Move Out Cleaning

Good to Know

Moving out solo or with roomies? Everyone shares the cleaning responsibility for common areas! Skip the cleaning and say goodbye to 50 € (or more) from your deposit – but let’s avoid that, shall we?

The Clean-Up Checklist 🧹

🦸‍♂️ Floors & Surfaces

Vacuum/sweep and mop all floors (don’t forget those floor lists!)
Wipe walls and doors
Show those radiators some attention (yes, even behind them!)
Clean window frames and make those switches sparkle

📦 Storage Spaces

Wipe cupboards and wardrobes (inside & out)
Don’t forget those drawers!

👨‍🍳 Kitchen Tasks

Clean stove & oven (peek behind it too!)
Tackle hood and grease filter
Fresh up fridge & freezer
- When defrosting, leave door open to prevent mold
Shine up sink, tap, and counter

🚿 Bathroom Basics

Clean taps, floor, drain, walls
Freshen up sink and cabinet
Sparkle up the toilet
Sauna too, if you’ve got one!

🏃‍♀️ Final Touches

Clear balcony/terrace (including snow in winter)
Tidy private yard if you have one
Take all trash to disposal and recycling point
Do not leave posters on the walls

🌍 Exchange Students

You may leave items in the apartment that the next tenant may find useful
Remember to leave the pillow, duvet and bed linen into your room, folded on top of the bed. The janitors will check and collect them after you have left.
Return the accessories borrowed from the recycling service back to Yliopistokatu 20 B
