Move-In & Move-Out Cleaning
A clean start for your next move.
Moving brings enough work without having to clean an entire home. Our move-in and move-out cleaning service focuses on empty or mostly empty properties, including the detailed areas that become accessible after furniture and belongings are removed.
Whether you are leaving a home or preparing to settle into one, we provide a clear scope based on the property’s condition and your priorities.
-
Leave It Clean or Begin With a Fresh Start
Move-out cleaning helps prepare a property for its next occupant after furniture, boxes, and personal belongings have been removed. Move-in cleaning gives you the chance to have surfaces, cabinets, bathrooms, and floors cleaned before your belongings arrive.
The cleaning work is similar, but your priorities may be different. We build the estimate around the home’s condition, the areas needing attention, and whether you are moving in or moving out.
-
The best time to schedule
For the most complete and efficient cleaning, schedule the service after the home is empty and all moving, repair, and maintenance work is finished.
For a move-out, cleaning should usually take place after your belongings have been removed but before keys are returned. For a move-in, schedule the cleaning before furniture and boxes arrive whenever possible.
-
Cleanable soil versus property damage
Cleaning can remove accessible dust, dirt, grease, residue, and other cleanable soil. It cannot correct permanent staining, scratches, worn finishes, damaged flooring, etched surfaces, failed caulk, broken fixtures, or other conditions requiring repair or restoration.
We will clean the areas included in your estimate using surface-appropriate methods and identify conditions that appear to be damage rather than removable soil.

An empty home allows us to reach cabinets, closets, baseboards, floors, and other areas more efficiently. All furniture, boxes, food, clothing, personal belongings, and moving debris should be removed before we arrive.
We may be able to clean a mostly empty property, but blocked or occupied areas may be excluded. Tell us about any remaining items when requesting your estimate so we can set the correct scope.
-
These services are not automatically included but may be added when listed in your approved estimate:
Inside oven cleaning
Inside refrigerator cleaning
Interior window glass
Detailed blind cleaning
Additional buildup removal
Garage sweeping or cleaning
Wall spot-cleaning or washing
Other property-specific cleaning requests
Please request these services before the appointment so we can allow enough time and include them in the estimate.

Move-in and move-out cleaning does not automatically include:
Exterior window cleaning
Carpet or upholstery extraction
Heavy debris, junk, or furniture removal
Construction or renovation dust
Paint, adhesive, grout, or caulk removal
Mold, biohazard, pest, or bodily-fluid cleanup
Moving heavy furniture or appliances
Repairs, restoration, or refinishing

Permanent stains, wear, damage, and odors caused by underlying property conditions may remain after cleaning.
-
Before we arrive:
Remove furniture, boxes, food, clothing, and personal belongings
Remove unwanted items and moving debris
Complete repairs, painting, and contractor work
Empty cabinets, drawers, closets, and appliances being cleaned
Keep water, electricity, lighting, and climate control operating
Make sure appliances and fixtures are connected and safe to access
Provide entry, alarm, parking, and locking instructions
Tell us about damaged, fragile, or recently refinished surfaces
Make sure other workers will not be using the cleaned areas
Cleaning around movers, contractors, or active repairs can affect the final result and may require additional work.
-
The property must have working water, electricity, lighting, and safe indoor conditions during the appointment. We also need clear access to every room and surface included in the estimate.
If utilities are disconnected, the property is unsafe, or we cannot enter the home, some or all of the service may need to be rescheduled.
-
Cleaning time depends on the property’s size, layout, condition, number of kitchens and bathrooms, remaining belongings, buildup, and approved services.
Homes with heavy residue, neglected surfaces, pet hair, or unfinished moving work may require more time. If the condition is substantially different from the information used for the estimate, we will discuss the scope with you before completing additional work.
-
Do I need to be at the property?
No. You may provide access and locking instructions. We will confirm entry details before the appointment.
Can you clean while movers are working?
We recommend scheduling after the movers finish. Active moving can block rooms, create new dust and debris, and cause already-cleaned floors or surfaces to become dirty again.
Are inside cabinets and drawers included?
Yes, empty cabinet and drawer interiors are included when listed in your approved scope. They must be completely emptied before we arrive.
Do you clean inside appliances?
Inside oven and refrigerator cleaning must be requested and included in the estimate. Appliances must be empty, accessible, and safe to clean.
Will this guarantee the return of my security deposit?
No cleaning company can guarantee a deposit decision. Property managers and landlords may consider damage, lease requirements, unpaid balances, and other conditions beyond cleaning.
Can you remove items left behind?
Routine household trash within the agreed scope may be removed. Furniture, heavy debris, unwanted belongings, and large-volume disposal are not automatically included.
Can you clean after renovation work?
Construction and renovation residue require different equipment, procedures, and pricing. Tell us if work was recently completed so we can determine whether post-construction cleaning is needed.
Ready for a Cleaner Move?
Tell us whether you are moving in or moving out, when the property will be empty, and which areas need attention. We will review the condition and requested scope before providing a clear estimate.
