How to Prepare Your Property for Pre Tenancy Cleaning in London
Are you a landlord or letting agent in London? Learn how to prepare your property for pre tenancy cleaning to ensure a spotless, tenant-ready home. ADN Cleaning Services shares practical steps for a stress-free process.

Preparing your London property for new tenants goes beyond just a quick tidy-up. A thorough pre tenancy cleaning ensures your property looks its best, meets health standards, and leaves a great first impression on incoming tenants. But did you know there are important steps to take before your cleaners arrive?
At ADN Cleaning Services, we help landlords and letting agents avoid surprises and extra costs with a smooth pre tenancy cleaning process. Hereโs how to get your property ready:
โ 1. Clear Out Personal Items and Leftover Belongings
Before professional cleaners can work their magic, remove:
-
Furniture thatโs not part of the tenancy agreement
-
Personal dรฉcor items
-
Old toiletries, food, or cleaning products
-
Rubbish and recycling
๐ Why? Cleaners need unobstructed access to all surfaces and storage areas. Any items left behind could slow down the process or get accidentally discarded.
โ 2. Check for Maintenance Issues
Cleaning can only do so much if your property needs repairs. Inspect for:
-
Leaking taps or pipes
-
Broken tiles or grout
-
Mould patches on ceilings or walls
-
Cracked windows or damaged frames
-
Electrical issues like faulty sockets or switches
๐ Fixing these issues before cleaning ensures a safe, thorough service and prevents further damage.
โ 3. Empty and Defrost Appliances
If the property includes white goods:
-
Defrost freezers at least 24 hours in advance
-
Empty fridges, removing all food and wiping shelves
-
Clear dishwashers and washing machines of any items
๐ฝ A pre-cleared appliance allows for a deep clean inside and out.
โ 4. Secure Pets or Arrange Pet Care
If the property is still occupied with pets:
-
Keep pets away during cleaning
-
Arrange temporary care to avoid stress
๐พ Some cleaning products may not be pet-safe during the process.
โ 5. Provide Access and Instructions
Ensure your cleaning team can:
-
Access all rooms, storage areas, and utility cupboards
-
Receive clear instructions for specific areas needing extra attention
-
Have running water and electricity
๐ Access issues are the number one cause of delayed cleaning appointments.

Whether youโre a landlord preparing for new tenants or a letting agent managing multiple properties, professional pre tenancy cleaning offers huge benefits:
