✨ END OF TENANCY — MILITARY MARCH-OUT STYLE! ✨
Another successful military march-out clean, and our 100% pass rate remains intact! 🥳🙌
Whilst I’m here, I thought I’d talk a little about quotes for end-of-tenancy cleans, because let’s be honest — receiving a quote for this type of clean can sometimes come as a shock. They’re not cheap! So, why do they cost what they do?
Our latest property was a large four-bedroom house, with two generous reception rooms and a good-sized kitchen. The occupants had maintained it really well, so in terms of end-of-tenancy cleans, it was in relatively good condition.
Even so, it took over 20 hours of labour to get everything done to the standard required!
And this is where it’s easy to underestimate the work involved. Even a well-maintained property needs a huge amount of detailed cleaning when it comes to a military march-out. There’s a lot more to it than a quick once-over!
🧽 So, what goes into the price?
🏡 A visit to assess the property and prepare an accurate quote.
📝 Planning the clean and working out what’s needed.
🛒 Sourcing the right products and preparing equipment.
🧼 Hours of detailed cleaning, working through the property methodically and paying attention to all those little details.
🧺 Cleaning equipment, washing cloths and towels, and getting everything ready for the next job.
🚗 Collecting and returning hired equipment, where carpet cleaning is involved.
💷 Specialist products, equipment hire, travel, insurance and all the other business costs that come with providing a professional service.
And that’s before accounting for the time spent organising the work, communicating with clients and managing the business itself.
It’s never just a case of turning up and doing a spot of cleaning! 😂
A good end-of-tenancy clean takes time, planning, the right equipment and a real eye for detail. The aim isn’t simply to make a property look clean — it’s to leave it as thoroughly prepared as possible for inspection and the next occupants.
So, the next time you receive a quote for an end-of-tenancy clean, remember that you’re paying for far more than the hours spent inside the property. ❤️
