- Oven, hob, fridge and other appliances wiped inside and out.
- Bathrooms sanitised, with limescale removed from taps, tiles and screens.
- Wardrobes and built-in storage cleaned inside.
- Skirting boards, doors, frames, handles, switches and sockets wiped.
- Windows, sills and frames wiped inside.
- Floors vacuumed and mopped throughout.
Move-in cleaning for a mix of period terraces, semis and modern flats in Dalston
Homes across Dalston are mainly a mix of period terraces, semis and modern flats. Homes here range from period terraces to modern flats, so we adapt our checklist to each property. Our teams plan each visit around the property, not a one-size-fits-all routine. We follow the agent's inventory room by room, whatever the property, so you have the best chance of getting your full deposit back.
We confirm the property type, access and parking when you book, so the right team arrives. Whether you live near Ridley Road Market or on a quiet residential street, the standard is the same.

- Leaving another rental? Book an end of tenancy clean for your old home at the same time.
- Book the clean for after you collect the keys and before your furniture arrives.
- Line kitchen drawers and shelves after the clean if you like, as everything will be dry and fresh.

Our cleaners reach Dalston using Dalston Junction and Dalston Kingsland (Overground) or by van with all equipment. Nearly all of Hackney is a controlled parking zone, so we use visitor vouchers or travel by public transport. You do not need to be at home: many customers leave a key or a lockbox code, and we message you when the clean is finished. Our move-in clean teams also work across nearby Hackney (E8), Stoke Newington (N16), Shoreditch (E1), Hoxton (N1), Homerton (E9) and Clapton (E5), so if you are moving between neighbourhoods we can clean both homes on the same day.
