End of Tenancy Cleaning: The Key to a Smooth Move and Full Deposit Return

Moving out of a rented property is exciting — but it can also be stressful. Between packing, paperwork, and settling into your new place, one crucial task often gets overlooked: end of tenancy cleaning. Yet, this single step could determine whether you walk away with your full deposit… or leave money behind.

At Empacta Group Ltd, we make end of tenancy cleaning hassle-free, effective, and tailored to meet landlord and letting agent standards — giving you peace of mind and your money back.

🧼 What Is End of Tenancy Cleaning?

End of tenancy cleaning is a comprehensive deep clean of the entire property, carried out before the final handover. It goes far beyond a general tidy-up. The goal is to restore the home to its original move-in condition — or better — ensuring the landlord or letting agent has no grounds to withhold your deposit.

This cleaning is typically required by tenancy agreements and is one of the most common reasons deposits are deducted or withheld.
