Kitchen post-construction cleaning in Tokyo
A hand-over clean for newly fitted or renovated kitchens, quoted per project before the visit.
Start with the inside of the cabinets
The first thing a customer does at handover is open a door. Inside new base and wall units we often find sawdust, drill dust, small screws, paper wrappers and a layer of fine dust from cutting the worktop. We empty the loose debris into bags, vacuum the corners, and wipe shelves, runners, drawer boxes and the inside of doors. Drawers are pulled out and cleaned underneath where the fitting allows, so that the first plate placed inside does not pick up dust.
Worktop, sink and splashback
Stone, laminate, stainless steel and solid-surface worktops each take a different cloth and product, and we choose by the material. The sink is cleaned of film, fingerprints and mineral marks, the taps are wiped and dried, and the splashback tiles or panel are cleaned. Fresh silicone or sealant smudges beside the sink and along the worktop edge are wiped with a surface-safe method. Cured sealant is part of the build, and we leave it untouched.
Protective film, tape and labels
Appliances and metal parts arrive wrapped in protective film, and the cooker, hood and sink may carry specification stickers. We remove protective film, curing tape, stickers and labels from the surfaces we clean, and we bag them for the site. We do this carefully on brushed stainless and glossy panels, because a rushed pull can leave adhesive trails. If a label has baked on, we tell you rather than risk the surface.
Hob, extractor hood and appliances
The hob, built-in oven front, dishwasher front and the outside of the extractor hood are wiped clean of dust, fingerprints and smudges. We wipe the visible surfaces and the grille of the hood. We do not dismantle appliances, and we do not clean the inside of ducts. If the appliance is fitted by a separate contractor who has not finished, we agree the order with you so that nothing is cleaned twice.
Doors, handles and the small details
Cabinet doors, handles, hinges, plinths and the edge strips between units collect fingerprints and dust from installation. These small parts are where an inspector looks. We wipe them by hand, check each door closes without trapping debris, and clean the glass of any display cabinet. Windows and sills in the kitchen can be included in the same visit if you wish.
Floor and final pass
With the work above finished, we vacuum and damp-mop the kitchen floor, including the strip along the plinth, and carry out a final detail pass with a checklist. We do not strip wax or run polishing machines, and we do not remove cured paint or adhesive damage. A scratch on a door or a chip in the worktop is a defect for the installer, and we list it in the photo report so that you have a record.
Price and planning
Kitchen post-construction cleaning is quoted per project at a fixed price, from plans, floor area, photos or a site look, before the work. Tell us the layout, whether the kitchen is open to a living room, whether the island or peninsula is fitted, the worktop material and whether other rooms are included. The price is confirmed by message before the visit and does not change on the day. A small kitchen is handled by one cleaner with a supervisor, a large commercial or open-plan kitchen by two cleaners with a supervisor, and a very large job by a team sized to the project.
Open-plan, rental and commercial kitchens
The same kitchen can be a family home, a rental unit before the first tenant, a cafe counter or a restaurant pass. In a rental we keep to a clean, neutral handover and a checklist the property manager can sign. In an open-plan home we also wipe the breakfast bar, the stools and the nearby wall, since dust drifts. In a shop or cafe we add the service counter and any stainless prep tables, and we agree before the visit which items belong to the fit-out and which the owner will bring later.
Waste and what we leave for you
Offcuts, packaging and loose fittings that are light enough for a bag are collected for the site’s own disposal. We do not haul away old kitchen units, large boxes or industrial waste, and hauling is not something we quote as part of this service. If your project has such material, tell us so that we can quote around it or leave a clear space, and we will say plainly what we cannot take.
After the visit and where we work
You receive a photo report. If something was missed and reported within 24 hours with a photo, we clean it again at no extra cost. Standard visits are 9:00 to 17:00, with out-of-hours work by agreement. We serve the 23 wards of Tokyo and Kanagawa, Saitama, Chiba, Ibaraki, Tochigi and Gunma, and we state travel cost before the booking is final outside the 23 wards. We bring all products and equipment, and we work in English and Japanese.

Frequently asked questions
Do you clean inside the cabinets?
Yes. We remove sawdust and fine dust and wipe shelves, runners, drawers and the inside of doors.
Can you remove stickers and film from appliances?
Yes, from the surfaces we clean. If a label has baked on and removing it would risk the surface, we tell you instead.
Do you clean the extractor duct?
No. We wipe the visible hood and grille only. Duct cleaning is not part of our service.
Is the kitchen quoted separately?
It can be quoted alone or as part of a whole-property handover, at a fixed price confirmed before the visit.
