professional cleaning.... (1 Viewer)

How much would a small 1BR apartment cost to have professionally cleaned? Hardwood floors, furnished... I have the opportunity to rent a pretty nice apartment so long as I agree to a "professional" cleaning after I move out cause the landlord is allergic to cats of which I have 2. Just curious how much would one be? rough estimates are fine...

Jay - my cleaning service charges me $400 to do a "deep cleaning" of my 3,500 sq ft house (yes - I know its too big).

Deep cleaning means they do everything - blinds, windows, tops of mouldings, under everything, etc - compared to the normal bi-weekly cleaning which really just gets visible surfaces (floors, carpets, counters, tables, etc.). I'd guess that's analogous to what the landlord would want.

I would ask him to define "professional cleaning" in writing as well as asking for a written policy on how the apartment will be inspected and determined to be sufficiently clean after you vacate. You may also want to ask him if he could recommend a company that offers such services.

Once you have something in writing, and maybe a few pictures of the place, it should make getting quotes for the cleaning much easier.

He might also try to throw a duct cleaning into there, on the theory that pets (especially cats) pee down floor vents. If you don't have any floor vents, that's not a potential.

No floor vents, it is a steam heat via radiators.. my cats have not tried to pee or poop anywhere other than the liter box, they are fixed but they are so wonderfully behaved, I am amazed cause I read all the time of other cats who are picky eaters, picky peers, and picky poopers. not my two guys!

I think what you have there are clever small dogs in cat suits. Check their bellies for zippers.

Take detailed photos of the furniture, carpets, window treatments -- anything the LL could later say was clawed up by the dogs-in-catsuits.
