5 Reasons Why You Should Hire a Move Out Cleaning Service

Moving into or out of a home is the mark of an exciting transition in life, but it can be a very stressful time. There’s so much to take care of, with everything from packing to decorating your new home and everything in between.

Whether you’re moving into or out of a new home, PB Cleaning 247 – Home Cleaning Services in Dawson Creek will take care of the mess for you! PB Cleaning 247 believes that a cleaning company should not just simply “clean” a home or apartment, but offer a well-defined, trustworthy service that pays attention to the little details. We will thoroughly clean your new or old home with this approach to make your moving experience as smooth and worry-free as possible.

5 Reasons Why You Should Hire a Move Out Cleaning Service

1. It’s Great For Renters 

But what if you’re moving out of an apartment, not a home you own? It turns out hiring a professional move out cleaning company has benefits for renters as well.

For a start, deep cleaning your apartment keeps your landlord or property manager happy and will ensure you’ll get your security deposit back. If you leave behind a dirty apartment, your landlord could use part of your security deposit to hire a cleaning service themselves and you could lose part, if not all, of your deposit. A spotless apartment is easier for landlords to show to prospective renters.

If you were allowed to keep a pet in your apartment, a professional cleaning can remove all evidence of the animal such as hidden hair and fur in case the next tenants are allergic.

Another reason to use a move-out cleaning service is that you may do more harm than good if you attempt to clean something yourself in an apartment. You could end up damaging an appliance or countertop. Professional cleaners know how to remove stubborn stuck-on food and other debris without ruining the surface.

Leaving your apartment in the same (or even better) condition it was in when you moved into it will leave you in good standing with your landlord and increase your chances of them giving you a good reference if you wish to rent again.

2. It Can Help a Home Sell Faster as well

If you’re planning on selling your home and you want it to go under agreement fast, hiring a move out cleaning service can help present it in the best possible light to potential buyers. No one wants to enter a home they’re interested in buying only to encounter cobwebs, dirt, and other debris on the windows and in the corners of walls. Just as professionally staging a home with furniture and decor can help it sell faster, having your home deep cleaned can only improve your chances of receiving offers.

It can also free up more time for you as you navigate the steps to selling a home, from making it available for open houses to dealing with paperwork.

3. It Saves You Time and Stress

Moving is a lot of work. You have to sort through your personal belongings and declutter them by setting aside items to be donated, sold, given away, or trashed. Then there’s the whole process of packing and labeling boxes and trying to get it all done in anticipation of moving day.

As mentioned, the idea of cleaning your home as you’re trying to pack up your life is the last thing you want to do. That’s why hiring someone else to do the work for you can free up more time and eliminate added stress. Americans spend an average of six hours a week cleaning, which can become precious time you need when you’re up against a moving deadline.

4. Someone Else Does the Dirty Work For You

Let’s face it; cleaning your own home is not always a pleasant experience. Grease, dirt, and dust can accumulate in hidden places such as behind and underneath kitchen appliances. The bathroom can also be a gross part of the home to clean, as soap scum and hair can build up on shower walls and around bathtub drains.

A professional cleaning service tackles the dirty work for you so you don’t have to deal with the “ick” factor. Some of the tasks performed during a move out cleaning checklist often includes scrubbing the shower, bathtub, and toilets, wiping down baseboards and cabinets, cleaning sinks and countertops, and vacuuming and sweeping all the floors.

And because this type of service often takes place when the furniture is moved out, a thorough clean is guaranteed. Plus a professional company has the right cleaning equipment and tools to get the job done and leave the house, condo, or apartment sanitized and sparkling clean for the next occupants.

5. Do a Deep Clean

How clean is your house? If your house has dust bunnies or smudges on light switch plates, it won’t have the same effect as a home that is free of dirt and grime. A clean home has added value, seems brighter and fresher, and will seem like less of a “fixer-upper” if there’s no dust on the windowsill or along the baseboards.

So where should you start if you’re doing a deep clean on your entire home? What needs to be done? You may want to hire a professional cleaning crew to help you with all the work that goes into a deep clean. Here’s where to start:

• Wash windows inside and out.
• Vacuum carpets, and spot clean or shampoo wherever necessary.
• Wipe down baseboards, moldings and cabinet fronts.
• Dust blinds, shutters and bookshelves.
• Dust wall art and decor.
• Clean the oven, stovetop and fridge (and replace drip pans if needed).
• Clean and dust ceiling fans and light fixtures.
• Refresh shower caulking and grout.

You also will want to do the following things each day to stay ready for any showings:

• Dust and polish furniture and upholstery.
• Vacuum carpets and rugs, and sweep and mop floors.
• Wipe down hard surfaces and mirrors in the bathrooms.
• Wipe down your stovetop, kitchen sink and backsplash.
