HOUSING CLEANING CHECKLIST

Please complete (as a minimum) the checklist below "prior" to your final move-out date.  Start early so you won't be cleaning at the last minute.

  • Walls, Ceilings & Doors
    Remove all tape, tacks, borders or other items that were installed during occupancy.  In most cases, nails don not need to be filled.  Holes larger than a quarter are considered damage.  Smoke detectors, CO2 detectors and fire stopes should all be in place at the time of final inspection.
  • Windows & Coverings
    Blinds and windows should be dusted and wiped clean, including glass doors and sliders.  All windows should have screens and be in good condition.
     
  • Kitchen & Laundry
    All cabinets, counters, shelves, sinks and faucets must be cleaned and free of any caked on food, grease or other dirt-like substances.
     
  • Appliances
    Clean and remove grease, food, mildew and dust from the stove, hood, oven, oven racks, dishwasher, microwave, refrigerator and freezer.
     
  • Bathrooms
    All surfaces, including floors, countertops, mirrors, vanities, tubs and toilets should be wiped down and free of mildew, grime and soap scum buildup.
     
  • Trash & Recycling
    All trash and recycling should be removed from the interior and exterior of the home and disposed of properly.  Please contact your Community Office or visit the Resident Portal for additional information on trash removal schedules or procedures.
     
  • Floors & Carpet
    Floors should be swept and carpets vacuumed.
  • Garage, Patios, Garbage can enclosures
    Sweep out garages, patios and can enclosures.  Remove all personnel items.
