    A pre-tenancy clean gets a property spotless before new tenants move in, so the check-in inventory records a clean home and there’s a clear standard to hand back at the end of the tenancy.

    Landlords and letting agents book it between tenancies, and new tenants book a move-in clean when they want a fresh start. Covered by our 72-hour guarantee.

    Pre-Tenancy Cleaning is also known as check-in clean or move-in cleaning, and some people call it a clean before tenants move in.

    “Beautiful service! Areas included in the booked service were thoroughly cleaned and I was especially impressed with how clean the oven looked, like brand new! I also didn’t think the bathroom could be brought back to such good standard but it actually looked so good when the cleaning was completed. A couple small areas of skirting board were forgotten but that was all that was missed. Quick and efficient and would definitely recommend!”

The team kept in contact with me and kept me updated on the day of the clean! House was spotless by the time they had finished and they were professional from start to finish! I have booked in again for a further property clean that I require”

    Is pre-tenancy cleaning the same as a move-in clean?

    Yes. A pre-tenancy clean, move-in clean or check-in clean is done before new tenants arrive, so the inventory records a clean property.

    When should the clean be booked?

    Before the check-in inventory, so the report records the property as professionally cleaned.
