Why do you wish you had more days if all what is required is about 2 hours worth of cleaning?

As said, at this stage, all you can do is clean as best as you can, then wait to see what they say and take it from there.

I can get overwhelmed easily, its more that little things can mount up like I can go into a cupboard and find I left one or two things in there to get binned so drag bin through, fill it up as much I can, go down flights of stairs then across road to metal bins, back up

As It stands really am just about done now, will go round in morning to finish rest, my friends coming tonight with car so will take the few things that I left that are awkward to carry, which will be 2 steam mops, a handheld steamer under sink I forgot, computer and small monitor and a small bedside cabinet

Once thats out at most I have a few things I can brush into corner which would take minutes at most, then the actual hoovering and using the shampoo machine. oh and cut up about 20 old letters (well just the parts with name and personal details) as my shredder broke.

In all at a push that will be 2 hours.

Technically yes it should take no time but going back and forth between rooms takes the most time in my experience.

If my friend goes out tonight rather than stay in I will go back tonight and tidy what

Make sure you take lots of photos of the condition you finally leave the flat in, then you have your own evidence of the state of the flat you vacated if the landlord tries to claim any of your money.

You could probably have done 2 hours cleaning in the time spent posting...

Trying to be smart, but you didn't notice there was over a 3 hour gap between posts I made, where I did actually clean.

Anyway finished (not today a few days ago) the tidy, the last leg somehow took far longer than I thought (11 hours over 3 days) though most of that was putting stuff in bin bags, taking it downstairs and walking like 2 minutes to nearest empty bins, and making mulitple journeys, so 1 journey took about 8 minutes alone.

Only areas which could of been improved was more time mopping kitchen floor as I only used soapy water though it was worn and torn anyway and needs replaced, and the sides I used cleaning wipes and cloths but it didn't look spotless but did look clean.

Just going to be a little on edge until I hear back from LL, how long should I give them?
