How to hire a end of tenancy cleaning pro in Hong Kong

  1. Check your tenancy agreement for handover-condition clauses — deposits (typically 2 months) are contractual, with disputes going to the Lands Tribunal or Small Claims Tribunal
  2. Book a crew experienced with small-flat deep cleans: kitchen grease, bathroom mould and limescale drive most disputes
  3. Confirm whether balcony and window interiors are included; exterior high-rise glass should only be done by properly equipped companies
  4. Schedule before the joint inspection with the landlord or agent
  5. Get a receipt for deposit negotiation
  6. Ask about dehumidifier/mould treatment if the flat has visible mould — common in humid months

Frequently asked questions

Is end of tenancy cleaning guaranteed?

Reputable companies offer a re-clean guarantee, usually 48-72 hours, meaning they return free of charge if the landlord or agent flags missed areas at checkout. Always confirm the guarantee window in writing before booking.

Do I need professional cleaning to get my deposit back?

You need to return the property in the same state of cleanliness as when you moved in, allowing for fair wear and tear. Cleaning disputes are the single most common reason deposits get docked, so a professional clean with an invoice is cheap insurance on larger deposits.

Should carpets be professionally cleaned at move-out?

If the carpets were professionally cleaned before you moved in, or your lease requires it, yes — keep the receipt. Otherwise vacuuming plus spot-cleaning to match the move-in condition is generally enough.

Do cleaners bring their own equipment for a move-out clean?

Yes. End of tenancy crews arrive with professional products, oven-cleaning chemicals, and often steam or hot-water extraction machines. You only need to provide access, power, and running water.

What is the difference between a deep clean and an end of tenancy clean?

An end of tenancy clean follows an agency-style checklist designed to pass a checkout inspection, covering inside appliances and cupboards in an empty property. A deep clean is done in a furnished, lived-in home and is scoped room by room rather than to an inventory standard.

Can I do the end of tenancy clean myself?

Legally yes in most markets — you are obliged to meet a cleanliness standard, not to hire a company. In practice, ovens, limescale, and carpet stains are where DIY cleans fail checkout inspections, so budget serious time and proper products if you go that route.

What is included in an end of tenancy clean?

A full top-to-bottom clean of the empty property: inside the oven and appliances, inside cupboards, limescale removal, skirting boards, windows inside, and a deep clean of the bathroom and kitchen. Carpet steam cleaning is usually a paid extra.

How do I protect my rental deposit in Hong Kong at move-out?

Document everything: photos at move-in and move-out, a professional cleaning receipt, and attend the joint inspection. With no statutory deposit scheme, your leverage is evidence — the Small Claims Tribunal will look at the condition record.
