Deep Cleaning of Shared Apartments – Important Information for Residents
STUWO carries out inspections of thoroughly cleaned shared apartments every June.
If there is a change of tenant within the flatshare (WG), a full deep cleaning must be completed by the current tenants before moving out.
✅ What needs to be done?
Below is a list of all areas that must be cleaned thoroughly, along with the recommended cleaning agents and tools.
🧽 Cleaning supplies:
- Rubber gloves
- Steel wool for cleaning the oven is necessary
- Paper towels, sponges, microfiber cloths
- Glass-ceramic scraper and cleaner
- Cillit Bang Power Cleaner (use only with gloves)
- Toilet tabs (leave in the toilet overnight – or use for soaking burnt spots in the oven, but clean thoroughly afterward)
- White vinegar and baking powder (a cheap, natural cleaning agent – effective against limescale and excellent for oven cleaning)

- Mop
- Vacuum cleaner
- Cleaning agent suitable for parquet floors
🏠 The deep cleaning includes all areas (even those not explicitly listed):
