Move-Out Cleaning: The 3 Rooms That Decide Your Deposit
Kitchens, bathrooms, carpets — where deposit disputes are won or lost, and how to handle each.
Deposit disputes almost always come down to three rooms. Kitchen: grease is the killer — oven, extractor filter, and behind/under the fridge. Bathroom: limescale and mould on sealant read as 'damage' to agents even when it's just neglect — treat early, weeks before you leave. Carpets: professional cleaning receipts carry weight in disputes; DIY shampooing often leaves tide marks that cost more than a pro clean. Do these three to a professional standard and you've covered 90% of what agents check. Dee Spark's end-of-tenancy cleans in Birmingham cover all three rooms to check-out standard, with photos for your records.
