Carpets are one of the most common things checked at the end of a tenancy. Reasonable wear and tear is expected, but stains, odours and obvious neglect can lead to deposit deductions.
What a Landlord-Standard Clean Covers
- Full carpet deep clean across every room, not just visible areas
- Stain treatment for any marks beyond normal wear
- Odour treatment if pets have been kept
- A receipt or invoice as proof of professional cleaning for the inspection
Tips for Tenants
Book the clean for as close to move-out day as possible, keep the receipt to show at inspection, and flag any pre-existing stains in your check-in inventory so you are not held responsible for them later.
Tips for Landlords
Specify professional carpet cleaning as a condition in the tenancy agreement where appropriate, and use the same standard for check-in and check-out comparisons.
