Are you moving out of a rented house? Eight best tricks to make property shiny
Leaving a rental property can be stressful, especially if you want to get your deposit back in full. If your rental agreement does not specify professional cleaning, you will probably want to do the job yourself.
I recently moved out of a rented apartment and thought I would share my best cleaning tips so they shine for future tenants. I made sure that I had brought all my things to my new accommodation before I started deep cleaning so I could get to all areas.
From reviving the tile mortar to highlighting the hob, oven and taps, these are some of my tried and tested basic cleaners that I like to use.
Remove marks from walls and counters
Abbey Magic 10-pack eraser, £ 5.76
Whether you have kids who leave dirty fingerprints on the walls or stubborn food stains on kitchen countertops, these Abbey Magic erasers quickly remove stains from most surfaces. There was a turmeric stain on the kitchen counter that disappeared completely after a few wipes.
The Magic Eraser Ten Pack is also great for removing Blu-Tack marks from walls, watermarks, and more. I even used it to remove stains from kitchen tiles and cabinets.
Simply wet the sponge and wring it out, test it on an inconspicuous area before use and wipe the surface lightly. The best thing is that you don't have to use any additional cleaning agents or chemicals.
Clean the oven
Oven Brite Complete Oven Cleaner, £ 6.75
In addition to scrubbing the toilet, cleaning an oven is probably one of my least preferred tasks. However, this Oven Brite kit is very easy to use and makes the oven look like new. There is no need to scrub. However, this is a powerful product. Therefore, read the instructions carefully, wear the gloves provided and also cover your wrists and arms.
The smoke-free formula cuts fat off completely and burns food in the oven. The frames and grills are so bright and the window of the oven door glows.
Let the plate, the sink and the taps light up
Sonic Scrubber Household Washer Electric Cleaning Brush, £ 21.99
This versatile sonic washer was one of my favorite purchases of cleaning tools this year. The electric cleaning brush removes limescale from faucets, stubborn burned food and grease from ovens, and even dirt and mold from tile mortar.
It comes with four different head accessories that are suitable for a variety of tasks. These are very easy to change and change.
The swing head moves 10,000 times per minute so it does all the friction for you and is ideal if you want to get a job done quickly or suffer from arthritis. I used it with The Pink Stuff , which works wonders when cutting fat and lime. It's also only £ 1 from Wilko, so I highly recommend getting a pot.
Clean drains
Buster kitchen and bathroom drain is unlocked from € 2.50
Shortly before I moved, I noticed that the water in the shower did not drain so easily and an unpleasant smell came from one of the drains. Although the holes were sunk and the washing machine was cleaned with baking soda and white vinegar, it remained. o I decided to bring the big guns with me.
I let the Buster Bathroom Drain Unloader work overnight and it looks like it worked great because the water is now draining much faster. In the morning I poured the kitchen unlocker into the sink. It is a very strong product that warms and shines immediately when you pour it on the lid.
The smell is similar to hair dye, but was so strong that I had to leave. I strongly recommend using some kind of mask to avoid breathing vapors and gloves so that you don't burn your hands with this product.
After using both, the smell and constipation disappeared completely.
Leaves the shower doors shiny
Bath cleaning spray method, £ 3
I've been a fan of Method Wild Rhubarb all-purpose cleaner for a long time, so I decided to give this mint and eucalyptus bath spray a spin. It amazingly dissolves soap foam and limescale deposits on shower doors and grilles and cleans shower tiles and floors.
I just sprayed it on the glass and left it on for a minute or two, then I colored it with the shower and used a squeegee so that there were no traces of water or marks on the glass. Then I used a scratch-free minky microfiber cloth to dry the remaining soap and water.
Update faded tile mortar
Unibond Grout Reviver Pen, £ 4.50
The moldy tile mortar in the shower is a disgusting sight, and since it is a rental property, I didn't want to give up the mortar. Instead, I came across this nifty Unibond Grout Reviver Pen on Amazon that made it much brighter and fresher.
The innovative shape of the pen makes it uncomplicated and easy to use. Excess product can be easily wiped off the tiles with a paper towel. It also has triple protection against mold, which means that it repels, kills and prevents mold.
It dries in 60 minutes, which means you can take a shower shortly after application.
Don't be afraid of unfortunate jobs
Extra Life Oven Marigold Gloves, £ 2.50
I hate touching dirty things with my bare hands. So if I wear a pair of marigold gloves, I can really get caught.
From scrubbing the sink to cleaning the toilet, these versatile gloves are extremely durable and available in different sizes and types to get the job done.
The UK's best-selling yellow rubber gloves are difficult to split and protect your hands and nails from harsh cleaning chemicals.
Wipe and shine
Flash Powermop Starter Kit, All-in-One Dual Mop + 10 pads, now £ 22 (save £ 8)
After vacuuming, I've been using this reliable Flash Powermop for several years and it still gives great results. At a regular retail price of £ 30, this starter kit is currently available on Amazon for just £ 22. It comes with the mop, an all-in-one double spray and ten cleaning pads.
The electric mop requires four AA batteries (included in delivery) and is ready for immediate use. You can simply press a button to spray the cleaning liquid on the floor and remove dirt. The absorbent pads pick up and block dirt and grime.
A replacement spray will cost you around £ 4, but a helpful tip I learned from an online woman was to hold the bottle in boiling water for a few minutes so that it can then flip the cap over. add.
I use a top of Zoflora Very Berry Concentrated Disinfectant, mixed with water that kills bacteria, cleans the floor super effectively and makes the house smell amazing.
