Why It’s Worth Getting Your Condo Professionally Cleaned



While cleaning is a necessity of life, most will agree that it’s far from fun. Aside from the time and effort involved, there’s often a high price to pay: expensive detergents, surface cleansers, and specialized equipment — all of these costs soon add up! 

Of course, nobody wants to live in an unclean space, but occasionally, our schedules leave little room for the daily cleaning tasks required to maintain a fresh and inviting home atmosphere. If you rent your living space, it’ll probably come as little surprise that most deposit disputes between landlords and tenants are primarily caused by a property's cleanliness, but these disputes are all too easily avoided. 

Perhaps you suffer from mobility issues, or maybe you simply haven’t got the time to do more than a swift tidy-up, leaving your condo in need of a deeper cleanse. Whatever the case, if you’re struggling, it’s probably time to draft in some professional help — especially if you’re living in a rental property! Below, we’ll detail why it’s worth considering the use of a professional cleaning service in your condo. 

It’s efficient

Cleaning your home is time-consuming — especially if your living space is packed with all of the personal effects that accompany a long-term tenancy. In fact, one study recently revealed that the average American spends over an hour cleaning their house every day. 

Daily tasks aren’t the biggest issue when it comes to keeping your place tidy. After all, cleaning a few dishes or giving the kitchen surfaces a quick wipe-down takes only a few minutes. Unfortunately, other cleaning tasks are more prone to being left by the wayside. It’s something most of us have been guilty of, but for those of us who rent our living spaces, these ignored duties can quickly come back to bite us!

If you’re in the process of moving house and plan on leaving your condo soon, the tough burnt-on grease of the kitchen or the stubborn limescale lurking in the shower is probably the least of your worries. It’s far better to trust a team of hired experts to ensure your property is left squeaky clean for any new tenants who may choose to move in once you leave. This way, you can be sure you’ll secure your deposit upon your departure — some services even offer specific plans designed around meeting your landlord’s requirements. If you’re planning a move, we’d definitely recommend using a service such as Decca to bring in a local cleaner before you leave.

It will bring you peace of mind

Despite the tedious nature of cleaning, there are few greater comforts than a clean home. Recruiting a team of seasoned professionals to undertake those tiresome household tasks doesn’t just improve the look of your home — it’s great for your mental health, too. 

Having a cluttered, messy, or extremely dirty home can negatively impact your ability to focus. Researchers have discovered that people with an uncluttered and organized workplace are less irritable, less distracted, and more productive. However, as clutter builds up, the mental repercussions will escalate and messiness can quickly snowball. Occasionally, things just won't go according to plan, which is why it’s so important to have other tools on hand that can help you manage and maintain your living space if you’re prone to letting your home become disorganized.

If you’re coming to the end of your tenancy, you’ll likely be operating on a limited budget. To minimize any upfront costs, consider hiring help only for those tougher areas like the bathroom or kitchen, leaving the easier, organizational aspects of tidying for yourself. If you’re not planning on being present to supervise the cleaning, it’s also worth protecting yourself with some form of tenant insurance from a provider like Duuo. This way, if any of your valuables are damaged or stolen, you’re covered.

It’s convenient

At one point or another, we’ve all been guilty of avoiding those trickier cleaning duties. From thick coats of dust lining the top shelves of the living room to the miscellaneous detritus littering the mysterious realm hidden beneath the refrigerator — it’s tempting to ignore these awkward areas. Most people find these chores to be a minor inconvenience. But if you’re elderly or differently-abled, these jobs are practically impossible.

Fortunately, a team of professional cleaners can make light work of even the most problematic areas. Professional cleaning provides your property with a deep, thorough clean that's hard to replicate when it comes to cleaning on your own — whether it's wiping down dust on window sills, cleaning baseboards, or power brushing old dirty carpets. Industrial-grade equipment and specialized cleaning chemicals will ensure optimal results on every surface without any risk of damage.

Better yet, it’s easy to schedule regular visits, ensuring difficult areas are maintained, and preventing grime and dirt from returning. Plan a timetable that suits your lifestyle and let the experts give your condo the deep clean it deserves. Use a professional service to preserve a high standard of cleanliness in your property, and any cleaning required at the end of your tenancy should be minimal.

There’s nothing quite like a freshly cleaned home, and there’s no shame in drafting in a group of experts to make sure your condo gets the glow-up it deserves! Whether you’re planning your next move, or you’re just looking to keep your rented living space fresh and inviting, it’s worth considering the use of a professional cleaning service.
