Sparkling Services deep-cleans your home in Brussels (1000) before the check-out inspection: cooker hood and oven degreased, bathroom descaled, windows, cupboards and floors. The site visit is free usually within 48 hours, or we quote from photos, at a fixed price, and we can work while you are away. Clearing the last pieces of furniture can be added.
End-of-tenancy cleaning in Brussels: our approach
Brussels is a city of tenants, and the end of a lease here nearly always follows the same script: a check-out inventory on a fixed date, and a rental deposit that is only released if the property is in good order. We combine the clearance with end-of-tenancy cleaning so the flat is empty and clean before that appointment: kitchen degreased, bathroom descaled, floors washed, windows and frames wiped, cupboards emptied. If the property was let furnished or as a flatshare, we agree beforehand which furniture belongs to the landlord and what can go. Around avenue Louise and in the European Quarter, an expat departure can mean a tight deadline, so we set the schedule at the very first visit.
In Brussels, end-of-tenancy cleaning has one clear goal: a check-out inspection with no remarks. We cover the kitchen, bathroom, floors, windows, doors and skirting boards, then go through each room with you or by photo. The price is set in advance, based on the size and condition of the property.
End-of-tenancy cleaning in Brussels: ready for the check-out inspection
In the City of Brussels, the end of a lease leads to a joint check-out inventory, often carried out by an expert, and only then is the rental deposit released. Once the property is empty, we wash the kitchen and its appliances, descale taps and sanitary ware, and clean windows, frames, doors, skirting boards and the inside of cupboards. In upmarket flats on avenue Louise, stone floors or solid parquet need suitable products; in houses in the centre, the dust on wooden stairs and mouldings takes time. Water and electricity must stay on until the end. If a lift is used, we follow the property manager's instructions. We can also clean the cellar and storage box, which appear in many inventories. If you are away, we pass the keys to the agency, the owner or the expert.
End-of-tenancy cleaning in Brussels: from the Marolles to Laeken
In the Pentagon and the Marolles, the home to hand back is often a flat on the third or fourth floor of a narrow house with no lift. Buckets, vacuum cleaner and products go up on foot, and we finish with the winding staircase, which the clearance may have marked. As the door opens straight onto the pavement and vehicle access in the centre is limited to delivery windows, equipment is unloaded early.
In Laeken, Neder-Over-Heembeek and Haren, the end of a lease more often concerns a single-family house: several floors, a garden, sometimes a packed garage. The check-out inspection may cover all of that, so we allow time to empty and sweep the garage before washing the rooms. These areas also have social housing, where the landlord has its own checkpoints.
A flat let to an expat around avenue Louise is usually handed back after a quick departure: it is best to contact us as soon as the move-out date is known.
