Recommended cleaning products for end of tenancy clean ??

ItsyBitsySpider

Hello all,

We are moving out of our current flat very shortly. Cost of getting an end of tenancy clean professional is very steep in our area so we are planning to get a friend's domestic cleaner help for end of tenancy cleaning.

We don't have massive problem with mould and limescale but still would like to ensure flat is as clean as possible before we leave

I would highly appreciate if I could get some recommendations for good cleaning products to

1. remove limescale from shower head, shower glass, taps etc.
2. remove mould in the bathroom
3. clean electric hobs
4. clean kitchen sink ( stainless steel)
5. clean kitchen worktops.

I may have missed some points but any positive contribution would be highly appreciated.

Oven ?? Oven Pride.

1) Viakal
2) need more info
3) any cream cleanser
4) any cream cleanser
5) any cheap kitchen spray

Cleaning interior of the cupboards , think bleach.
A slight smell of bleach shows you have made an effort.

Astonish paste in a square plastic tub. They do two or three different types, all seem the Same in use. £1.00 a tub. I use it on the enamel bath, inside the cooker, the hob and it brings up PVC window frames like new. Can be difficult to source but boyes on the Yorkshire Coast towns always stocks it.

Thanks very much for your reply wallbash, Oven pride and viakal seem very powerful products Can you please recommend any good cream cleanser, I am clueless about these products really.

The mould in the bathroom is black colour like in this picture
and this picture.

for the mould use dettol anti mould and mildew, this stuff is incredible, mould which we were scrubbing with bleach and still wasn't coming off would just be sprayed and 2 minutes later would be gone!

as an extra..... sugar soap is good for cleaning paintwork, barkeepers friend (lakeland) will clean anything!

good luck - a steam cleaner also can be really helpful if you can get one

Thanks very much all of you for very helpful tips. For the benefit of anyone researching this information, I have found some good reviews about these products too:

• electric hob: hob brite
• lime scale: Ecover limescale remover
• general purpose (hob cleaning, lime scale, oven cleaning): jml doktor power multi-task

Now, I have to choose which ones to go for amongst all the suggested options

I would seriously think about going for the cheaper brands and more elbow grease.

Really for lime scale it has to be good old white vinegar - Viakal is lethal and could easily damage other areas if you are not careful. plastic freezer bag with white vinegar and a clippy tie to keep in place on taps. Also mix white vinegar with stardrops & water for your shower glass . Don't worry about the vinegar smell it soon disappears.
Stardrops 99p the yellow/gold colour one for all worksurfaces, skirts, cupboards, sinks, usually available from likes of £stretcher or £shop. if you can get the ammonia Stardrops (white ish), quite strong but great for that mildrew around the bath/shower. leave on over night if possible.

I suggest if you can't use cleaning chemicals correctly , please ask an adult to help you!

Microfibre cloths from supermarket are good for final finish to tiles, glass etc. 1 slightly damp and 1 dry to shine up!
