In short: End of tenancy cleaning costs depend on the size of the home, its condition and extras such as oven cleaning, carpet cleaning and windows. You don't have to use a professional cleaner unless it's reasonable and the home wasn't returned to the check-in standard, but a thorough clean helps you get your deposit back. Get quotes and check what's included. Use our estimator with your quotes, and the checklist if you're cleaning yourself.
