Sluttvasking

Sluttvasking refers to the final cleaning of a property, typically a rental apartment or house, before a tenant vacates or after a renovation is completed. It is often a requirement in rental agreements to ensure the property is returned in a clean condition. The scope of sluttvasking can vary but generally includes thorough cleaning of all rooms, appliances, bathrooms, and kitchens. This can encompass tasks such as scrubbing floors, cleaning windows, dusting surfaces, sanitizing bathrooms, and ensuring the oven and refrigerator are spotless.

The purpose of sluttvasking is to prepare the property for the next occupant or to satisfy the terms of a lease agreement, thereby avoiding potential deductions from a security deposit. In some cases, a professional cleaning service may be hired to perform the sluttvasking, especially if the tenant lacks the time or resources to do it themselves. This ensures a comprehensive and efficient cleaning that meets the expected standards. The definition of "clean" can be subjective, but generally, it implies a state free of dirt, grime, and personal belongings, ready for a new tenant to move in.
