Moving can be tedious enough on its own, and when you think about cleaning too, it can become a stress-filled event. However, if you want to get your deposit back, leaving a mess is not optional. Sam Hollis & Sons Moving & Storage in Foley, AL, are professional house movers. With more than 40 years of experience, they've provided professional moving services, unlike any other company. This includes knowing the best cleaning tricks to ensure you pass a move-out inspection and get a full return on your deposit.

Follow these cleaning tips from professional movers, and don't get stuck with cleaning and damage fees:

• Walls: Start with removing any and all nails and hooks from the walls. You also want to make sure you touch up any holes that were made. If you painted, ask your landlord if you are required to paint the walls back to their original color; be sure to remove any stains on the wall with a Magic Eraser as well.
• Floors: After the professional movers have taken all of your items and furniture away, sweep and vacuum all of the floors to remove all trash, hair, and dust. Using Murphy Oil Soap on any hardwood floors or linoleum removes any visible scratches or scruffs.
• Bathroom: Use an all-purpose sprayable cleaner to remove any mold, soap scum, or grime from the shower. You should also be going through any drawers or cabinets, making sure there is no loose hair or dirt lingering. Clean the sink and toilet, and replace the toilet lid if it looks raggedy. Don't forget to clean the mirror, and finally, use a vacuum to clean the exhaust fan if there is one.
• Kitchen: Again, clean out all cabinets and remove any liners you may have added. Then, wash the outside of the cabinets. Cleaning and disinfecting the countertops, sink, and faucet are also vital during the cleaning process. When you scrub the refrigerator, remove all of the shelves and drawers to clean them each independently. The same rule applies to the oven and dishwasher. Finish by moving appliances, if you are able to, and sweep and mop behind them.
