10 tips for tenants of a furnished apartment – cleaning and maintenance
It is of course easy to rent a temporary apartments for sale in Islamabad on Installments. Advice, inspection, conclusion of the rental agreement in several languages - no problem at all.
But if there are problems in a temporary apartment, it’s usually about cleaning.
Of course, everything is regulated in detail in the rental agreement: the tenant assumes responsibility for the rented temporary home. And this means that the apartment is regularly maintained and cleaned.
The tenant pays a fee for the final cleaning at the end of the rental period. This is mandatory. But if you want to avoid stress with the landlord or the administration of the apartment and get the deposit refunded quickly, preventive action is necessary: Tenants can’t avoid it. Furnished apartments must be kept clean. We will be happy to name you a reliable company that will clean your temporary apartment weekly or every 14 days.
Clean the shower and bathroom regularly
The water is very calcareous, so water droplets must be removed immediately: on the shower wall, splash marks on the floor, water residue on the fittings, etc.
Don’t just rely on the final cleaning. Because something that has been neglected for months or maybe even a year cannot be made up for in a few hours. According to the rental agreement, you are even obliged to clean and maintain your furnished luxury apartments in Islamabad for sale regularly. Regular care means less work in the long run. Because once limescale, dirt and possibly even mold have settled in the bathroom, you run the risk of having to pay high cleaning costs etc. Once layers of lime have settled – on the fittings, shower walls, etc., it is difficult to remove.
Clean the shower cubicle regularly
Unplugging the shower means you have less cleaning to do
It is best to remove splash water on the shower walls with a squeegee immediately after showering. This prevents the water droplets from drying and unsightly limescale stains from forming on the shower wall.
Rubber squeegees that lie softly on the shower wall are ideal.
If there is no squeegee in your apartment, you can also use a soft cloth.
You can also use the squeegee to dry the tiles and prevent limescale stains there as well.\
Do not use aggressive cleaning agents
Does your furnished apartment have a natural stone bathroom made of marble, granite, etc.? Then it is best to ask the landlord how best to clean these materials. You should definitely not use conventional bathroom cleaners with a lot of chemicals. Ecological cleaning agents are also recommended for normally tiled bathrooms. You can buy these or simply make them yourself, such as the Crocodilian Universal Cleaner made from baking soda. This makes it easy to remove limescale and dirt.
How to remove stubborn limescale stains
Baking soda cleaner or a more concentrated baking soda/water mixture always helps and never hurts.
Dishwasher rinse aid, vinegar or vinegar essence mixed with water or citric acid also help against limescale stains.
Caution: These cleaners are acidic and not suitable for plastics or rubber
Black mold is often found in the joints or in hard-to-reach corners.
You can remove mold in the shower stall with 70% alcohol from the supermarket or pharmacy.
That’s why alcohol is the better choice. Apply the alcohol to the moldy areas and leave on for about 30 minutes. The mold can then be easily removed with a rag. If the mold has already spread a lot, the only solution is to remove the silicone joints.
Our tip: contact your landlord early on if there is mold!
Clean drains and unblock them
Don’t forget to clean the drains regularly, removing hair, soap scum and dirt. If the water drains poorly and the drain is already clogged, baking soda and vinegar will help. Simply pour 5 tablespoons of baking soda down the drain and pour in a small cup of vinegar, let it foam for a few minutes and then rinse with hot water.
Calcified kettles
Calcified kettles are not very inviting. Coffee also tastes less good when lime residue floats on the water.
Therefore, please clean the kettle regularly. Simply dilute citric acid with water, heat the solution and leave for a few hours.
Ventilate regularly
In the rental agreement, the tenant also undertakes to ventilate the room regularly. It’s not just about fresh air and the smell. In fact, regular airing prevents the formation of mold. Always ventilate after bathing or showering, also ventilate other rooms. Please make sure that you do not tilt the window and leave it open for hours (a waste of energy in winter!) Regular airing – 10 minutes – is better.
laundry care
Please wash towels and bed linen regularly and at the specified temperature.
Also, be sure to remove stains.
oven
Even an oven needs regular care. It’s bad when fat, sugar, roast liquid burn on.
Use oven spray and leave it on overnight. Please do not use sharp steel brushes.
If you don’t have oven spray available, it’s best to use shaving cream.
Washing machine maintenance
A washing machine also needs maintenance. Then no unpleasant odors can develop and no dirt can accumulate. It is best to clean the fluff filter regularly (caution: water runs out, so always put a bowl underneath)
Vacuum cleaning
The vacuum cleaner also needs to be cleaned regularly. It is best to remove hair and dirt from the brush after each vacuuming.
Please also make sure that you change and replace the dust bag regularly. It is very important that you use a suitable bag. Under no circumstances should you vacuum without a vacuum cleaner bag.
Clean surfaces regularly
When everything sticks, comfortable living is rarely possible. It is therefore advisable to clean the surfaces and floors regularly. You will find the necessary cleaning equipment in your furnished apartment. And if not, contact the landlord. This will be happy to accommodate a tenant who is willing to clean and will purchase the appropriate equipment. Because a clean, well-kept apartment is always in the interests of both parties.
Also make sure that you use the right cleaning surfaces for the different surfaces. Wooden floors need to be cared for and cleaned differently than kitchen worktops.
Please make sure that you clean laminate and parquet only slightly damp, i.e. “damp”. Under no circumstances should a wooden floor get too wet.
Do not use microfiber cloths to clean the kitchen. They scratch the high-gloss fronts of the cabinets. Microfibre cloths are ideal for mirrors, bathrooms etc.
Use slipcovers
Always make sure that you use the protective covers for mattresses and, if possible, also for pillows. Because stained mattresses are unsightly and not very hygienic.
You should also clean the seat covers regularly.
If you implement all of these cleaning tips in your temporary furnished apartment, you are on the right track. And if you have specific questions about how a certain material in a temporary apartment has to be cleaned, simply ask your landlord.
