What is Included in End-Of-Lease Cleans For Businesses?

When it’s time for your business to move on to new, greater spaces, you need to make sure your existing space is in good condition for the next tenants. This includes making sure all internal and external (if included) spaces are clean and welcoming.

While you would be keeping your space clean throughout the year, once all the furniture is out you’ll start to notice all the space you missed simply because you couldn’t access them. But, these are the little things that your property manager or landlord will often notice, and when they do, it could cost you your bond.

To ensure a seamless transition from your existing space to your next, leave the cleaning to the experts. With our end-of-lease cleaning services for businesses, we can ensure that every inch of your property is clean and ready for you to hand back the keys and help you get your bond back in full.

What is an End-of-Lease Clean?

Regardless of whether new tenants are lined up to move in straight away or if the property is going onto the rental market, it is your responsibility as the lessee to return it in the same condition or better than when you first moved in. This is where commercial end-of-lease cleaning services come in.

Commercial end-of-lease cleaning is the process of restoring your property to its original state, ready for you to vacate and for the next tenants to move in. These cleans are generally completed after all of your furniture has been removed so that we can clean all of the hard-to-reach places and areas that have been blocked or covered by furniture.

We provide end-of-lease cleaning services to all commercial properties, including schools, offices and retail stores. Our cleaning plans can be tailored to your property and needs, however, they are designed to include all internal and external surfaces to provide a thorough and all-inclusive clean.

Inclusions of Commercial End-of-Lease Cleans

Before commencing the cleaning service, we will visit your property and complete a comprehensive inspection. This can be done before, during or after you have moved your furniture, as we just need to get a feel for the space and areas that will need to be cleaned.

We will then provide a detailed up-front quote tailored to your space and cleaning needs so you know exactly what to expect. Should you choose to accept this quote, we will work with you to schedule a convenient time to complete the cleaning and provide the following services:

Floors

Commercial floors often get grimy and dirty, bringing down the look of the whole space and are highly noticeable to property managers and landlords. So, we will thoroughly vacuum and/or mop all flooring including, carpets, tiles, lino, wood and more, as well as offering a few specialised services for certain flooring types.

Our cleaners use industry-rated carpet steam cleaners to remove embedded dirt and stains from carpeted floors. We also scrub tiles and grout, removing mould and mildew and making them shine like new. Finally, if any of your hard floors are sticky or beyond cleaning, we can strip and reseal them for a smooth finish.

General Internal Cleaning

During end-of-lease cleans, we complete thorough general cleaning of all surfaces in your property. This includes wiping down and disinfecting any permanent or remaining surfaces such as benchtops, desks, tables, shelving, and cupboards.

Additionally, we clean all walls, doors and ceilings to remove scuff marks, dirty handprints, general dirt and any other visible stains or marks. If your property has included bathrooms or kitchen areas, we can clean them too, ensuring a spotless finish of all interior areas and surfaces.

Windows

As part of our end-of-lease cleaning, we clean your internal and external windows, up to three storeys above ground. With our specialised window cleaning technology and skills, we ensure a streak-free finish on all glass surfaces.

Whether your property has glass panels to separate rooms, floor-to-ceiling windows for displays or just a few small windows for natural light, we will leave them crystal clear.

External High-Pressure Cleaning

The cleanliness of the facade and external areas of your property will also be of importance to property managers when deciding whether to return your bond. So, we can also complete high-pressure cleaning to restore your facade, signs, and any attached outdoor work or rest areas.

Lawn Maintenance

If your property includes grassed areas, it is your responsibility to leave them well-maintained before vacating. Our commercial cleaners offer lawn maintenance services alongside our other cleaning services. During this service, we will mow and whipper-snip your lawns, leaving them short, neat and presentable.

Pest Control

If your property manager or landlord suspects that you have had pets on the property or that pests have been present, they may request that you complete a pest control service along with cleaning before returning your bond.

We can add a pest control service to your end-of-lease cleaning plan if required. During this service, we will spray for flying or crawling insects such as ants, fleas and cockroaches and implement methods to catch, eliminate and deter rodents.

Get Your Bond Back with Commercial End-of-Lease Cleaning

For the best chances of getting your bond back and leaving a good impression on your property manager or landlord, it’s important to leave your property in a clean condition. However, you don’t have to do all the cleaning yourself.Contact our commercial cleaners to schedule an inspection and free quote for an end-of-lease cleaning service and leave all the hard work to us, while you focus on moving forward into your new property or venture.

Time-Saving Commercial Cleaning Tips for Busy Business Owners

As a business owner, you have so many important things running through your mind each day. This makes it completely understandable that cleaning practices can be forgotten or pushed aside.

However, since it’s so important to keep your business clean and tidy, we wanted to help take a little of the stress out of the process. We’ve compiled a list of time-saving commercial cleaning tips that can help you keep your business in tip-top shape without all the hassle.

Encourage Clean-As-You-Go Practices

One of the best things you can do to keep spaces clean is to adopt clean-as-you-go practices and encourage your staff to do the same. Cleaning or tidying things as you use them can help to minimise the cleaning required at the end of the day or week.

This is especially useful for communal kitchens, dining areas and shared workspaces. These spaces can become very messy or dirty with so many people using them each day, but if everyone cleans up their own mess it can reduce the cleaning significantly.

Likely, many of your staff will already think this way and clean up after themselves, but a little nudge never hurts if you notice it’s not always happening. Adopting these practices (if you haven’t already) can also help to build a more respectful work culture.

Design a Simple Cleaning Routine

In addition to cleaning as you go, designing and implementing a quick and simple cleaning routine for all staff to follow can also help to save time and stress. A simple and fair chore chart that delegates small cleaning or tidying tasks around the team can help to keep your workplace clean.

Some tasks that can be added to this chart can include simple things like cleaning the coffee machine, stacking the dishwasher, tidying up clutter or paperwork, arranging shelves or giving the floor a quick vacuum and/or mop at the end of each day.

You can also add some weekly tasks that everyone can help check and complete, such as making sure the premises are tidy and no food is left out or in staff fridges at the end of the week.

These small tasks aren’t designed to overwhelm their workload, and when delegated out fairly it ensures everyone is contributing to the cleanliness of the spaces that they use. This reduces any one person’s workload and ensures that everything gets done.

Use Time-Saving Technology

To further enhance the cleanliness of your commercial space, you can invest in time-saving cleaning technology. These modern technologies are designed to streamline your workload and keep your space clean with little time and effort.

Investing in things like robot vacuums and dishwashers can work while you are so the cleaning is getting done without a second thought. While you will still need to do a deep cleaning of your floors, a robot vacuum can help to pick up the surface level dirt to keep your floors cleaner longer.
