Post-Clearance Deep Cleaning & Sanitisation

Post-clearance deep cleaning gets a property clean and presentable once it has been emptied, from kitchens and bathrooms to floors and surfaces. iTrade sequences it after a clearance and is clear about where specialist remediation is needed.

Quick answer

Who it is for: Homeowners, landlords, agents and executors preparing a cleared property to sell, let or hand over.

What it covers: A thorough clean of an empty property: kitchens, bathrooms, floors, surfaces and fittings.

When a survey is needed: Photos of the property's condition help set the scope; heavily soiled properties may need a look.

Once a property is empty, a deep clean makes the difference between cleared and ready. It covers the kitchen, bathrooms, floors, surfaces and internal fittings so the property presents well.

Some situations go beyond cleaning: contamination, biohazards or infestation need specialist remediation, which iTrade will identify rather than treat as a standard clean.

Common questions

Frequently asked

What does a deep clean include?

Kitchens and bathrooms, floors, surfaces, skirtings, internal fittings and interior windows, so an empty property presents well.

Do you do biohazard or trauma cleaning?

The initial assessment must separate standard cleaning from biohazard, trauma, infestation or other specialist remediation. Work outside the confirmed scope must go to a suitably qualified provider.

Can you clean carpets?

Carpet and upholstery cleaning can be added as an extra where needed.

Should cleaning come before or after repairs?

Usually a final clean comes after repairs and decorating, so the property is presented at its best. iTrade will advise on the order.

Do you clean after your own clearance?

Yes. The clean is commonly sequenced straight after an iTrade clearance.
