Checklist for final cleaning when moving out
All residents must clean their own room/apartment when moving out. In the checklist you will find a complete overview of what to clean.
Order cleaning check
Remember to order a check of the final cleaning.
The order must be made well in advance and no later than 14 days before your last contract day. The check itself can be performed no later than the day you move out (the Friday before, if you move out on a Saturday or Sunday).
💸 The cleaning check can save you fees, as you can get one opportunity to clean again if the cleaning is not approved the first time (the cleaning check must be completed before your contract expires).
Follow the checklist to get the final cleaning approved
We have made a checklist that you should follow carefully when you clean your housing unit. If you have cleaned well when we come to check, the final cleaning will be approved.
Follow the checklist that applies to the unit type you have lived in:

See some examples of how to clean:
You need to clean the entire inside of the oven: Baking tray, oven door, oven rack and inside the oven itself.
Remember to pull out loose appliances such as cookers and fridges and clean behind them.
The kitchen sink, mixer tap, drain and basket strainer should be scrubbed clean, we recommend "Jif skurekrem" and sponge for this cleaning job.
When cleaning the drain in the shower, remember to lift off the drain grate, remove hair and soap residue and wash and rinse thoroughly.
The entire shower should be washed, wash shower doors in glass thoroughly and remove all lime and soap residue. Glass doors should be left blank.
NB! Cleaning that is not approved will lead to fees
If it has not been properly cleaned or cleared and the cleaning job cannot be approved, SSN will carry out the necessary cleaning and/or removal of furniture and belongings, and you who move out will be invoiced for this in accordance with the current Price List.
As long as your contract is valid, you can request a new cleaning check if you are not approved the first time. A total of two cleaning checks can be performed.
Once your contract has expired, it is unfortunately not possible for you to clean again to get it approved, and you will receive a cleaning fee.
Here is a selection of detergents and equipment that the cleaners in SSN recommend that all residents use.
Report errors or damage
Remember to report damage or errors at your unit before you move out.
