When it’s time to vacate your commercial office and/or warehouse, a thorough vacate clean is crucial to ensure the full return of your bond. In this blog, we’ll delve into the checklist PetraClean employs for vacate cleans in commercial spaces.
Item 1: Windows
External windows: Stains, smudges, and discolorations are highly noticeable on glass windows. Ensure both internal and external glass is impeccably cleaned.
Fascia and soffits: While outside, clean building fascias and soffits, especially on light-colored structures.
Fly and security screens: Perform a deep clean to eliminate dust, dirt, and insects from fly and security screens.
Track and sills: Thoroughly clean the tracks and sills of windows, which are hotspots for dust and critters.
Office partitions: Glass office partitions, though not traditional windows, require careful cleaning similar to external windows.
Item 2: Floors
Carpets: Invest in a full commercial steam clean and extraction for carpets. Remove stains and restore carpets to their original condition.
Vinyl: Restore vinyl flooring with vacuuming, treatment, mop, and potentially a strip and seal treatment for a long-lasting protective finish.
Tile: Use an industrial-strength degreaser to remove dirt, grease, and grime from tiles. Wet vacuum tiles for a fresh, clean look.
Concrete: For warehouse concrete floors, use a commercial-grade degreaser followed by manual scrubbing to lift dirt and stains.
Item 3: Bathrooms
Toilets, showers, and basins: Perform a full commercial clean to remove stains, limescale, or soap scum build-up.
Walls and floors: If tiled, walls and floors need a comprehensive clean similar to the floor cleaning process mentioned earlier.
Item 4: Kitchens
Fridge and appliances: Deep clean the fridge, paying attention to seals. Other appliances require a thorough, degreasing clean.
Fittings: Deep clean and sanitise sinks, taps, drain outlets, and other fixtures.
Cupboards: Empty, dust, and deep clean cupboards to remove stains.
Item 5: Walls
Brick or plaster: Scrub down walls to remove any marks or stains, providing a clean canvas for potential painting.
Item 6: High cleaning
Air conditioner units, vents, light fixtures: Deep clean high areas, removing cobwebs and any residue.
Ceilings: Use industrial-grade cleaners and proper scrubbers to remove heavy grease and staining, common in businesses with machinery.
Item 7: Furniture
Desks, chairs, couches: Restore leased furniture to its original condition by removing stains and soiling. Upholstery wet vacuum clean with spot-tested chemicals for fabric furniture.
