Window treatments catch more than sunlight. They trap dust, cooking fumes, and allergens throughout your tenancy. Most tenants forget about them entirely until checkout day arrives.

We see this constantly during property handovers. Grimy blinds and stained curtains cost people money. Here’s what you actually need to know before you leave.

Your kitchen appliances work hard every single day. But when was the last time you gave them a proper deep clean? Not a quick wipe-a real scrub.

We see neglected appliances constantly in our work. The good news? Bringing them back to life isn’t complicated once you know the right approach.

Dirty walls happen. Kids, pets, cooking splashes, and just daily life leave their mark. But grabbing the wrong cloth or cleaner can turn a small smudge into a costly repaint.

We see this problem constantly in rental properties. Tenants scrub too hard, use harsh chemicals, and end up with patchy walls that cost them their deposit. Here’s how to avoid that.

Your cat or dog has been the best flatmate you could ask for. But now comes moving day, and suddenly all that shed fur and those mystery smells become a real problem.

We deal with pet-related cleaning issues weekly. The good news? Most problems are fixable. You just need to know where to look and what actually works.

Five years in one property changes things. What worked for shorter tenancies won’t cut it anymore. The buildup is different, and so are the challenges.

We see it constantly-tenants who lived somewhere for years suddenly facing problems they never expected. This guide covers what makes long tenancies unique.

Your next guests arrive in four hours. The last ones just left. Sound familiar? Running a short-term let means cleaning becomes a constant race against the clock.

Moving out soon? Your deposit hangs in the balance. Landlords and letting agents will inspect every nook and cranny-trust us, they know exactly where to look.

We’ve created this checklist from thousands of actual property handovers. Tick off each item and walk away with your money intact.

You’ve packed the boxes and booked the van. Now comes the question every tenant dreads: just how spotless does this place actually need to be?

We answer this daily. The short version? Match what you moved into. But there’s more nuance to it than that simple rule suggests.

Your tenancy ends in two weeks. The deposit matters. Now you’re stuck wondering: scrub it yourself or pay someone else to do it?

We’ve seen tenants go both ways. Some save money and nail it. Others lose hours and still face deductions. Here’s how to figure out which path suits your situation.

That deposit money sitting with your landlord? It belongs in your pocket. Yet thousands of tenants lose hundreds of pounds each year for reasons that could have been avoided.

We’ve helped countless renters recover their full deposits. This guide shares exactly what works-and what trips people up at the final hurdle.

You spent hours scrubbing the kitchen. The bathroom sparkles. Yet somehow, the landlord still found problems during checkout. Sound familiar?

We see this pattern weekly. Tenants put in genuine effort but miss the exact spots inspectors target. Here are the ten areas that catch people out most often.

That crusty white film on your taps isn’t going anywhere on its own. Limescale builds up fast in hard water areas and looks terrible if left untreated.

We deal with limescale daily in properties across Manchester. Here’s what actually works to shift it – no gimmicks, just proven methods.

Your landlord says you owe money for a worn carpet. You think that’s just normal use after three years. Who’s right? The answer lies in four words: fair wear and tear.

This phrase gets thrown around in deposit disputes constantly. Yet most tenants and even some landlords don’t fully grasp what it actually covers.

Moving day is locked in. The boxes are piling up. But when exactly should you tackle that deep clean before handing back the keys?

We get asked this question constantly. The answer depends on several factors, and getting the timing wrong can cost you money or create unnecessary stress.

Moving out already costs a fortune. Between deposits on the new place and van hire, the last thing you need is a massive cleaning bill eating into your savings.

Good news though. You can get your rental spotless without draining your bank account. It just takes some smart planning and knowing where to focus your effort.

June and July in Fallowfield mean one thing: thousands of students packing up and heading out. The M14 postcode turns into a moving frenzy every single year.
