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)
  • Window cleaner
  • Limescale remover for toilets and faucets
  • Mop
  • Vacuum cleaner
  • Cleaning agent suitable for parquet floors

🏠 The deep cleaning includes all areas (even those not explicitly listed):
