Deep clean: moving, spring, sale
The home you are leaving or the one you are moving into, a second home to reopen, a house to get ready for photos: the page for private owners at home.

End-of-lease and between-tenants cleaning, ready for the check-out inspection
Tenant handing back the keys, landlord or letting agency putting a home back on the market, employer taking back a seasonal worker's studio: we get the flat or the house clean for the inspection, with photos to show for it, in Savoie and Haute-Savoie.
A check-out inspection is won on the details nobody notices while living there
While a home is lived in, the grease above the hob, the film of limescale on the shower screen or the dust on top of the doors go unnoticed. On inspection day they are written down line by line, and every line is paid for out of the deposit or delays the next letting. We clean an empty home with that eye: the eye of the person who will hold the pen. That goes for the tenant leaving at the end of a lease, for the owner or the letting agency taking back a property between two tenants, and for the hotel or resort business that takes back its staff studios in spring. We do not do clearance or repairs: the furniture and the boxes have gone, and we come in afterwards. Our base is in Ugine; we work every day in the Albertville basin and its valleys, on grouped days around the lake and in the resorts, and we choose the slot according to the inspection date.
Landlords, letting agencies, portfolio managers
Between two tenants: get the home back on the market without losing a week
When a tenant leaves, the clock is running: every day the home stays dirty is a day without rent and a viewing that goes badly. The agency does not always have time to go round, and the owner sometimes lives far away. We take over between the two inspections: the keys are collected from the agency, the emptied home is cleaned from the hood to the skirting boards, the traces of the previous occupant disappear, windows and shutters are done, and a set of photos reaches you the same day to prepare the check-in inspection. For a portfolio of several homes, we keep a rotation calendar and the same contact follows all your properties. Our daily rounds cover the Albertville basin, Ugine, Faverges and the Val d'Arly; the lakeside and the resorts are served on grouped days.

- Photos sent the same day, rotation calendar for a portfolio of homes

Tenants handing back their keys
End of lease: hand back a home that leaves nothing to write on the check-out report
At the end of a lease, cleaning is the last task and the most closely watched: a greasy oven, a shower screen whitened by limescale or blackened joints are enough to justify a deduction from the deposit. We come once the boxes have gone, usually the day before the appointment, and we follow the same list as the landlord or the estate agent: kitchen appliances inside and out, descaled bathrooms, windows and tracks, floors, doors, switches, cellar or balcony. If you have already left the area, you leave us the keys and you receive the photos before signing. Moving out of a home you own, or moving in and want to arrive somewhere clean? That is the deep clean, with its own rules.
- Cleaning set for the day before the check-out inspection, once the boxes have gone
- The landlord's list followed point by point: oven, shower screen, joints, tracks, floors
- Keys left and photos received before signing, even from a distance
Hotels, shops and resort employers
Seasonal staff studios and employee housing, cleaned at the end of the season
In the resorts, the season also ends in the staff housing: studios and rooms occupied five months in a row, handed back the same week by employees who are leaving, to be brought back to standard for the owner or for the summer team. A hotel, a ski shop or a restaurant has neither the time nor the hands to do it between closing and stocktaking. We take all the homes of one employer over one or two days, at the end of April or in May, with a report per studio: what was cleaned, what is broken, what is missing, with photos, so that the inspection with the landlord brings no surprises. Les Saisies, Megève, Courchevel, Val Thorens and Les Menuires are on our end-of-season rounds; the same organisation applies in September after the summer season.

What we get clean before the inspection
Empty home, room by room
Floors washed right under the radiators, skirting boards, doors and handles, tops of wardrobes, marks left by furniture and frames removed where the surface allows.
Kitchen and appliances
Oven, hob, hood and filter degreased, fridge and freezer defrosted and washed, cupboards emptied and wiped inside.
Descaled bathrooms
Shower screen, taps, WC, joints and drains cleared of limescale and deposits, without scratching the enamel or the chrome.
Windows and frames
Glass on both sides, frames, patio door tracks and shutters, so that the daylight on inspection day reveals nothing.
Photo report
Before and after photos sent the same day, useful to an absent landlord, to the agency and to the tenant who wants to prove the condition of the home handed back.
Seasonal worker studios and staff housing
Several homes of the same employer handed back on the same day, at the end of the season, with a report per studio.
Our commitments for your inspection

Keys and absence handled
Keys collected from the agency or a neighbour, photos sent, no need for you to be there.

FAQ
Your questions before the inspection
Inspection, timing, keys, tax credit, what we do not do: the questions tenants, landlords and agencies ask before calling us.
The same points everywhere: inside the oven, the hood and the fridge, the shower screen and tray, the joints, the drain and the WC bowl, the windows and their tracks, the skirting boards, the doors and the switches, the floor under and behind what was furnished, the balcony, the cellar or the garage. We follow this list in order and tick it off with you on the photos.
A week is usually enough, more at the end of the month and at the end of the resort seasons, when inspections pile up over a few days. The visit is set for the day before or two days before the appointment, once the home is empty: cleaning around boxes is pointless. Ugine, Albertville and Faverges are covered every day, the lake and the resorts on grouped days.
You tell us where to collect them, at the agency, from a neighbour or in a key box, and we drop them back in the same place. The before and after photos reach you the same day, with the list of what was done, so that you can sign the inspection remotely or delegate it.
The deep clean is for private owners at home: after moving into a home they own, in spring in a second home, before a sale. The end of lease and re-letting concern a rented home, with a landlord, an inspection and a deposit at stake: the list is the lease's, and the photo report is part of the service.
The tax credit for home services covers cleaning for a private individual in their own home. Services linked to letting are excluded, which applies to an owner or an agency having a property cleaned before re-letting it. For a tenant having the home they still occupy cleaned, we tell you on the quote what applies to your situation.
No for clearance and repairs: we come when the furniture, the boxes and the bulky items have gone, and we do not fill holes or repaint. A home handed back in an abnormal state, heavily soiled or damaged, is assessed on photos before any commitment, and we tell you frankly whether it is a job for us or for tradespeople.
No, and it is not the same page. Cleaning between two stays, with Saturday rotations and linen, falls under end-of-stay cleaning in the resorts and seasonal rental cleaning around Lake Annecy. Here it is about a lease, an inspection and a deposit: a single, more thorough visit, when the home changes tenant or returns to its owner.
