The Ultimate Move-Out Cleaning Checklist for Salmon Arm & Blind Bay Homeowners
A spotless empty home photographs better, shows better, and keeps possession day stress-free. Whether you're selling in Salmon Arm, handing a Blind Bay rental back to a landlord, or prepping for new owners, this is the checklist we work from on every move-out clean.
Kitchen
- Inside and outside of the oven, fridge, and dishwasher
- Cupboard and drawer interiors, wiped and crumb-free
- Backsplash, counters, and sink descaled and polished
- Behind and under appliances once they're pulled out
Bathrooms
- Tub, shower, and tile scrubbed free of soap scum and hard-water marks
- Toilet cleaned inside, out, and behind
- Vanity, mirror, and fixtures polished
- Exhaust fan cover dusted
Living areas and bedrooms
- Baseboards, door frames, and light switches wiped
- Closets vacuumed, including shelves and rods
- Windows, sills, and tracks cleaned
- Walls spot-washed; nails and hooks removed where agreed
Floors and finishing touches
Every floor gets a full vacuum and mop, including edges and corners where dust hides. Finish with a walkthrough in daylight — the low Shuswap sun shows streaks and missed spots better than any overhead light.
What buyers and landlords notice first
In our experience, three things shape the first impression of an empty home: the smell when the door opens, the state of the kitchen, and the floors. Get those three right and the rest is detail.
