Move-In / Move-Out Cleaning Checklist for Gurgaon Tenants

The move-out checklist that protects the deposit

Landlords photograph four things at handover: the kitchen grease and chimney, bathroom scale on glass and tiles, skirtings and wall marks, and the floor after furniture has been dragged out. A move-out deep clean (from ₹1,999, typically ₹4,500–₹5,500 for a 2 BHK) covers all four, and the dated room-by-room photo log travels with you to the inspection. Book it for the morning the flat empties and inspect the same afternoon.

Move-in: clean before the van, not after

The week between handover and the shifting van is the only window where the flat is empty and every corner is reachable once. Cement film on new-build floors, sawdust in cabinets, sticker residue on glass — the pre-shift reset handles those; the normal deep clean then works around your furniture instead of under it. Booking the reset first is cheaper in both money and effort.

• Kitchen full-soak: chimney, hob, cabinets, tiles
• Bathroom descale: glass, tiles, fittings
• Skirtings, sockets, door frames wiped
• Floor machine-scrub after furniture leaves
• Dated photo log per room, free with the booking

The tenancy-document habit

Keep the photo log, the invoice and the walkthrough record together for the whole tenancy. If a deposit dispute reaches the landlord or a consumer forum, those three documents are the difference between a deduction and a refund — and a cleaning service that photographs every room as standard is one whose records you can actually use.

Same-day and weekend slots

Weekend and evening slots exist for the flat that is emptying on a Friday: book before noon for a same-day or next-day move-out clean in most of Gurgaon. The price does not change on weekends — the card is the card on a Thursday and a Sunday. WhatsApp +91 95607-39281 with the BHK and the handover date and the fixed figure returns on the call, with the photo log promised before payment.

What Gurgaon landlords actually deduct for

• Chimney and kitchen grease — the most common single deduction
• Bathroom scale left on glass, tiles and fittings
• Skirting and wall marks hidden behind furniture until it moves
• Floor condition once beds and wardrobes are dragged out
• Wardrobe interiors and cabinet shelves left dusty under stored items

Every item on that list sits inside a standard move-out clean, which is why the photo log matters as much as the cleaning itself. Dated pictures of each room, taken the same afternoon, turn the handover conversation from memory versus memory into a record both sides can point at. Book the clean for the morning the flat empties and inspect the same afternoon — that leaves room for a touch-up before the landlord walks through.

The 48-hour handover plan

Day one, morning: the last of the furniture leaves and the clean begins — kitchen and bathrooms first, floors last so nothing is walked back in. Day one, evening: a room-by-room walkthrough against the checklist, photos taken, any touch-up noted and fixed. Day two, morning: the landlord inspection, the deposit conversation held with the photo log open on the table. If the handover falls on a weekday, book the clean a day early — month-end weekend slots are the fastest to disappear, because that is when most Gurgaon tenancies turn over.
