Move-Out Cleaning Checklist
Does this sound familiar?
😤
Sticky Appliances & Grease
Oven grime, greasy hood filters, and a refrigerator that smells like last year.
🏠
Baseboards & Blinds Forgotten
Dust lines, fingerprints, and neglected windowsills that ruin first impressions.
🧹
Rushed Turnovers
Cleaners miss steps under time pressure, leading to callbacks and delays.
📊
No Proof of Work
You can’t show that the clean was completed to standard -photos and notes are scattered.
🚪
New Tenant Day Surprises
Smudged doors, stained sinks, and dusty fans discovered as keys are handed over.
⏰
Time Sink for Managers
Endless texting and “did you do X?” follow-ups to get the unit show-ready.
A focused move-out cleaning checklist keeps turnovers fast, consistent, and documented. Use this template to standardize deep-clean steps, assign work, and capture proof so units are show-ready on time.
