Moving out of student accommodation this summer? Of course, the first thing you want back is your deposit. However, many students don’t realise just how strict landlords and letting agents can be when it comes to cleaning standards.
If you’re like most students, you’ve likely been focused on enjoying yourself (and studying, of course!), rather than obsessing over cleaning.
That’s where Mayer Cleaning steps in: your trusted, local, family-run cleaning company for first-class end of tenancy cleaning. We love helping students secure their full deposit back without the unnecessary stress.
Whether you’re based in Guildford, Reading, Southampton or London, our expert cleaning teams have your back. We also work with landlords across the local area who want to ensure their properties are pristine before the next tenants.
Here’s everything you need to know before handing over those keys.
Why End of Tenancy Cleaning Matters
Most landlords deduct money for cleaning costs after a tenancy ends, especially if the flat or house isn’t left spotless. And what counts as ‘clean’ to you probably isn’t the same as it is to your landlord.
Typical issues that cost students their deposit include:
- Stains on carpets or upholstery. Our team can remove even the most stubborn stains with deep cleaning methods.
- Greasy ovens and hobs. Don’t fancy spending hours on your knees, scrubbing out the oven? Let us deal with it.
- Limescale in bathrooms. Again, like grease in ovens, it can be hard to remove completely yourself.
- Dust and grime in hard-to-reach areas. If you’re not a professional cleaner, it’s easy to miss spots- but our team never does.
- Leftover rubbish or food. Not a single crumb will be missed.
- Missed areas like skirting boards, light switches, and extractor fans
Hiring a professional cleaning company ensures every inch of the property is taken care of, and gives you a certificate of cleaning if your landlord requests proof.
