Spring is the time for tenants to move! Don't forget a proper clean up!

6/2/2021 (Permalink)

New York comes alive in the spring and people get MOVING!

When tenants move it is very similar to a post-construction clean-up job and it is important to make sure that your building or complex is safe, clean, and ready for tenants.

Post-construction and moving cleanups can be tricky. When moving into a new space it makes a huge difference to start with a clean slate.

We created a cleaning checklist that explains everything you need to do to complete a post-construction/tenant move-out cleanup job right.

1. Vacuum all carpets
2. Sweep or dust hard floor surfaces
3. Sponge countertops
4. Mop hard floors
5. Clean all windows
6. Wipe all mirrors
7. Clean all windowsills
8. Clean exterior lights
9. Remove paint from/clean hinges
10. Dust all handrails and banisters
11. Clean toilets (don’t forget the base & tank!)
12. Remove boxes, tape, plastic, stickers, etc
13. Clean and dust the tops and sides of doors
14. Sanitize/clean doorknobs and light switches
15. Clean cabinets inside and out
16. Dust grates and vents
17. Clean the inside of closets
18. Wipe down the interior masonry
19. Pick up trash & debris on the lawn
20. Clean all appliances (pull out and clean)
21. Wipe down tables and chairs
22. Add mats at all doors to catch outside dirt
23. Freshen up the air by opening windows
24. Empty all trash cans/recycling bins and dispose of all trash

This list should give you a good outline to start but some people would prefer to pay an expert.
