Declutter: Arranged end of tenancy cleaning

Arranged end of tenancy cleaning ✓

It was a little stressful planning for this, but it's arranged, they're happy to just clean everything, they gave me a breakdown, and say superficially cleaning the mold is a comparatively small extra.

It feels incredibly good that the cleaning problems with my flat are (hopefully) gone. It's amazing what you can order from the internet, and thanks to Uri David for getting them in before!

300+ for cleaning, cleaning carpets, cleaning windows, cleaning oven, and cleaning mold. I don't remember the exact breakdown.

(But my place is quite a mess. I've no idea if that's reasonable or not, but it seems like they're doing a reasonable amount of work, and a reasonable price for the amount of work they're doing. Last time they seemed very competent, and although the guy on the phone this time was a bit vague, he seemed to get everything sorted. But I think they contract out to individual cleaners to actually do the work, so it may vary.

I know some other people (rmc?) have cleaners they're very happy with too if you wanted to ask on LJ for other recommendations.)

I'm tempted to use the Big Dangerous Pressure Washer on at least my ground floor windows. And since the upstairs windows open inwards it ought to be possible to clean those with bucket and sponge. I should probably do that some decade soon…

I'm not sure it's worth cleaning my carpets before they get replaced. (-8

Conversely, my place is a three-bedroom house rather than a flat.

So probably the overall cost would be about the same. Which is useful to know, thanks!
