2 CLEANING AND REPLACEMENT CHARGES When you vacate your apartment, an inspection will be done to determine what cleaning and/or damage charges (if any) will be charged against your Performance Deposit. These charges will be based on the attached common cleaning and damage charges list. These rates are approximate and could be more or less than the listed rate depending on the situation. These suggestions will help you ensure a full refund of your Performance Deposit: WALL All walls must be cleaned and ready to paint. A mild general purpose cleaning solution will remove ordinary dirt and grease marks. DO NOT repair holes in the walls. This will be taken care of by our painting contractor. FLOORS All floors must be washed and excess wax removed. Mild floor cleaning solutions will work for ordinary dirt and stains. Use ammonia if you need to strip off old wax and steel wool to remove any dried on stains. All carpeting must be vacuumed and cleaned. If you have occupied your apartment for less than one year, you are responsible for having your carpet professionally cleaned. DOORS AND WOODWORK Both the inside and outside of all doors should be wiped clean and polished. All woodwork should be wiped down. The tracks on the closet doors should be free of dust and dirt. You can use your vacuum to get the dirt and gravel out of the tracks. KITCHEN CABINETS AND DRAWERS Remove all shelf paper and use a mild cleaning solution to clean both the inside and outside of all cupboard and drawer surfaces. REFRIGERATOR Completely clean and wipe out the refrigerator. Defrost the freezer if needed. Turn the dial to the lowest possible setting. Do not turn the refrigerator off. The site manager will take care of this when they do their final inspection. Pull the refrigerator out from the wall to clean the floor and sides of the refrigerator and cabinet. Vacuum the coils behind the refrigerator. RANGE, OVEN AND VENT HOOD All surfaces of the range, oven and vent hood should be clean and free from grease. This includes the drip pans, oven racks, broiler pan and vent hood filter. Use a standard oven cleaner and a single edge razor to remove all baked on material from oven walls. Place your oven racks, broiler pan and vent hood filter in a garbage bag, spray them with oven cleaner and let them set overnight. Baked on material will rinse off easily in the morning. AIR CONDITIONER FILTER AND COVER When cleaning the decorative cover, use a mild cleaning solution. If your unit includes an air conditioner, remove the front cover by grabbing it from the rear, not the front to avoid breaking the cover. Rinse the filter thoroughly with warm soapy water. Reinstall filter and cover. BATHROOM FLOOR AND FIXTURES Rinse and dry all fixtures thoroughly. Clean the tile around the bathtub. To remove hard water stains from the tile, use a non-abrasive cleanser and/or toilet bowl cleaner. DO NOT USE TOILET BOWL CLEANER ON ANY METAL SURFACES, AS IT WILLRUIN THE FINISH.
