End of lease cleaning, also known as move-out cleaning, is a thorough cleaning process of your rented property before your lease agreement expires. It's often a prerequisite to receiving your full security deposit back, as most landlords require the property to be as clean as it was at the start of the tenancy.

Here's a detailed guide on what you should do for an end of lease cleaning:

1. Planning and Preparation:

   • Check your lease agreement for any specific cleaning requirements.
   • Gather all necessary cleaning supplies including brooms, mops, vacuum cleaner, cleaning solutions, gloves, sponges, and microfiber cloths.
   • Plan your cleaning either room by room or task by task.

2. Living Areas and Bedrooms:

   • Dust and wipe down all surfaces including countertops, shelves, and cabinets.
   • Vacuum or mop the floors.
   • Clean light fixtures, switches, and outlets.
   • Wipe down doors and doorknobs.
   • Clean windows and window sills.
   • If possible, steam clean carpets and curtains to remove any stains or odors.

3. Kitchen:

   • Clean the stove, oven, and range hood thoroughly. This might require a special oven cleaner for tough, baked-on grime.
   • Wipe down all countertops and cabinets, both inside and out.
   • Clean the sink and fixtures.
   • Defrost and clean the refrigerator, making sure to wipe down all shelves and compartments.
   • Clean the dishwasher, if applicable.
   • 

4. Bathroom:

   • Clean the toilet, sink, and shower or bathtub thoroughly.
   • Wipe down mirrors and any glass surfaces.
   • Clean all fixtures and fittings.
   • Mop the floor.

5. Outdoor Areas:

   • If you have a garden or yard, make sure it's neat and tidy.
   • Clean out any sheds or outdoor storage areas.
   • Sweep patios or balconies and clean any outdoor furniture.

6. Final Checks:

   • Check all rooms for any missed spots.
   • Remove all personal belongings from the property.
   • Take photographs of the cleaned property for your records.

Remember, the aim is to leave the property in the same condition it was when you first moved in. If the task seems too big, you might want to consider hiring a professional cleaning service that specializes in end of lease cleaning.
