HOW TO CLEAN AN APARTMENT TO RENT IT?
Before renting an apartment, it is essential to quickly refurbish it to find a tenant and ask for a better price. Here are the vital steps!
EMPTY THE APARTMENT To quickly find a tenant, you need to do all the necessary work, starting with repairing the walls. But before that, you need to empty the apartment of all the furniture and garbage present.
To empty a room, you need cardboard boxes, slipcovers, small boxes to store screws if you need to take furniture apart, and everything you need to move your furniture.
Start by getting rid of junk and all the things you don't need. Sort and store in the boxes whatever will still be useful to you. Then, make way for the furniture. After emptying them, you need to evacuate them, starting with those that cannot be taken apart like sofas.
The next step is to dismantle the furniture that does not go through the door if there is any! Remember to store the screws properly so as not to lose them. Once this step is done, you must then empty the walls. Remove mirrors, picture frames, wall shelves, etc. When everything is ready, you can now rehabilitate the walls.
REPAIR THE WALLS If your walls are in poor condition, you must do the necessary work. First and foremost, protect floors, wall lights, and anything that cannot be dismantled, including tarpaulins, plastics, etc.
You can protect baseboards, window towers, and door frames with tape. Also, don't forget to watch the wires and the various sockets in the apartment.
Then clean the walls before repairing and painting them. You need a degreasing detergent and a sponge and a fungicide and bleach if there is a mold for cleaning. After finishing cleaning, rinse with clean water and dry; then remove the nails and screws.
Now it's time to repair the wall, starting with filling the holes and cracks with plaster. First, enlarge them with a triangular scraper, then moisten them with a wet sponge so that the application adheres properly before filling them with plaster. Then smooth the filler and wait for it to dry before sanding it with sandpaper to remove any defects.
The next step is to apply a smoothing compound with a plaster knife, sand the wall with fine-grit abrasive and apply a second coat of plaster, following the same methods.
After dusting the wall and the room, the underlay should be applied from the top of the wall to the bottom with a roller. You've got to wait a few hours before applying the next coats.
DEEP CLEANING After the painting work, the last step is to thoroughly clean the floors, windows, kitchen, bathroom, parquet floors, etc. Know that it is essential to have a clean apartment before visits. You will also have a better chance of renting the apartment at a better price and faster if it is clean and well maintained.
To ensure that everything is spotless and that the apartment is immaculate, it is best to hire a cleaning company for cleaning services in Kent. This can take care of everything: disinfection, deep cleaning by injection/extraction, descaling, degreasing of surfaces, etc.
Note that to be able to rent the apartment at a better price, it is also recommended to make a little DIY and decoration to improve it.
