Final cleaning instructions for tenant

Tom Degroodt

I once saw some instructions another landlord had, but I was too new to realize that I was looking at gold.  I was new and didn't know what I didn't know.

In his instructions it said at the top ( I am Para-phrasing )

"If you think you will clean the apartment with just Windex and paper towels, the apartment will not be clean enough"

"If you think you can do a final cleaning in 2 hours, the apartment will not be clean enough"

He then went about giving instructions from start to finish on what he wanted, but I can't remember it.

Does anyone give their tenants detailed instructions.  We do take pictures and part of the lease signing has a checkout price list of sorts.  Just trying to get better.
