Property cleaned and presentation-ready for tenant viewings - all surfaces spotless, floors clean, bathrooms fresh. Make the right first impression fast.
First Impressions Let Properties
Here's the thing about viewings: potential tenants decide in the first 30 seconds whether they're interested. Grubby bathroom? Dusty surfaces? They're already mentally moving on to the next property.
A clean, fresh-smelling property that looks cared for? That's what gets applications.
💡 Pro tip: Exeter's rental market moves fast. Properties that show well get let quickly. Scruffy ones sit vacant costing you money. A good viewing clean pays for itself in reduced void periods.
The Viewing Clean
| ✅ Done Right | ❌ Done Wrong |
|---|---|
| Every surface wiped and presented well | Quick hoover and hope for the best |
| Bathroom scrubbed and fresh | Visible limescale and grime |
| Windows clean, curtains open for light | Dark and dingy |
| Good smell (or no smell!) | Stale or musty odours |
The difference? Multiple applications versus crickets.

Step 1: Quick Assessment
I'll have a look at what needs doing. If it's straightforward viewing prep, I'll crack on. If it needs more than a standard clean, I'll let you know.
Step 2: Priority Clean
Focus on what tenants will see and notice most - bathroom, kitchen, floors, general presentation. Make it look cared for and welcoming.
Step 3: Final Check
Walk through like a potential tenant would. Make sure first impressions are good, everything smells fresh, property shows well.
🔧 DIY Tips
Doing your own viewing cleans? Here's how to make them count:
🔧 Essential kit you'll need
- Good quality cleaning products (bathroom cleaner, surface spray)
- Microfibre cloths
- Decent hoover
- Mop and bucket
- Glass cleaner for windows and mirrors
- Air freshener (subtle, not overpowering)
📋 The quick viewing clean routine
- Open all windows first - fresh air makes a huge difference
- Do bathrooms first (they take longest and matter most)
- Kitchen next (second most important)
- Quick hoover and dust of all other rooms
- Wipe any marks off walls, light switches, door handles
- Check all lights work, curtains/blinds are presentable
- Final smell check - subtle fresh scent or just clean
⚠️ Common DIY mistakes
- Rushing the bathroom (tenants always look closely here)
- Forgetting to clean inside cupboards and wardrobes
- Leaving windows dirty (makes whole property look worse)
- Using overpowering air freshener (makes people suspicious)
💡 Pro trick: Put yourself in tenant shoes - walk through the front door like you've never seen it before. What jumps out? That's what needs attention.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🎨 Regular viewing schedule? If your property's taking a while to let, I can set up weekly viewing preps. Keep it looking fresh between viewing batches - especially important for vacant properties that get dusty.
Same-day service? Call me in the morning and I'll usually get you viewing-ready by afternoon. Can't always guarantee it but I'll do my best - I know last-minute viewings happen.
Occupied properties? If current tenants are still living there, results depend on how tidy they keep it. I'll do what I can, but there's only so much I can achieve around someone else's clutter.
Full turnaround needed? If the property needs painting, repairs, or deep cleaning as well as viewing prep, we should talk about a complete end-of-tenancy package. More efficient than multiple visits.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's included in a pre-viewing clean?
Full clean of all visible areas - hoover and mop all floors, wipe all surfaces, clean bathroom and kitchen properly, windows cleaned inside, bins emptied, make sure everything looks tidy and welcoming. Focus is on making a good first impression when potential tenants walk through.
How quick can you turn around a viewing clean?
If you call me in the morning, I can usually get a property viewing-ready the same afternoon for standard cleans. Last-minute viewings happen - I get it. Just give me as much notice as possible and I'll do my best to fit it in.
Do you need the property to be empty?
Not necessarily. If tenants are still living there, I'll work around them - but it's easier and quicker if the property's vacant. Either way, I'll make it look as good as possible for viewings.
What if the property is really messy - previous tenants left it in a state?
I'll be honest about what's realistic in the time available. A viewing clean makes it presentable, but if it's a real mess you might need a full deep clean instead. I'll let you know after seeing it and quote accordingly.
Can you do regular viewing cleans between viewings?
Yes - some properties take a while to let and need freshening up between viewing batches. I can pop in weekly or as needed to keep it looking sharp. Especially important for vacant properties that get dusty.
