To think the only time a home is properly cleaned, is when you're about to move out of it?

This makes me sound like a right grubby slattern, but we're about to leave the house we've lived in for nearly three years and it's occurred to me that there are a number of cleaning jobs that I've neglected to do whilst getting pissed with friends carrying on with day to day life, and can't conscion leaving to the new owners (such as cleaning the cooker hood, probably done once or twice since I've been here, cleaning behind the fridge - because really who does that? dusting the cobwebs in our 16ft ceilings, tidying out the shed of the spiders etc etc etc). Am I a grubby mare - does everyone else have a schedule?

Basically, the state we live in normally I think is fairly standardly clean - I do the bathroom and kitchen reasonably thoroughly weekly with a three - six month deep clean (i.e. emptying out cupboards etc) but when you're moving out, a higher standard is needed.

Or am I worrying too much, and those moving in will expect to do a deep clean as opposed to an every day one?

Life is to short for prolific cleaning, my grandmother insists on this and as a result her entire life is cooking, cleaning and gardening. I prefer to have an actual life
