End-of-tenancy cleaning should weigh the unit area and the severity of stains. If the unit has accumulated heavy oil stains or has mold conditions, when entrusting cleaning services, you should confirm whether they possess relevant stain treatment equipment and procedures, and confirm before cleaning whether the finish material is suitable for that cleaning plan.
What items are included in cleaning fees
End-of-tenancy cleaning requires approaching vacant-property standards. Although DIY saves outsourcing costs, it requires investing significant physical strength and purchasing a variety of targeted detergents. You need to assess whether your time cost exceeds the outsourcing fee.
- Direct expenditure: cost of purchasing agents and tools
- Time cost: human labor hours spent on deep cleaning
- Risk cost: deposit deduction caused by cleaning not reaching standards
- Assess unit area
- Check kitchen and bathroom stain levels
- Calculate estimated labor hours
Potential dead corners for DIY cleaning
Landlords usually pay close attention to specific positions when inspecting the unit. If DIY fails to reach deep into these dead corners, it may trigger unnecessary deposit deduction disputes.

Decision matrix: Which plan suits you?
If the length of residence in the unit exceeds two years, or the kitchen and bathroom have a large amount of stubborn stains, it is strongly recommended to choose an outsourcing service to safeguard your deposit. If the unit is clean and the lease has no strict cleaning requirements, cleaning it yourself is feasible.
- DIY conditions: short residence period, small area, no stubborn stains
- Outsource conditions: long-term residence, pets, strict terms
- Conduct self-assessment based on indicators
- Contact the professional team to obtain the latest charging standards
- Confirm handover standards with the landlord
