Move-In / Move-Out Cleaning

Less to manage during a move

Prepare the home for what comes next

Moving already comes with enough to manage. Our move-in and move-out cleaning service is built for empty or nearly empty homes, giving our team better access to areas that are harder to reach during routine occupied-home cleaning.

We follow a defined scope, work through the property systematically, and take responsibility for the cleaning so you can focus on everything else involved in the move.

Moving out

Leave the property ready for the next occupant

Prepare the home for a buyer, tenant, landlord walkthrough, or final handoff with a detailed empty-home cleaning.

Moving in

Start with the home already cleaned

Have the property cleaned before furniture, boxes, and everyday life begin filling the rooms.

Move-in / move-out cleaning scope

What’s included

Bathrooms

Bathroom fixtures, surfaces, showers, tubs, toilets, and surrounding areas are cleaned according to the service scope.

Baseboards, doors, and trim

Accessible baseboards, doors, trim, and related surfaces receive more detailed attention than routine maintenance cleaning.

Floors throughout

Accessible floors are vacuumed and mopped according to flooring type and the selected service scope.

Surfaces and fixtures

Accessible surfaces, fixtures, ledges, and other included areas are cleaned throughout the home.

Built for moving transitions

More detailed than routine home maintenance

Move-in / move-out cleaning is built for a different condition than routine home maintenance. With the home empty, our team can reach areas that are normally blocked by furniture and personal belongings.

01
Built for an empty home Furniture and personal belongings should be removed before service so the team can reach floors, trim, cabinets, and other included areas throughout the home.
02
Access to areas that are usually blocked Empty cabinets, drawers, baseboards, trim, floors, and other transition-specific areas can be cleaned more effectively when the home is clear.
03
A clear handoff point The goal is to complete the booked cleaning scope before the next occupant, walkthrough, or stage of the move.

Before the appointment

A few things help us do the work properly

Because this service covers more transition-specific areas than routine upkeep, it usually requires more time. Preparing the property correctly gives the team the access needed to complete the booked scope.

01 / EMPTY HOME

The home should be empty

Furniture, boxes, personal belongings, and other obstacles should be removed before the appointment so the team can reach floors, cabinets, trim, and other included areas.

02 / UTILITIES

Water and electricity should be available

The team needs working utilities to use cleaning equipment, prepare solutions, clean surfaces, and complete the service properly.

03 / DEBRIS

Large debris should be removed beforehand

This service does not include hauling or removal of large debris, abandoned furniture, construction waste, or similar materials from the property.
