 Before a final inspection many tenants focus on main living areas and overlook smaller spaces that can affect the overall result. Commonly forgotten areas include the tops of cupboards and wardrobes where dust settles unnoticed. Window tracks skirting boards and door frames often collect grime over time. Light fittings ceiling corners and exhaust fans can hold dust and grease especially in kitchens and bathrooms. Inside drawers cupboards and storage spaces are easy to miss during a quick clean.
