Domestic Cleaning Glasgow

If you have been renting a property and the time is approaching when your lease will come to an end, you should start thinking about getting your accommodation in shape to ensure that your landlord returns the deposit which you paid at the start of the lease. So what is the best way to go about this to ensure the best possible chance of recovering your deposit in full? We decided to consult Proclean Domestic Cleaning Glasgow, a specialist cleaning company who provide a range of cleaning services, including end-of-lease cleans for tenants, as well as other services such as carpet cleaning in Glasgow. The following is their advice:

The vast majority of landlords of domestic accomodation will stipulate in the lease documents that there is to be a deposit paid at the date of entry to provide “insurance” against damages, repairs or breakages.  While it is pretty straightforward to identify any breakages, the question of repairs is often a grey area. More often than not, the landlord will expect to receive his property back in as near the same state of repair, fair wear and tear excepted, as when he handed over the keys. The landlord will most certainly expect the property to be thoroughly cleaned at the end of the lease and, if not, will usually employ his own cleaners – often at considerable expense – to have the place cleaned, before deducting the cleaner’s costs from the deposit. This means that as tenant you have little or no control over the cost of this cleaning.

And that is precisely why you should consider engaging the services of a professional cleaning company in Glasgow or elsewhere, to help you with your end-of-tenancy clean. By doing things this way, you are in control of what jobs are being done and also keep a close eye on the budget. A professional domestic cleaning company will visit you at your premises and provide you with a detailed quote for the work which needs to be done. If, as in most cases, your landlord or his/her agents have provided you with an end-of-tenancy checklist, then the cleaning company can take a note of what is required and ensure that these jobs are included in the quote.

However well-intentioned the tenant – or indeed the landlord – there can be occasions where a dispute will arise, even after the tenant has had the property professionally cleaned. In this case the tenant will be able to call upon the cleaning organisation to confirm that it has indeed carried out the work required by the landlord, so that you should receive the deposit back intact. A professional domestic cleaning company will be happy to provide you with full written details of the job to be done, along with an estimate for its charges, so that you have the fullest data to fall back upon should any problems arise with the landlord. It is also essential that you retain a copy of the final receipt as proof that the work has been done and paid for. Some professional domestic cleaning companies will even provide you with before-and-after photographs or even videos as additional evidence should a dispute arise. This is not the time to employ the services of the one-man-band cleaning company down the road, who won’t commit anything to writing and only accepts payment in cash! If you want to get your end-of-tenancy cleaning job done to professional standards giving you the best possible opportunity of recovering your deposit intact, then it makes sense to use a professional cleaning company.
