PCS Move-Out Cleaning Checklist for Wiesbaden Military Families

Why PCS cleaning matters in Wiesbaden

Whether you live in on-post housing at Hainerberg or Aukamm, or rent off-post from a German landlord, your move-out inspection decides whether you leave on time and keep your deposit. German inspections are known for being detailed, so a normal tidy-up is rarely enough.

Planning your cleaning early in your PCS timeline takes a lot of stress off the last week before you fly out.

Kitchen

Degrease the oven, racks and stovetop. Clean inside and behind the fridge and freezer after defrosting. Wipe all cabinets inside and out, descale the sink and taps, and clean the extractor hood and filter.

Bathrooms

Remove limescale from showers, tiles, glass and fittings — Wiesbaden has hard water, and limescale is one of the most common reasons inspections fail. Clean grout, drains, toilet base and mirrors.

Living areas and bedrooms

Clean windows inside and out, including frames and the Rollläden (roller shutters). Wipe skirting boards, doors, light switches and radiators. Vacuum and mop all floors, including under where furniture stood.
