cleaning. We highly recommend their services to anyone in need of high-quality cleaning solutions. Eifersucht Kim Bloom Eco Cleaning is definitely a team I will trust for my next end of tenancy. No doubt about it. Rebecca seems to be serious at the beginning, and yes she is but who cares? Just trust her and she will do the rest. She will always be professional until the end and will always assist you no matter what. On the other hand the cleaning team is just on a different level. They were at the apartment before time, always communicating and paying attention to all details. Showing you what they were about to do, how they did it and why they did it that way, the most efficient way. Even Renaldo did his best to find a cheaper parking spot which is immensely appreciated it. Anyways I can't thank them enough and to Ana as well. Next time for sure!!! All the best for Bloom Eco Cleaning.
