Moving day is looming, boxes are filling every corner, and amidst the packing chaos, a daunting reality creeps in: the move-out cleaning. Fear not, intrepid Casapreppers! With a strategic plan and these handy tips, you can tackle that cleaning beast and waltz out with your deposit firmly in hand.

1. Plan Like a Pro:

• Checklist Cha-Cha: Before a single sponge hits the sink, grab a detailed move-out cleaning checklist (Casaprep has a fantastic one!). This keeps you organized, ensures you don't miss anything, and helps prioritize tasks.
• Schedule Savvy: Divide the cleaning into manageable chunks over several days. Start with large spaces like the kitchen and bathrooms, and leave "quick hits" like floors and windows for closer to moving day.

2. Deep-Clean Champions:

• Kitchen Conquerors: Defrost and clean the fridge, oven, and stovetop.Don't forget the drip pans, exhaust fan,and cabinet interiors. Tackle greasy grime with baking soda paste or degreaser.
• Bathroom Blitz: Scrub toilets,bathtubs, and showers with disinfectant. Shine mirrors and chrome fixtures, and don't neglect tile grout or the space behind the toilet.
• Living Room Legends: Dust ceiling fans, light fixtures, and baseboards.Wipe down walls and doors, and don't forget window sills and blinds. Vacuum and mop floors thoroughly.

3. Detail Detectives:

• Nail the Little Things: Remove picture frame nails, fill in holes, and touch up paint if needed. Clean light switches,doorknobs, and air vents. These small details make a big impact!
• Appliance Aficionados: Wipe down appliances inside and out, including behind and underneath them. Don't forget to empty and clean the dishwasher filter.

4. Bonus Hacks for Deposit Delight:

• Take Before-and-After Photos:Document the sparkling state of your place for proof in case of deposit disputes.
