End of lease cleaning can be a stressful process, but Ovenu takes care of one of the toughest tasks – cleaning the oven and other kitchen appliances.
Specialising in oven cleaning, we also offer services for range ovens, cooktops, BBQs, built-in appliances, AGA cleaning, and end-of-lease oven cleaning, ensuring your appliances are spotless and ready for inspection.
For landlords, keeping all areas of the property clean is essential to make a strong first impression and maintain long-term value. For tenants, it’s important that the rental property is left in a good condition to secure a bond return and a stress-free transition.
Our professional oven technicians are armed with years of experience, knowledge, and specialist eco-friendly products to leave your rental exactly as you found it.
Why End-of-Lease Cleaning Matters
Firstly, end of lease cleaning is often a way to fulfil contractual obligations and secure a full bond refund. Landlords and property managers often perform detailed inspections of rental properties to check that they’ve been left in a good condition by outgoing tenants.
Focusing on high-use areas like the oven, fridges, bathroom, and carpets can make the most impact. Although it’s best to be thorough with cleaning across the entire property, as even a minor oversight could lead to a loss of bond.
Giving the property a thorough end of lease clean is also advised to help tenants maintain a good reputation, as it shows respect for the property.
The landlord will probably give you a good reference if you make the effort to leave it in a good condition as opposed to a dirty one. This can be useful when you’re looking for a new place to rent in the future.
Finally, bond cleaning is important for landlords to attract quality tenants. The rental sector can be difficult to navigate for landlords when they have to contend with tenants coming and going throughout the year.
By using professional end of lease oven cleaning services, the property can be presented in an outstanding condition to make it as attractive as possible. Hopefully this will encourage people to live in the property long term.
Comprehensive End-of-Lease Cleaning Checklist
Below is a list of the key areas within a rental property which might require cleaning during and at the end of a lease.
Kitchen Cleaning
Kitchen spaces frequently build up with hard-to-clean mess in the form of food, packaging, grease, and spills, all of which can be fused to surfaces from heat. These surfaces can include:
- Cooktop Cleaning
- Range hoods
- AGA Oven Cleaning
- Counter tops
- Kitchen cupboards
- Tiles
- Windows
- Ovens and other appliances
At Ovenu, our speciality is cleaning your oven, and we do a real thorough service of your oven to ensure it is ready for your end of lease. We remove baked-on grease, carbon deposits, and odours, restoring your oven to near-new condition.
When the end of the lease comes around, every effort should be made to make the property as clean and tidy as possible for new tenants. The oven and general state of the kitchen should therefore be comparable to its condition at the start of the lease.
Bathroom Cleaning
Keeping bathrooms clean requires regular maintenance which most people simply don’t have time, or the incentive, to do in a rental property. Over time, limescale and grime can accumulate around outlets and across surfaces. The affected areas typically include:
- Sinks
- Taps
- Showerheads
- Tiles
- Grouting
- Mirrors
- Toilets
- Bath tub
Living Spaces
Communal living spaces are often hot spots for dust, food spills, and other kinds of dirt. It’s recommended that these areas receive extra attention when cleaning, such as vacuuming and spot-cleaning carpets, dusting light fixtures, skirting boards, and furniture. Specialised cleaning may be required for windows, walls, and air vents.
Outdoor Areas
If the rental property has outdoor areas such as a patio or garden, these should also be addressed during end of lease cleaning. This will likely include washing exterior windows and patio surfaces. Depending on the time of year and the time since the last clean, entryways might also have to be cleared and light fixtures cleaned.
Why Ovenu is Your Oven Cleaning Expert
When it comes to oven cleaning, do-it-yourself (DIY) methods like baking soda and vinegar rarely clean all areas of the oven to the required standard. When landlords and property agents come to check the oven during end of lease inspections, any residue left behind by subpar cleaning will be picked up on.
For the toughest grease and grime, you need to enlist seasoned professionals who have the knowledge, skills, and equipment necessary to clean any oven to a high standard. We’ll make sure you get your bond refund in full.
Ovenu technicians have access to our range of patented eco-friendly cleaning products. These products can’t be found anywhere else! Each of which have been formulated for maximum cleaning effectiveness, whilst remaining flexible and safe to use.
We don’t use any caustic soda so there’s no need to worry about these products coming into contact with the skin. Our range of products includes:
- Heavy-duty degreaser
- Degreasing liquid
- Carbon remover
- Stainless steel cleaner and polish
Choosing Ovenu to support your end of tenancy oven cleaning duties means choosing reliability and excellence. We’ll help you maintain a clean cooking environment and contribute to the general upkeep of the property.
More Than Just Oven Cleaning
While Ovenu’s expertise lies in ovens, we understand that there are many options for cooking food besides using an oven. Fortunately, our technicians are equipped with the skills and knowledge to tackle cleaning a range of cooking appliances. This includes the following end of lease cleaning services:
An overused BBQ that’s rarely cleaned not only looks and smells bad, but it can also pose a significant health risk. To keep this essential bit of kit free from burnt food scraps and old grease, get a technician to deep clean the BBQ and restore it to a brand new appearance. This is the best way to make sure new tenants have access to a BBQ that cooks delicious food safely.
Built-in stove and microwave cleaning
If there’s an oven or microwave inside a cupboard or above drawers in the kitchen, this is what we call a ‘built-in’ appliance. Our technicians can clean these ovens and microwaves just as easily as any other freestanding oven type, taking care to protect surrounding kitchen surfaces.
A very frequently used cooking appliance, the cooktop is also one of the trickiest to clean. When it’s used day in and day out, food waste and grime can build up quickly in hard-to-reach places.
Enlisting professional cooktop cleaning services helps maintain the heating efficiency of the cooktop and extend its lifespan across multiple lease periods.
Additional cleaning services that can be beneficial at the end of a tenancy period include:
- Deep-cleaning carpets or carpet steam cleaning – gets rid of any stains which can’t be removed using basic cleaning methods.
- Polishing windows – dirt and grime often gets built up on windows over time, obscuring views and leaving streaks when cleaned with regular products.
- Ensuring light fixtures, switches, and fans are free of dust – this makes a big difference to the overall cleanliness of rental properties between lease periods.
What to Expect from Ovenu’s Service
With Ovenu, you can expect a thorough and efficient cleaning process that is flexible to suit your needs. Our fully insured technicians will remove and clean each piece of your oven individually, including the oven racks and oven glass door.
While these parts are soaking, your technician will perform a deep clean on the interior and exterior of the oven to remove carbon build-up, grime, and baked-on fat.
Cleaning on your schedule
As a landlord or tenant, you often need cleaning work to be done at short notice and outside of regular working hours. Ovenu Technicians are often only a short distance away and happy to arrange a suitable time and date for the job.
Effective eco-friendly cleaning products
Ovenu patented oven cleaning products have been specially developed using formulas designed to cut through heavy grease and be environmentally friendly. This means the use of Ovenu products has none of the safety risks you’d typically see with other commercial cleaning products or DIY methods.
Polished finish
Parts removed from the oven are individually rinsed, dried, and polished before reassembly. Then the entire unit is given a final polish to make sure your oven looks as though it was just installed.
