Pro Cleaning Tips for Renters | Haus Maids Chandler’s Ford
If you rent your home, you’ll know how important it is to keep it clean and tidy. Not only is it just good practice to have an organised, hygienic home, but it’s also crucial to getting your deposit back at the end of your tenancy.
With that in mind, our house cleaners in Chandler’s Ford and Eastleigh have shared some of their top tips for maintaining your living spaces. They offer top tips for making regular cleaning less of a chore and staying on top of those pesky domestic tasks.
Let’s get into it…
Make a schedule
Creating a simple checklist and assigning tasks can help lighten the mental load of everyday cleaning. Make a realistic plan to cover all your essential jobs, like emptying bins and wiping down surfaces.
Short of time? We recommend prioritising your kitchen and bathrooms, as these tend to get the dirtiest quickest. Try not to let moisture build up, as this can promote mould growth and cause structural damage.
Deep clean your carpets
Ever moved a piece of furniture and been shocked at the difference in the carpet underneath? Our floors take a lot of wear and tear, so it’s important to look after them properly to avoid them having to be replaced when you leave.
Implement a shoes-off policy in your house to minimise damage. Plus, make sure you’re regularly cleaning your carpets with steam or another suggested method for the type of fibre you have. And here’s one of our favourite cleaning tips: sprinkle some baking soda on your carpets about 15 minutes before you vacuum to keep them smelling fresh.
Don’t forget the walls…
You might not realise how dirty your walls are until you’re in the process of moving out. To avoid a panicked cleaning rush at the end of your housing contract, make a habit of adding wall cleaning to your routine. Focus on any areas where you often eat and drink, or where you might bring dirt and water in from outside.

…Or your skirting boards!
Lots of people forget about dusting their skirting boards until the last minute. It might seem a bit extra, but it really does make all the difference to the overall look of your home.
Simply take a microfibre cloth to dust along them and then follow with the brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner. If you find some stains, try a mixture of water and vinegar on a soft cloth to buff them away.
Tackle stains immediately
Speaking of stains — don’t let them linger. The most effective way to remove any stain is by tackling it as soon as it happens. Not sure where to start? We’ve shared some quick cleaning tips for removing any stain from a carpet in a recent article.
Following these steps should help you stay on top of household cleaning enough to ensure you pass any landlord inspection with flying colours. But if you don’t have much time or would rather leave your chores in the hands of trusted professionals, our Chandler’s Ford home cleaning experts can help.
