Move-Out Cleaning on W 2nd Ave, Vancouver: From Grime to Inspection-Ready

Appliances polished, glass-tile backsplash degreased, cabinet faces wiped; floors vacuumed and mopped.

A landlord on W 2nd Ave, Vancouver called us after tenants moved out without cleaning. Our task: deliver a fast, thorough move out cleaning in Vancouver so the condo would be inspection-ready for new renters. See full service details on Move-Out Cleaning in Vancouver.

Property & Scope (W 2nd Ave, Vancouver)

This condo with notable issues left behind: greasy drawer liners, a splattered microwave, soiled hood filters, mineral film on the bathtub, and general dust on surfaces and baseboards. Scope included inside appliances by default (microwave, oven, fridge/freezer), cabinet & drawer interiors, range hood filters/underside, backsplash, sinks/faucets, bathroom descaling and sanitation, touchpoints, vacuum, and hard-floor mopping. We follow a unit-by-unit move-out inspection checklist tailored to Vancouver condos to make handovers smooth for landlords.

Kitchen Setup & Plan

We staged tools at the entry and mapped a top-to-bottom workflow to avoid re-contamination in this compact False Creek kitchen: appliances → cabinet/drawer interiors → counters/backsplash → high-touch points → floors.

Stainless received a non-streak polish; the blue glass-tile backsplash was degreased and rinsed so grout lines presented clean for viewing and photos.

Microwave Interior — Before & After

Before: food splatter on the ceiling, walls, and turntable.

After: Detailed interior and reinstalled glass plate, ready for handover.

This microwave had heavy food splatter across the ceiling, sidewalls, and turntable when we arrived. After cleaning and detailing, the difference is clear: vents and crevices are spotless, the handle and keypad are fully sanitized, and the glass plate reinstalled streak-free. The before-and-after contrast shows exactly the kind of standard Vancouver move-out inspections expect.

Narrow Base Drawer — Before & After

Before: heavy grease and degraded liner residue inside a narrow base drawer.

After: liner residue removed; rails and corners detailed, odour-free finish.

A slim base drawer held heavy liner residue and grease. We removed the liner, lifted adhesive safely, degreased the tray, and detailed the rails and corners where crumbs collect. After disinfecting and drying, the drawer was ready for a fresh liner—no odours, no stickiness.

Hood Filters, Backsplash & Appliance Exteriors

Microwave/oven fronts and gas cooktop detailed; glass-tile backsplash degreased.

Grease-loaded range hood mesh filters were soaked and rinsed to restore airflow; the hood underside was de-gunked. We polished the stainless microwave/oven faces, cleaned the gas cooktop, and refreshed the glass-tile backsplash. Removing the invisible oil film keeps counters cleaner for longer and helps the kitchen pass the “finger-swipe” test.

Final Kitchen Pass & Floors

We closed with a whole-kitchen reset: cabinet faces, knobs, and high-touch points disinfected; counters wiped; edges and baseboards dusted; floors vacuumed and all hard surfaces mopped. A final checklist walk-through confirmed the condo was inspection-ready for the landlord—consistent with our 48-Hour Inspection Guarantee standard.

Bathroom Tub — Before & After

Before: soap scum and mineral film visible around drain and corners.

After: tub and chrome fixtures cleaned and polished for inspection.

The tub showed soap scum and mineral build-up along the drain, overflow, and caulked corners. We applied a biodegradable, non-abrasive descaler with proper dwell time, agitated gently with soft pads, then rinsed and buffed to a uniform sheen. Chrome fixtures were polished and the caulk line was carefully detailed. The result is a bright, residue-free, and eco-conscious clean—ideal for a landlord or strata walk-through.

Final Summary

This W 2nd Ave landlord turnover shows exactly what our move out cleaning in Vancouver delivers: interiors included by default (microwave, oven, fridge/freezer, cabinets/drawers), bathroom descaling, hood filter degreasing, backsplash/counter detailing, high-touch disinfection, and a full vacuum + mop. We took a tenant-left unit and returned it inspection-ready for new renters—fast, thorough, and consistent with our Inspection Guarantee.
