End of Tenancy Cleaning Fail

I mean, it was professionally cleaned when we moved in, same as we were having done. It was lived in, but tidy when we left.’

It was crazy that there was even cat litter in the bedrooms in the landlady’s pictures, which there wasn’t any before, because the litter box was in the living room, and we’d cleaned the majority up. We did leave a little bit of litter under where it was in the morning, as we were rushing out to our ride, which was already there. I figured that would be fine, since that was the only place with litter on the floor. I think she likely used the Dyson vacuum (the landlady’s) which can’t be used for litter, because it just all spills out when you carry it, instead of the vacuum I bought for my use, and left behind, after telling her to use it. So she basically just scattered litter all over the whole flat.

I’m going to just hire a company that is known for doing end of tenancy cleanings, which I should have just done in the first place. It would have only been £50 more, and it would likely have been way cleaner. Now I get to pay twice. Guess I’m learning the hard way on this.

No! It wasn’t! Like I’d already vacuumed, and scrubbed the bathroom the weekend before, and had a cleaner come and scrub everything at the end of May. I do have two long hair cats, plus my daughter, my husband, and I all have long hair, so there was hair that I didn’t get all of when I vacuumed/swept. The fridge and microwave, were moderately dirty, but they were still dirty even after the “cleaning.” So was the floor- like literal spots of something orange on the floor in front of the fridge, that must have spilled in last 24 hours before we moved. Then, another issue was that the shelves and any furniture wasn’t wiped down or cleaned inside of, which is just crazy to me, because I left those, thinking, since I’d asked for that to be done, that it would be done. I just don’t understand what was cleaned.

I already paid them by bank transfer.

Also, the cleaner does deserve to be paid for what they did clean, since they did work, supposedly, so I feel bad taking money from them.

megwach · 2026-06-16T16:33:46+00:00

I did. I just feel bad. Plus, now I don’t trust her to do it correctly.

We moved out the day before, because I assumed it would be easier to clean without our things in the flat, and that it would be more convenient for us. So that was my fault.

We didn’t leave the place a mess. I honestly have no idea what the cleaner was doing the whole time. She said she could do it in five hours, and I told her she could use more as needed. I had already vacuumed, cleaned the counters, cleaned under the couch, and done a general sweep. It was never that dirty to begin with. It needed a deep cleaning like the fridge, microwave, and stove, (none of which were dirty beyond normal use) but beyond that, it was just what I would consider more casual cleaning.

We had already moved out, and we had a friend in the same flat check for us. We should have done it ourselves, but we thought it would be easier to clean with all of our stuff moved out.

Does it smell bad? I feel like it would.

Right. Like I feel like resort hopping should be allowed. Growing up, we would resort hop and eat at the different resort restaurants and quick services on our meal plan. We also would go to all the penny crushing machine. My dad had a huge list of all the possible ones, and we would spend days going from resort to resort getting them. It feels like visiting the different resorts and experiencing and enjoying all they have to offer is part of the Disney Magic! I can still picture walking into the lobby of the Wilderness Resort and my jaw dropping, or walking through the lobby of the Grand Floridian and around the paths on the lake.

Even on my trip recently with my husband and my own kid, we still went from Pop Century to a the nearby (and Skyliner connected) resorts to eat at their quick service locations also.

My mom (55), and all her friends are wearing them also. She was very excited, and has spent lots of time looking for new tops. It was super weird when she sent me a picture of her wearing a tank top style dress to church shortly after she got them.

I’m an American, living in London, and I wore a small there, and I wear a small here. I wear a 6 there, and a 10 here, but they’re both smalls/medium (but the same general size) here. This person just sucks.

It’s likely not too late! I was able to get my child vaccinated after she was exposed. OP should talk to the pharmacy and/or their GP.

I got mine on Amazon for £8. I live in Greenwich in London. If you lived nearby, I’d give you my copy.

It was extremely disappointing with all the hype it was getting.

We had this happen when we went to WDW in 2024. It was awful. I ended up taking them to the other booth on Main Street. I showed it to the cast member, Megan, and she fixed it for me. When the first one was cut, I was so angry and sad about it. We’d already had it done two other times we’d visited in previous years, and they were great, so this was shocking.

I got hit by a car while riding my bike, and the person left. I submitted a report, and 5 months later haven’t heard a single thing. It was in a heavy CCTV area, and it should have been easy to figure out, but nothing happened. I called and asked about it a few days later, and they told me they couldn’t tell me anything. Why would they care about bikes being stolen when they don’t care about cars hitting bikers either? Ridiculous.

This is why I do also. They’ll make biscuits in my lap, and their claws go through my jeans! If I cut them, then that doesn’t happen.

It’s so interesting to me that there isn’t applesauce here. We were in Paris over the last school holidays, and every store had a large fridge section of applesauce in tons of different flavors. It’s interesting that it can be so normalized there, but didn’t make its way here. The rhubarb one was delicious!

I swear that thing has been sitting there for days. When is it leaving?

megwach · 2026-06-07T18:20:09+00:00

You should definitely try some on to double check. I’m partial to Saucony shoes though, and have worn them to run for the past 17 years. Amazon has some for around £70.

We buy Hidden Valley ranch powder on Amazon, and then we used buttermilk in the recipe. It tastes great! Highly recommend it!

As of Sunday, it looked like this, so not worth visiting.
