Flat to Let Cambridge: When to Invest in Professional Cleaning in Cambridge UK

Cleanliness can make or break a let. Whether you're managing a short-stay flat or a long-term tenancy, a spotless property helps you attract better tenants, justify higher rent, and avoid costly voids. Here's why—and when—to invest in professional cleaning for your flat to let in Cambridge.

When Cleaning Affects Lettings

First impressions matter. Cleaning is essential:

• Before listing photos — clutter and grime reduce clicks

• Before every viewing — tenants won't return to a messy flat

• Before and after short-term bookings — expectations are near-hotel level

Even a stunning flat can underperform if it looks unkept online or in person.

Short-Term Letting = Frequent Cleaning

Cambridge’s short-let guests—whether tourists, academics or business travellers—expect:

• Immaculate bathrooms and kitchens

• Fresh linen and spotless surfaces

• No signs of previous guests

Turnover cleaning isn’t optional. It’s what drives 5-star reviews and repeat bookings. We coordinate and manage every clean, including linen rotation and restocking.

Long-Term Lets Still Require Presentation Cleaning

Even if your flat is let for 6–12 months, the initial impression sets the tone:

• Deep clean before viewings = higher perceived value

• Move-in cleaning = happier tenants, lower turnover

• Periodic inspections and touch-up cleans = maintained standards

A professionally cleaned property reduces complaints and improves retention.

Deep Cleaning vs Routine Cleaning

Know the difference:

• Routine cleaning handles dusting, vacuuming, and surface sanitation

• Deep cleaning tackles carpets, oven interiors, tile grout, limescale, and under-furniture zones

You should schedule deep cleans:

• Every 6–12 months for long lets

• Every few weeks for high-traffic short lets

We schedule these proactively as part of our management process.

Cambridge Stays Coordinates Professional Cleaning as Standard

• Vetted professional cleaners
