A good cleaning plan protects both the appearance and condition of a property. This guide explains the practical considerations EcoLux discusses with clients before defining a professional scope.
The usual core scope
Move cleaning is designed to prepare an empty or nearly empty property for handover or occupancy. Every company defines its scope differently, so obtain a written checklist.
- Kitchen and bathroom surfaces and fixtures
- Cupboard and drawer interiors when empty
- Baseboards, doors, frames and reachable ledges
- Vacuuming and hard-floor washing
- Appliance interiors and interior windows when selected
What is often an extra
Wall washing, heavy buildup, balconies, garages, carpet extraction, exterior windows, large debris and appliance interiors may require additional time or specialized equipment. Photos help produce a more accurate quote.
A GTA move-day timeline
Complete repairs and remove belongings first. Schedule cleaning after movers and trades but before key handover whenever possible. Provide parking, elevator-booking and access details in advance.
For tenants and landlords
Cleaning does not resolve damage or maintenance issues. Photograph the property and confirm any lease, condominium or property-management requirements separately.
