where the clients go ahead and do the

play03:09

laundry if we turn over to the right

play03:12

here we have the kitchen area we already

had the management

play03:18

pull out the oven for us as well as the

damage the floors okay we at no point

play03:31

want to mess up anybody's floors

play03:34

now here you can see the main room this

play03:37

is going to be the living dining room

play03:39

area

play03:40

we have some lighting set up because

play03:42

we're doing some videos today but

play03:43

normally this wouldn't be here off to

play03:46

the right we have a bedroom

play03:50

okay a closet a walk-in closet

play03:58

and one of the bathrooms so this

play04:01

bathroom has a shower

play04:05

and a toilet

play04:07

and then we're gonna walk to the other

play04:09

side of the apartment so this is a two

play04:12

bedroom two bathroom apartment you guys

play04:14

here we just have a little

play04:17

closet for the towels that we're sure to

play04:19

clean out and another full bathroom now

play04:23

this bathroom has

play04:26

a bathtub

play04:29

now a lot of these apartments are left

play04:31

in shambles because not everybody

play04:33

regularly cleans their homes right

play04:36

and now here is the second bedroom

play04:40

so this is the apartment that we are

play04:43

going to be cleaning from top to bottom

play04:47

all right you guys so here we are in a

play04:50

full bathroom for a move-in move out

play04:51

cleaning this is a very detailed clean

play04:54

so you want to make sure that you don't

play04:55

miss any of these steps or items now the

play04:58

very first thing that we're going to be

play04:59

doing is doing the high dusting so be

play05:01

sure to make sure there are no vents or

play05:04

any cobwebs that are meeting up in the

play05:07

corner where the ceiling meets the wall

play05:09

now the Second Step would be cleaning or

play05:13

rather prepping this disgusting shower

play05:16

so the first thing you would want to do

play05:17

is you know spray down the shower with

play05:19

some product let it work in we're going

play05:21

to be scrubbing the walls scrubbing the

play05:24

shower head scrubbing the inside of just

play05:28

the entirety of this shower the floor of

play05:30

course and of course working on these

play05:32

super disgusting

play05:35

shower doors right these have a lot of

play05:37

soap scum they're moldy so we're

play05:39

definitely going to get to that now

play05:41

while you can actually let this prep

play05:43

before cleaning it I would say go ahead

play05:45

and make sure to clean the toilet right

play05:47

so we spray this down with some bathroom

play05:49

cleaner you know use all the right tools

play05:52

and make sure to always get behind and

play05:54

on the sides of the toilet

play05:57

now the next step or area that I would

play05:59

be cleaning on this bathroom would be of

play06:02

course to not forget any of the light

play06:05

switches the outlets

play06:08

and of course the baseboards okay the

play06:11

baseboards are really important so are

play06:13

the light switches and the outlets you

play06:15

guys now we're going to move on to the

play06:17

sink area okay so what we were going to

play06:19

do first is make sure to clean and dust

play06:21

that light off we're going to properly

play06:23

clean this really really gross mirror

play06:26

right here as you can see there's a lot

play06:28

of splatter next is going to be the sink

play06:32

area we're going to clean this whole

play06:34

sink top make sure to get all of this

play06:36

dust debris and dirt off of here and

play06:39

then we're gonna head to these cabinets

play06:41

so we actually vacuum out all of the

play06:43

drawers and the cabinets and then we go

play06:45

back in and we wet wipe them okay so we

play06:48

wet wipe them and of course we clean you

play06:51

know the ridges and the front as well

play06:55

and that leaves us with the floors then

play06:58

which we vacuum using our HEPA vacuums

play07:01

and we spin mop and let dry and exit the

play07:05

room the cleaning family if you guys are

play07:07

interested in learning all there is to

play07:09

know about move-in move out cleanings

play07:11

for luxury apartment buildings and

play07:13

multi-family housing units then be sure

play07:16

to check out my new online course I will

play07:19

be dropping a link for this course in

play07:21

the description of this video

play07:24

now here we have a walk-in closet the

play07:27

closet absolutely has to be clean every

play07:29

item or room area in the home is going

play07:32

to get cleaned so as you can see this

play07:34

closet has a lot of different shelving

play07:36

so we will be doing the high dusting

play07:39

first making sure you know there are no

play07:41

cobwebs we're going to be cleaning out

play07:43

all of the cabinets and of course doing

play07:46

all the baseboards and the outlets and

play07:49

then of course vacuuming this floor

play07:51

hey cleaning family so here we are in a

play07:55

bedroom and I'm going to give you the

play07:56

steps for you not to miss when doing a

play07:59

move-in move out cleaning now we always

play08:01

like to start from top to bottom left to

play08:04

right and that's because there's

play08:05

something called gravity right so it

play08:08

makes sense to do anything up top first

play08:11

so now what we would be doing is doing

play08:13

the dusting where the wall meets the

play08:15

ceiling around the entire room we would

play08:17

then be grabbing our three-step ladder

play08:19

and cleaning this stand right here above

play08:22

using some microfiber rags and a pH

play08:24

neutral cleaner to wipe every single fan

play08:27

blade we want to make sure we don't

play08:29

leave any dust or debris behind now what

play08:32

is next you ask well if we're working

play08:34

from top to bottom that would bring us

play08:36

to our Windows right so what we do is we

play08:39

just clean the inside of the windows we

play08:42

give a little wipe over here to where

play08:44

you know another part of the window

play08:46

where you'd see some dirt and dust we do

play08:49

clean the inside of the glass and then

play08:51

we go ahead

play08:52

and we lift the window and we actually

play08:55

vacuum this out and then wet wipe it so

play08:58

we're going to go ahead and close this

play08:59

for now now the next step since we've

play09:02

done all the high items would be the

play09:05

next level of height so we would then be

play09:07

cleaning off all of the light switches

play09:10

in the room and from the light switches

play09:12

we're going to go ahead and clean all of

play09:15

the outlets okay there are multiple

play09:17

outlets in this room and you don't want

play09:18

to forget any of them and then one of

play09:20

the last steps would be to dust and wet

play09:23

wipe the baseboards okay the baseboards

play09:25

are very important

play09:27

that leaves us with the floor because we

play09:30

have carpeting on this floor all we're

play09:33

going to have to do is vacuum and then

play09:35

shut the lights off and close the door

play09:37

and move on to our next area

play09:40

now because the front door of the

play09:44

apartment is over here we went ahead and

play09:47

completed the bedroom and the bathroom

play09:49

on the right side now hypothetically

play09:52

speaking you could have picked either

play09:54

the right or the left side because we do

play09:56

clean out of the home at all times think

play10:00

of a home as a Tetris game you always

play10:02

want to start from the furthest point

play10:04

and clean your way out of the room so

play10:06

moving from this one bedroom and

play10:08

bathroom we would then be going ahead

play10:10

and cleaning that bedroom and bathroom

play10:13

on the other side of the apartment only

play10:15

leaving a rectangular section left to

play10:18

clean which is the living room and

play10:20

dining room area right here

play10:24

as you can see and

play10:27

the kitchen area behind me after we're

play10:30

gonna do the kitchen you follow me

play10:34

we're going to go ahead and clean out

play10:37

this closet right here

play10:39

okay from top to bottom cleaning off the

play10:42

cabinets cleaning off the baseboards

play10:44

vacuuming and mopping and the very last

play10:46

area of cleaning this apartment would be

play10:48

this laundry room

play10:50

here we are in the laundry room you guys

play10:52

and you know the very first step is

play10:53

going to be what high dusting so after

play10:56

we do the high dusting the next step is

play10:59

going to be getting our three-step

play11:00

ladder and getting up top here and

play11:03

actually vacuuming and or wet wiping

play11:06

this uh cabinet piece right and we're

play11:09

also going to make sure to wipe this off

play11:10

and then eventually stainless steel

play11:12

polish it anything that's stainless

play11:14

steel always gets polished after the

play11:16

initial cleaning now as you can see over

play11:18

here we have a water heater okay and

play11:20

this has a bunch of dirt and debris so

play11:22

we're going to wipe this down as well

play11:24

and vacuum the base of that here we have

play11:27

our washing machines and dryers and yes

play11:30

these do need to be cleaned so with the

play11:32

dryer you want to make sure to pull out

play11:34

the filter you know vacuum all this dust

play11:38

and lint and then go ahead and wash this

play11:40

actually hand wash this in the sink now

play11:43

these are pretty simple to clean because

play11:45

all we do really is vacuum and wet wipe

play11:48

the top and the side of the dryer fire

play11:50

inside we do a little quick vacuum and a

play11:54

little quick wet wipe of the unit

play11:56

now sometimes these can be a little bit

play12:00

more difficult with the washing machines

play12:01

and I'll tell you why aside from

play12:03

vacuuming and cleaning you know wet

play12:05

wiping this uh unit from the outside

play12:08

come here you'll see that there are dirt

play12:12

and particles stuck all along here I

play12:15

suggest using a really warm wet rag with

play12:19

some Dawn soap and that'll help get some

play12:21

of the grease off if not you can use a

play12:23

Degreaser now in here in the actual

play12:26

washing machine yes they do require for

play12:28

us to clean it so we do a quick vacuum

play12:30

and a quick wet wipe with a microfiber

play12:33

Rag and possibly Degreaser I have no

play12:35

idea how this family got grease in their

play12:37

washing machine but they did now this is

play12:40

a main focus point that you do want to

play12:42

pay attention to this is a detergent cup

play12:44

and this has to be removed okay now

play12:49

there is a bunch of Caked Up and old

play12:51

detergent in there all we do is allow

play12:54

really hot water to kind of

play12:58

you know rinse through it to get a

play13:00

majority of the leftover detergent out

play13:03

and then down here in this cup we also

play13:06

take a rag and wipe out all of that

play13:09

nastiness now after we're done cleaning

play13:12

all of the surfaces and doing all of our

play13:14

high dusting we're going to go ahead and

play13:17

wipe down anything

play13:19

um you know any of the light switches

play13:20

and of course the outlets and then that

play13:24

brings us to the baseboards and then of

play13:27

course vacuuming and mopping the floor

play13:32

hey guys so now we are in the kitchen

play13:34

and normally this is the toughest room

play13:38

to clean after the bathrooms because

play13:41

they are so highly used people cook in

play13:43

here people gather and eat right so I

play13:47

want to tell you everything that you

play13:49

guys need to clean when doing a move-in

play13:51

move out cleaning in a kitchen so the

play13:54

very first thing we're going to start

play13:55

with as I have mentioned before in every

play13:57

other room is the high dusting we're

play13:59

going to make sure we don't have any

play14:00

cobwebs around the perimeter of the room

play14:02

or any of the events above now the next

play14:07

thing that we would do in the kitchen is

play14:09

actually go ahead and get on top of

play14:14

these cabinets right so we usually use a

play14:17

three-step ladder

play14:18

but I just want to can I see that I just

play14:21

want to show you guys what the top of

play14:22

these cabinets look like

play14:25

so these happen to not be super greasy

play14:30

but yeah it's got a little bit so we're

play14:32

gonna go ahead and degrease the top of

play14:35

all of these cabinets because nobody

play14:38

wants to move into this right and then

play14:40

the very next step would be cleaning

play14:43

inside every single cabinet so the

play14:46

cabinets are going to be after the high

play14:48

dusting again we're going to do the top

play14:50

of the cabinets and we're going to do

play14:52

the inside of the cabinets now if

play14:54

they're really really dirty and have a

play14:56

lot of food I normally have my team go

play14:58

ahead and vacuum these out first and

play15:01

then wet wipe them with a microfiber Rag

play15:03

and some neutral pH cleaner we do not

play15:06

want to forget the ledges

play15:08

okay we don't want to forget the inside

play15:11

and of course we do not want to forget

play15:14

the outside of all of these cabinets now

play15:18

after we complete doing the top the

play15:21

inside and the outside of all the

play15:24

cabinets we are going to be cleaning

play15:27

the microwave okay so we're going to

play15:29

clean the microwave inside and out as

play15:32

you can see there is some food splatter

play15:34

you know typical microwave stuff

play15:38

if you're interested in learning on how

play15:40

to win year-long contracts with property

play15:42

management companies that will help to

play15:45

add to your cleaning company's bottom

play15:47

line then be sure to check out my new

play15:49

move-in move out online cleaning course

play15:51

in the description of this video we go

play15:53

over how to understand who your ideal

play15:55

client is how to Market to them how to

play15:58

win proposals how to properly clean and

play16:01

actually maintain that relationship so

play16:03

that you have that contract for years to

play16:05

come I'm going to go ahead and clean the

play16:07

backsplash and again it's because we are

play16:09

cleaning from top to bottom so we're

play16:11

going to go ahead and degrease and clean

play16:13

all of the backsplash around this

play16:15

kitchen it is a little crowded right now

play16:17

the after the backsplash would be the

play16:20

countertops next right so we'll vacuum

play16:22

these because these are super Dusty

play16:24

we'll scrub them and then we will dry

play16:26

them down now moving forward or the next

play16:30

step is going to be doing the bottom

play16:32

cabinets okay so we're going to open all

play16:35

of the drawers we're going to vacuum

play16:38

them out wet wipe them out as I

play16:40

mentioned and do the same for the

play16:42

cabinets right we're going to clean all

play16:45

of this out clean the front clean the

play16:47

back of them and then we're going to be

play16:49

moving on to the dishwasher so we do

play16:53

clean the inside and the outside of the

play16:55

dishwasher now there's usually a little

play16:58

filter down there at the bottom so if

play17:00

you can access that make sure to pull

play17:02

that out and clean it of all the

play17:04

and the gunk

play17:05

and then after we do the dishwasher

play17:08

we're going to go ahead and move on to

play17:10

the stove area so first we would go

play17:13

ahead and vacuum and mop behind this

play17:15

stove this is why the management pulled

play17:17

it out because they want us to vacuum

play17:19

and mop and then we would go ahead and

play17:21

push this unit forward now after pushing

play17:24

this unit forward we're going to go

play17:26

ahead and clean the top of the stove

play17:29

make sure to take the grates apart take

play17:31

these little pieces off and then we're

play17:33

going to get into the oven now I didn't

play17:36

mention this in the beginning of the

play17:37

video so I will say this now you should

play17:40

absolutely spray the oven down when you

play17:42

first walk in because the easy offer

play17:44

oven off does take about an hour to work

play17:47

now we sprayed this down a day prior and

play17:49

we will be adding a little bit more

play17:51

product before we get to cleaning this

play17:54

stove now that we're done with the stove

play17:57

we're going to move on to the

play17:58

refrigerator okay so as you can see the

play18:01

refrigerator has almost been completely

play18:04

emptied we have one lunch Bowl here

play18:07

but that's fine and what I tell my

play18:10

teammates to do

play18:11

my cleaning technicians is to take a

play18:14

photo of both the refrigerator and the

play18:16

freezer because

play18:18

there have been so many times where we

play18:20

did not remember how to put a

play18:22

refrigerator or a freezer door back and

play18:26

it's become a problem so we absolutely

play18:28

100 percent want to take photos that way

play18:31

we can remember how to put the unit back

play18:33

together so we do clean both the

play18:36

refrigerator and the freezer we take

play18:38

every single little piece of these off

play18:41

to be washed in the sink okay so first

play18:44

we remove everything after taking those

play18:46

photos we have somebody Washing parts in

play18:48

the sink while somebody cleans the

play18:51

actual inside of the unit okay and we're

play18:54

also going to dry everything off put

play18:57

everything back in the unit and clean on

play19:00

top of the refrigerator make sure to

play19:03

dust wipe do what you need to to clean

play19:05

the top of the fridge and then of course

play19:07

we're going to finish off by polishing

play19:09

all of the stainless steel in the

play19:11

kitchen and the final

play19:13

part of cleaning the kitchen would then

play19:16

be HEPA vacuuming the floors and mopping

play19:19

them as well

play19:21
