You can either opt to hire a professional end of tenancy cleaning company or do it yourself. It’s often more cost effective to do it yourself, plus that way you have peace of mind that all the rooms have been cleaned to the required standard.

Most tenancy agreements require you to organise an end of tenancy clean prior to checking out of the property. If you do not organise a clean, and the property fails to meet the landlord’s requirements for cleanliness, you may have a fee deducted from your security deposit to cover the cost of cleaning.

This will largely depend on the size of the property but also, how clean the property is to start with and how much furniture is in the property. An average sized two bedroom apartment will normally take two cleaners around 4-5 hours for a professional standard clean.
