Time is running out. The date for the landlord’s inspection is coming up. You look at the carpet in the living room and remember when you dropped pizza pieces and left muddy dog prints. Panic sets in. Will this hurt your bond? Call the Northern Beaches Spotless Carpet cleaning experts.
Most tenants don’t understand this until it’s too late: even if you’ve swept, vacuumed, and sprayed a garden’s worth of air fresheners, one small spot on the carpet might ruin your bond refund.
Those agents? They have sharp eyes. They can see every crumb and every tiny color change in the pile. You say, “Normal wear and tear!” They sigh, write something down on a clipboard, and your heart drops. It doesn’t have to be this way, though.
These people are like the Ghostbusters for tough stains. They speak bleach recipes, wave around special gadgets, and somehow turn a wine spill into a clean slate.
Jane from Dee Why relates a classic story: her child used orange juice and crayons to make an abstract art piece out of the hallway rug. She looked it up on Google, begged her friends, and attempted do-it-yourself tricks. Nothing worked. The cleaners came, took a look, and remarked, “We can handle this.” You wouldn’t know Picasso had been there an hour later.
A lot of end-of-lease contracts say that the carpets must be clean. Agents use microscopes, but not all the time. You can see things on the carpet that you can’t see in the morning sun. Grime that won’t come off, smells that stick around like barnacles, and buried pet “memories” that hit you when you least expect them. Pros will undertake steam cleaning, spot treatments, deodorizing, and they’ll even give you a written receipt. Landlords love to keep records.
If you don’t use a professional cleaning service, you could lose a lot more money than the cost of the service. One customer thought that a spray bottle and some elbow grease would work, but they ended up paying $350 for a “general cleaning fee.” Ouch.
It’s hard enough to move out. Give yourself the gift of a clean mind and a clean floor. Call someone who can look past the stain and knows what property managers want. You can give those keys to the other person and keep your whole link. As an old proverb from the Northern Beaches goes, “Better clean than sorry.”
