Renting out a home is always a risk, and after tenants move out, owners often face the need to carry out not just a cosmetic cleanup, but a deep, intensive cleaning. The company Chistenko specializes in a complex and time-consuming service – cleaning an apartment after tenants. We guarantee the complete removal of any traces of tenants, including unpleasant odors, old grease and deep dirt, so that your property is ready to be sold or rented to new, clean tenants.
Cleaning apartments after rent is fundamentally different from regular maintenance cleaning. Often, tenants neglect deep cleaning, which leads to the accumulation of dirt in hard-to-reach places. Standard detergents are powerless against many years of layers of grease, limescale, traces of animal life or the smell of tobacco. Professional cleaning after tenants is a set of measures aimed at disinfecting and restoring the original cleanliness of the premises.
- Deep biological contamination: Fungus, mold, accumulation of bacteria in bathrooms.
- Odor elimination: Neutralization of persistent odors (tobacco, animals, dampness, “the smell of an old home”).
- Old grease: Removal of carbon deposits and fatty deposits from the inner surfaces of kitchen appliances and hoods.
- Post-repair traces: It is often necessary to eliminate small traces of repair or minor household damage.
2. How is intensive cleaning after tenants done?
Cleaning an apartment after tenants is always carried out according to a specialized enhanced protocol, which takes more time than a regular general cleaning. Our team is equipped with powerful steam generators and extractors necessary for complete disinfection and cleaning.

Main stages of general cleaning after residents:
- Preparation and disinfection: Collection and removal of garbage, treatment of all surfaces with disinfectant solutions.
- Kitchen and bathrooms (High-attention zone): These are the dirtiest areas. Dismantling and deep soaking of hood filters, cleaning of the stove, oven, microwave oven inside. Complete removal of limescale and water scale in the bathroom.
- Cleaning of vertical and horizontal surfaces: Wet treatment of walls, doors, baseboards, batteries and window frames.
- Dry cleaning: If there is upholstered furniture or carpets left in the apartment, deep dry cleaning is performed to remove stains and odors.
- Odor neutralization: If necessary, “dry fog” technology or ozonation is used to completely eliminate odors.
3. What does the cost of cleaning apartments after rent depend on?
To calculate the exact cost of cleaning after tenants, a preliminary estimate is required, since each object is unique. The price of cleaning an apartment after tenants depends on:
- Degree of contamination (Key factor): The dirtiest object will require more time, a team and expensive concentrated products than a relatively clean apartment.
- Area and number of rooms: Of course, cleaning a two-room apartment after tenants will be more expensive than a one-room one.
- Presence of specific contamination: Strong smell of tobacco, mold or traces of a large number of animals.
- Additional services: Dry cleaning of sofas, washing the refrigerator from the inside, washing windows.
Our managers are ready to advise you and help calculate the cost of cleaning an apartment after tenants, offering the most favorable prices in Kyiv.
4. Why is our company the best choice for cleaning after tenants?
Many companies offer cleaning, but high-quality cleaning of apartments after renting requires a specialized approach that only an experienced company can provide:
- Professional equipment: We use industrial vacuum cleaners, steam generators and extractors for deep cleaning, which are not available in everyday life.
- Safe chemicals: Our concentrated products effectively fight grease and dirt, while being completely safe for people, animals and the environment. They do not leave toxic residues
stains or a strong smell.
- Guarantee and responsibility: We bear full financial responsibility and guarantee that after our work your apartment will shine, and any feedback will be only positive.
You gave the keys to a nice couple, and six months later you got back a home that looks more like the scenery of an apocalypse movie? As a person who has been professionally cleaning in Kyiv for years, I can tell you one thing: don’t panic. What you consider hopeless dirt is just a regular work Tuesday for us.
Why won’t “just washing the floor” help here?
When you order cleaning an apartment after rent, you don’t pay for waving a mop. You pay for the “zeroing” of the energy and hygiene of your home. Tenants often clean only where they can see. We look into the “dark corners” that they didn’t even know about.
“The worst thing is not the scattered things. The worst thing is the sticky grease on the tops of the kitchen cabinets and the limescale that has hardened in the shower. This is what eats away at the cost of your rent.”
Our “battle plan”: what is included in cleaning after tenants
At Chistenko, we approach the matter systematically. We don’t just remove dirt — we carry out a complete restoration of cleanliness.
What we will definitely do:
- Kitchen disaster: We wash the oven, microwave and hood from old grease (even where it sticks).
- Bathroom: Total disinfection of the toilet, bathtub and faucets. We remove limescale that has accumulated over months.
- Windows and window sills: We wash away Kyiv smog and dust so that the apartment can finally “breathe”.
- Odor removal: If the apartment was smoked in or animals were kept, we neutralize the odors, not just spray them.
- Floor cleaning: We wash every corner and baseboard where the tenant’s brush has not reached for years.
How much does it cost to restore the apartment to its presentable appearance?
Many owners try to clean it themselves, spending two days, a lot of energy, and 2,000 hryvnias on “chemicals” from the supermarket that do not wash anything. Professional cleaning after tenants in Kyiv saves you time and nerves.
The price starts from 2500-3000 UAH for a one-room apartment. The exact cost depends on how “creative” your previous tenants were. But believe me, a clean and fresh apartment is rented out 20-30% more expensive and much faster!
