Deep Cleaning Services in Gibraltar: Property Restoration & Hygiene

Scenario A — The End-of-Tenancy Deposit Saver

Target: Tenants in Eurotowers, Ocean Village, West One, The Hub

The Pain Point: Gibraltar landlords and estate agents are notoriously precise on deposit returns. A smear on a mirror or dust on a skirting board can result in deductions of hundreds of pounds. Most tenants underestimate the standard required.

The RHS Solution: We know the exact inventory checklists used by Gibraltar’s leading estate agents. Our end of tenancy cleaning Gibraltar service is structured to guarantee the standard required for check-out. We clean the items you forget: tops of kitchen cupboards, washing machine door seals, extractor fan filters, and the silicone tracks on all sliding doors.

Scenario B — The Post-Calima Reset

Target: Penthouse, terrace, and villa owners

The Pain Point: You wake up after a rainstorm during a Calima episode to find your terrace, windows, and indoor curtains coated in fine red dust. Attempting to wipe this with a wet cloth turns it into red mud — and stains your façade permanently.

The RHS Solution: We don’t sweep Calima — we extract it. Industrial HEPA vacuums remove dry silica particles first, preventing them becoming airborne or forming paste. We then use high-pressure washing on terraces and microfibre wet-lift techniques on interior glazing to remove residue without scratching the surface.

Scenario C — The Mould & Humidity Defence

Target: South District, Upper Town, and older stone property residents

The Pain Point: Musty smells in wardrobes. Black spots on bathroom ceilings or in shower silicone. This is not merely unsightly — it is a documented health hazard for respiratory conditions.

The RHS Solution: We identify moisture traps. Our team moves wardrobes where safe to clean behind them. Affected surfaces are treated with professional fungistatic solutions that not only remove visible mould but leave a protective inhibitory barrier against regrowth.

Scenario D — The Move-In or New Baby Clean

Target: New homeowners and growing families

The Pain Point: You are moving into a property that appears “clean” — but you have no knowledge of who lived there before, what products they used, or what lurks in the corners.

The RHS Solution: Our move-in cleaning checklist sanitises all high-touch points including door handles and light switches. We steam clean floors and soft furnishings to a standard safe for crawling babies, using 100°C steam that kills 99.9% of bacteria without harsh chemicals.

Mould Remediation — The Fungistatic Process

Mould is a fungus. Standard bleach merely bleaches the visible colour; it rarely penetrates the root structure in porous surfaces. Our fungistatic cleaning agents are formulated to inhibit fungal growth at the substrate level. Applied to bathroom ceilings, shower silicone, and wardrobe interiors, they create a hostile environment for spore activity — buying you significantly more time between deep cleans.

Steam Sanitisation — Heat Without Chemicals

For homes with pets or allergies, we offer steam cleaning as part of our deep clean package. Water heated to over 100°C sanitises tile floors, upholstery, and curtains without any chemical residue. This method kills 99.9% of bacteria and dust mites on contact — critical for families with young children or anyone with respiratory sensitivities.

The RHS Satisfaction Guarantee

Not satisfied with any aspect of your deep clean? Call us within 24 hours. We return and re-clean the specific area at no charge. That is our commitment to quality.

How long does a deep clean take?

Unlike a standard cleaning service which is time-based, a deep clean is task-based. For a 2-bedroom apartment in Gibraltar, a team of two professionals typically requires 4 to 6 hours, depending on the condition of the property. We do not leave until the checklist is complete.

Do you clean external windows and terraces?

Yes. External window cleaning and terrace pressure washing are available as add-ons to any deep clean package. This is strongly recommended following a Calima storm, where silica deposits on external glazing need extraction before they can bond permanently.

Is a deep clean necessary for end of tenancy?

Absolutely. A standard clean rarely meets the standard required by Gibraltar landlords and estate agents for deposit return. Our end of tenancy cleaning Gibraltar service follows a specific checklist that mirrors the inventory check documentation used by the Rock’s leading letting agents.

Can you remove black mould completely?

We remove surface mould and apply a fungistatic treatment to inhibit regrowth. If the mould is caused by structural damp or a leaking pipe — common in older Upper Town buildings — we will clean what is accessible and advise you on the structural repair required. We do not cover up problems; we identify them.

How often should I book a deep clean in Gibraltar?

Most of our residential clients book a deep clean once or twice a year — typically after summer (to address salt accumulation and dust baked onto surfaces) and after winter (to address the mould risk from prolonged Levante periods). Properties in the South District or Upper Town with older stone walls may benefit from three annual deep cleans given elevated humidity retention.
