Move-Out Cleaning in City of Lougheed, Burnaby

This case study features a modern high-rise condo in City of Lougheed, Burnaby. The client needed a thorough end-of-tenancy clean in Burnaby so the suite would pass handover with the landlord and be move-in ready for the next resident. Our team focused on the high-touch areas that most inspections flag—kitchen appliances and cabinets, countertops and backsplash, bathrooms, baseboards and doors, and a detailed floor clean throughout.

We followed a clear room-by-room checklist, using safe, effective products to lift grease, dust, and mineral residue without damaging finishes like the quartz island, matte cabinetry, and herringbone tile. A final QA walk-through ensured the space met building expectations for a professional move-out cleaning.

Post-clean kitchen at City of Lougheed: quartz island polished, cooktop degreased, sink and fixtures shined, cabinet faces detailed, and floors vacuumed and mopped—inspection-ready.

Highlights you’ll see in this project:

• Kitchen: degreasing of cooktop, detail clean of built-in oven, cabinet interiors/exteriors, backsplash and sink polish

• Whole home: vents, light switches, door/trim, baseboards, closet shelves, and outlet plates wiped

• Floors: full vacuum and streak-free mop to restore the low-sheen wood look

Bathroom — Before & After

A focused bathroom detail to remove soap film, polish hardware, and leave touchpoints sanitized and photo-ready. Below are the three key areas we restored, plus the finished look.

1) Bathtub & Corner

Before: soap film on the tub floor with residue along edges and around the drain.

After: bright tub with clear corners and a polished drain—no residue left behind.

We lifted build-up along the tub floor and seams with a gentle wash and non-scratch pads, then polished the chrome and dried to a uniform sheen.

2) Vanity, Sink & Faucet

Before: dust and smudges across the counter; light residue in the basin.

After: spotless counter and basin with a gleaming faucet and drain cap.

Dust, hair, and toothpaste marks were removed; the basin was scrubbed and the single-lever faucet polished. The quartz top was cleaned with a non-abrasive product to protect the finish.

3) Mirror & Switch Plates

Before: splash marks and streaks along the lower edge of the mirror.

After: streak-free mirror with disinfected outlet and fan switch.

Glass was treated for spots and streaks, edges wiped, and nearby plates sanitized for fingerprints—leaving a crisp reflection.

Bathroom — Final Look

Final result: clean vanity and basin, polished faucet, and a fresh toilet—inspection-ready.

Detailing complete: fixtures polished, touchpoints sanitized, and surfaces finished to an even, streak-free sheen.

Microwave — Before & After

Before: splatters on the enamel walls and glass turntable, with residue around the vent screen

After: spotless microwave—walls, turntable, vent screen, and gasket detailed and deodorized.

A quick win inside the kitchen: we restored the built-in microwave to an inspection-ready finish. Using a steam lift, a food-safe degreaser, and microfiber detailing, we removed baked-on splatters from the enamel walls and glass turntable, cleaned the vent screen and door gasket, and neutralized odors—perfect for a smooth move-out cleaning handover.

Floors & Baseboards — Before & After

High-rise suites often hide the worst dust along window walls and trim. For this City of Lougheed, Burnaby project we did an edge-to-edge reset: crevice-tool vacuuming around the perimeter, soft-brush detailing on baseboards and door casings, then a compact mopping machine. The machine’s overlapping passes remove fine residue and leave laminate streak-free.

Balcony Slider Corner: Edge-to-Edge Reset

Before: dust lines and loose grit gathered along the window corner and baseboard.

After: machine-mopped from edge to edge; clean baseboards and a clear window sill.

Fine debris had collected along the slider track and corner—typical once furniture and blinds come down. We vacuumed the edges and sill first, then ran slow, overlapping passes with the mopping machine to even out the sheen across the whole panel.

Perimeter Sweep: Sunlight-Ready Finish

Before: lint clusters and fine dust across the perimeter boards.

After: streak-free sheen from the mopping machine; corners and seams cleared.

Low afternoon light showed lint clusters and drywall dust across the long wall. A careful crevice pass lifted everything from seams and expansion gaps; the mopping machine then restored an even finish without swirl marks—so the floor reads smooth when the sun hits.

Baseboard Line: Crisp Trim Detail

Before: visible dust ribbon along the baseboard and light debris at the wall junction.

After: tidy baseboard edge and smooth floor surface following a precision machine clean.

Close-ups matter during inspections. We brushed the trim, wiped the ledge, chased crumbs from the expansion gap, and finished with a targeted machine pass so the transition where floor meets wall looks sharp.

Project Summary

This showcase follows a full Burnaby move-out clean for a high-rise condo in the City of Lougheed, Burnaby. We detailed the kitchen (including a deodorized, spotless microwave), restored the bathroom with soap-film removal and polished fixtures, and finished the suite with edge-to-edge floor care. Perimeters and baseboards were vacuumed and brushed, then a compact mopping machine delivered a streak-free finish that still looks great in direct sunlight. The result: a bright, neutral space that’s inspection-ready for handover and welcoming for the next resident—without overusing harsh products or leaving haze on modern finishes like quartz, matte cabinetry, and laminate flooring.
