Passing the Strict Move-Out Inspection at Emery Court, North Vancouver

Moving out of a rental property in North Vancouver comes with high expectations. Whether you are in a high-rise in Lower Lonsdale or a garden suite in Lynn Valley, property managers on the North Shore are known for their rigorous inspections.

We recently took on a challenging project at 2300 Emery Court, a quiet residential area nestled near the mountains. The tenants were moving out and needed a guarantee that their security deposit would be returned in full. The unit required more than just a surface wipe-down; it needed a deep restorative clean to remove years of built-up grease, soap scum, and hidden grime.

At OnePro Cleaning, our Move-out Cleaning in North Vancouver service is designed specifically to pass these strict walkthroughs. Here is how we transformed this unit.

The Kitchen: Tackling "Invisible" Grease

In any move-out clean, the kitchen is the battlefield. While countertops are easy to wipe, the real challenge lies inside the appliances. Landlords often check the interior "ceilings" of microwaves and ovens—areas that are frequently ignored during daily cleaning.

The Microwave Restoration

The microwave in this unit had significant food splatter buildup that had hardened over time. Standard household cleaners often fail here, leaving scrubbing scratches or chemical residue.

This is an immediate "fail" on any inspection report.

The result is a sanitized appliance that looks brand new.

The Stainless Steel Finish

We also ensured the exterior appliances matched the interior cleanliness. We polished the stainless steel fridge and oven to remove fingerprints and streaks, which is crucial for that "showroom" look.

A move-in ready kitchen. Notice the streak-free finish on the microwave and oven, and the dust-free baseboards.

The Bathroom: A Deep Dive into Sanitation

Bathrooms in North Vancouver often struggle with moisture-related issues and soap scum buildup. For this project, our team focused on three critical areas that tenants often miss, but landlords always check.

1. The Chrome Fixtures (Limescale Removal)

Chrome fixtures are like the jewelry of the bathroom. When they are dull, the whole room looks dirty. The bathtub faucet in this unit was covered in a layer of soap scum and mineral deposits.

The buildup on this faucet dulls the shine and harbors bacteria.

We descaled and polished the fixture. The chrome now reflects light perfectly.

2. The Bathtub "Ring" and Corners

Over time, a mixture of body oils, soap, and dust creates a stubborn "ring" around the tub and settles into the corners. This residue can be difficult to remove without damaging the acrylic surface.

Corners are grime traps. This grey buildup is a combination of dust and soap residue.

We used specialized brushes to scrub the corners and edges, ensuring the tub is hygienically clean.

3. The Toilet: Beyond the Bowl

Cleaning a toilet for a move-out is different from a weekly clean. We dismantle the seat (if necessary) to get to the hinges and scrub under the rim where stains hide.

These hidden stains under the seat are often missed by tenant.

We removed all biological residue, leaving the toilet spotless and odor-free.

The Final Verdict

By the time our team finished, the apartment at Emery Court felt completely different. The air was fresh, the surfaces were smooth to the touch, and the visual clutter of dirt was gone.
