Introduction: A Deposit On the Line
For most tenants, moving out comes with a checklist — but few things matter more than one item: getting your full deposit back.
That was the case for Sarah, a tenant in East London who had lived in her flat for over two years. Her tenancy agreement required “property returned in original condition,” and her landlord was known to be thorough — to put it mildly.
Enter: OakleyClean.
The Challenge: Two Years, One Deadline
Sarah had done her part to live responsibly, but after two years:
- Limescale had built up in the bathroom
- Kitchen grease lingered on cabinets and oven panels
- Carpet edges were dusty and dull
- Window frames and door handles showed wear
With her moving van arriving at 10 AM, she needed the flat professionally cleaned the evening before — with results that would pass even the pickiest property manager.
The OakleyClean Approach: Detail = Deposit
We responded with our End-of-Tenancy Premium Clean — designed not just for tidiness, but for compliance with landlord expectations.
Here’s what we did:
- Descaled taps, shower heads, and tiles (bathroom sparkle pass ✅)
- Deep-cleaned oven, hob, splashback, fridge interior
- Treated hard-to-reach corners and skirting boards
- Steam-sanitized carpets (no harsh chemicals used)
- Cleaned inside drawers, cabinets, and door handles
- Polished mirrors, glass panels, and floors to a high sheen
We followed a custom checklist based on her landlord’s inventory — nothing left to chance.
The Result: “Deposit Returned in Full”
Within 48 hours of the final inspection, Sarah sent us this message:
“I got my full deposit back! The landlord even asked who did the cleaning — said it was the best they’ve seen.”
That’s not just satisfaction. That’s money back in the client’s pocket.
Why This Matters
In London, average deposits range from £1,000–£2,500 — and over 50% of deductions stem from cleanliness-related issues.
OakleyClean’s end-of-tenancy service helps:
- Tenants avoid deductions
- Agents fast-track turnovers
- Landlords receive a property that’s truly ready
No cut corners. No bleach stench. Just a clean that wins.
