If you’re a landlord that has tenants vacating a property, carpet cleaning is a vital part of getting your property ready to rent.
Getting your carpets truly clean makes a huge difference to the appearance of your rental property while improving the air quality and removing any stale odours that may put off prospective renters.
Indeed, arranging a professional carpet cleaning quotation should be done before your current tenants vacate the property.
Here’s why:
Helps to avoid disputes
According to the Tenancy Deposit Scheme, cleaning continues to be the most common area of dispute between landlords and tenants.
A tenant should return a property to the same level of cleanliness as it was on the day the agreement commenced.
While this may seem straightforward, it often causes disputes.
A simple way of avoiding many disputes is to book a professional carpet clean and perhaps have this requirement put into the contract between landlord and tenant.
Reduces tenant complaints
One of the most common complaints we hear from tenants that book our services is that “the landlord promised to get the carpets cleaned but they’re still dirty”.
By ensuring the carpets are cleaned before a new tenant moves into a property, you’ll start out the rental agreement on the right foot.
And if your tenant moves into a clean and hygienic property, they are far more likely to keep it that way!
Also, you have now set a clear indication of the condition that you require the carpets to be in at the end of the tenancy.
Improves rental returns
Replacing carpets due to neglect is becoming more expensive every year.
While you can’t control whether a tenant causes permanent damage to carpets, you can ensure that abrasive soil particles are removed that will degrade the fibres and cause premature wear.
Booking a professional carpet clean at the end of a tenancy is the minimum action that we’d advise. But we’d also go one step further and recommend scheduling a professional carpet clean every 6 months if you’re a landlord.
For a small cost, the money that will be saved by ensuring your caprets remain structurally sound and clean will be significant (if you have any damge such as iron burns to your carpets, we also repair carpet damage).
