Move-out and move-in cleaning

End of tenancy cleaning in Cyprus

Hand back a rental in the condition you received it, or start a new lease in a home that has been cleaned properly. Independent cleaners in Limassol, Nicosia, Larnaca, and Paphos list Move-in/out as a specialty. Send them the inventory or your check-in photos, agree a flat quote, and time the clean around the key handover.

  • The clean follows what landlords and letting agents check at move-out, starting with the oven, bathroom limescale, and the inside of cupboards.
  • Dated photos of each room after the clean give you a record to set beside the check-in inventory.
  • With the furniture gone, the cleaner can reach every cupboard, every wardrobe, and the floor behind the fridge and washing machine.

What landlords and agents check at move-out

Inspections usually start in the kitchen and bathroom, where grease and limescale are easy to spot. Put these at the top of the cleaner's list.

  • Oven, hob, and extractor hood degreased, racks and trays cleaned, and the fridge and freezer emptied, defrosted if needed, and wiped dry inside.
  • Bathrooms descaled: taps, shower screen, tiles and grout, the toilet including its base, plus the washing machine drawer and door seal if the machine belongs to the landlord.
  • Inside every kitchen cupboard, wardrobe, and drawer, then skirting boards, doors, light switches, window interiors, tracks, sills, and fly screens.
  • Verandas and balconies swept and washed where the building allows, and AC filters rinsed so the next tenant does not start with a year of dust.
2/4Records

Deposits, inventories and photos

What happens to your deposit depends on your tenancy agreement, so read its cleaning clause before you plan anything. This is general guidance, not legal advice.

  • Find the check-in inventory or the photos you took when you moved in. Many agreements ask for the property back in the same condition, allowing for normal wear.
  • Ask the cleaner for dated photos when they finish: the oven, the fridge, each bathroom, open cupboards, and every room from the doorway.
  • Cleaning does not cover repairs. Burns on worktops, chipped tiles, holes from picture hooks, and faded paint are matters to settle with the landlord.
  • Landlords and agents arranging the clean between tenants can share the inventory with the cleaner, so the finished standard matches what the next tenant signs for.
3/4Timing

Timing the clean around key handover

The right window is after the last box leaves and before the final inspection. Plan it alongside the removal company and the landlord or agent.

  • Have the removal van in the morning and the cleaner from early afternoon, or leave a full day between them for a house with a garden and verandas.
  • Hold the final inspection the day after the clean, and ask the cleaner whether they will come back to fix anything the agent flags before the keys go back.
  • Check the building's rules on lift use and parking during moves, and tell the cleaner where they can unload a vacuum, ladder, and buckets.
  • Keep electricity and water connected until the clean is done. Closing the EAC account a day early leaves the cleaner with no lights, no hot water, and no power for a vacuum.
4/4Empty property

Why an empty home cleans faster

With no furniture and no boxes, nothing is in the way. That is why a move-out clean is priced like a deep clean but often takes less time than one in a lived-in home.

  • Floors can be washed wall to wall, including the strips under beds, sofas, and wardrobes where dust and lost items collect over the length of a tenancy.
  • Wardrobes and kitchen units can be cleaned on every shelf at once, with no need to empty, stack, and refill them while the cleaner works.
  • For a move-in clean, ask for kitchen cupboards, wardrobes, the fridge, toilets, and shower heads to be done before you unpack anything.
  • Agents letting several flats in Limassol or Nicosia can agree one checklist and a price per apartment size with a single cleaner and reuse it between tenancies.

Service packages

Use these as reference starting points from cleaners on the marketplace. Adjust scope, visit length, and pricing directly with the cleaner. Cyprus Cleaners does not provide cleaning services.

Frequently asked questions

How much is end of tenancy cleaning in Limassol?

Cleaners on the marketplace quote end of tenancy cleans as a flat price, usually in line with a deep clean of an empty home. As a reference, a studio or one-bedroom apartment starts from around €120, and larger flats and houses are quoted after photos or a short visit. Limassol rates tend to sit at the upper end of the island's range, so ask two or three cleaners.

Will an end of tenancy clean get my deposit back?

No cleaner can promise that. Deposit deductions depend on your tenancy agreement and can cover damage as well as cleaning. A thorough clean deals with the points an inspection looks at, such as a greasy oven, limescale, dusty cupboards, and dirty windows. Compare the finished home with your check-in photos and keep the cleaner's dated photos in case a question comes up later.

How long does a move-out clean take?

An empty one-bedroom apartment usually takes one cleaner three to five hours. Two or three bedrooms, or a house with verandas, often needs two cleaners for most of a day. Allow extra time if the oven was never cleaned during the tenancy, if the fridge still needs defrosting, or if the property has stood empty and dusty for weeks.

Should the clean happen before or after the removal van?

After. Moving furniture brings in grit and leaves dust and scuffs on the floors, and the cleaner needs to reach the space under beds and wardrobes. A simple order is removal van, then the end of tenancy clean, then the final inspection and key handover. If the two must overlap, ask the cleaner to start in the kitchen and bathrooms while the last rooms are emptied.

Can the clean go ahead if I have already left Cyprus?

Yes, as long as someone can let the cleaner in. Leave keys with the agent or in a key box, agree the checklist in writing, and ask for photos of each room when the work is finished. Tell the agent or landlord who is coming and when, so access is not refused on the day, and settle how you will pay the cleaner before you fly.
