Move-out cleaning checklist: room by room
A simple room-by-room list to help you leave a rental clean and ready for the next person.
Moving is busy enough. A clear list helps you leave the place clean and ready for the next person. Start with an empty home, work from top to bottom, and finish with the floors.
Before you start
- Move out all your things first. Cleaning is faster in an empty home.
- Read your lease. It may say what “clean” means for your place.
- Leave yourself more time than you think you need.
Kitchen
- Inside and outside of every cupboard and drawer
- Inside the fridge, including shelves and drawers
- Inside the oven and the stove top
- Counters, sink and taps
- Fronts of appliances and cupboard doors
Bathrooms
- Toilet, inside and out, including the base
- Tub or shower, tiles and grout lines
- Sink, taps and mirror
- Inside the vanity and medicine cabinet
Every room
- Light switches and door handles
- Window sills and baseboards
- Closets, including shelves
- Floors last: vacuum, then wash
