The date has been set, the boxes are ready and everything from the hair dryer to the dishes are packed in their respective boxes and all is set for you to start a brand new journey in a new home. Most people do not realize that the money they handed over at the beginning of their lease needs to be seen as an investment to their future and not a way to get out of cleaning once their time is up at their old home. Then there are some who wish to clean the place themselves which is all fine and dandy. They are willing to put in the time and hard work it takes to get the place clean. However in this day and age there just doesn't seem to be enough time to get all the little details that the landlord will look at and consider those mishaps an excuse not to return your security deposit.

Don't let that happen to you, you need to have a professional clean for you. After all do you really have the time to clean the tracks in the windows? Or the air vents? Maybe you forgot to wipe down the oven with the spray on “Easy Off” but could not get all the burnt stuff off. Perhaps the soap scum around the tub has left a ring you just can not get off. That is just one of the many reasons why it is an excellent idea to hire professional cleaners to take care of the cleaning once you move out. It is their job to hit all the problem spots.

They know and have the proper tools and chemicals to reach the ceiling fan to dust or get the water spots off the sliding glass door. A cleaning company sees all those details and gets the job done so that you can get your deposit money back. Think of the process like tax refunds. You already gave the money to the landlord or property manager when you first signed the lease. Most people see that as money gone and think “there is money down the drain”. And as time goes by and you find a better place to live you don't realize that the security deposit is yours with a catch. You have to make your old place look like no one ever lived there. You know how dirty the place is, you know because you lived there. But time is ticking and you want out, you want to start your new life. You could forfeit the deposit, or...
