Lease exit and move-in cleaning must address inside cabinets, window tracks, kitchen and bathroom wall mold, and floor dead zones. Cleaning should start from the ceiling and walls, then proceed to cabinet bodies and floors. Using professional dusting and anti-mold products can effectively improve space hygiene. It is recommended to schedule deep cleaning before handover to ensure stubborn stains like range hood grease can be removed.
Key differences between lease exit cleaning and move-in cleaning
Move-in cleaning aims to remove bacteria, dust mites, and dander left by previous tenants. The focus is on disinfection and deep cleaning inside cabinets. Lease exit cleaning focuses more on the landlord's inspection standards, including kitchen stove grease, bathroom glass water stains, and window cleaning. When dealing with mold, you must thoroughly scrub the contaminated surfaces and maintain ventilation. Areas with severe mold may require evaluation for special treatment.
When handling moldy materials, you can follow US Environmental Protection Agency's home mold prevention recommendations(opens in a new window)treatment and note the on-site and material restrictions.

- Bathroom: remove water stains, soap scum, and mold in crevices.
- Kitchen: handle stubborn grease on range hoods and stoves.
- Empty all miscellaneous items from inside cabinets.

Dealing with common humidity and mold issues in Hong Kong
Hong Kong's climate is humid, and mold easily appears in bathrooms and on ceilings. For hard surfaces, scrub with cleaning agent and water, then dry thoroughly. Note that porous materials like carpets may not be fully cleaned if severely molded. We use professional ventilation equipment and environmental cleaning techniques to reduce mold recurrence. Do not perform paint repairs before cleaning mold stains, as it will cause the coating to peel.
- Check for water leakage problems early.
- Keep the area thoroughly dry after mold treatment.
- Increase ventilation frequency to reduce moisture accumulation.
