Move-out cleaning service

Services

A move-out cleaning service is a comprehensive deep cleaning of a property performed after you have moved all your belongings out. The goal of this service is to restore the home to a pristine, «like-new» condition, which is often a requirement for tenants to receive their security deposit back or for sellers to present their home in the best light. Since the property is empty, professional cleaners can access every corner, nook, and cranny that is difficult to reach during regular, day-to-day cleaning.

What a move-out cleaning typically includes

A professional move-out cleaning typically involves a top-to-bottom, deep cleaning of every room. The exact checklist can vary, but generally includes:

Kitchen:Deep cleaning and sanitizing the insides and outsides of all appliances (oven, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave), wiping down all countertops, and scrubbing sinks and faucets.
Bathrooms: Scrubbing, disinfecting, and sanitizing showers, bathtubs, toilets, and sinks. Cleaners will also focus on removing built-up soap scum and water stains from fixtures and grout.
Floors: Vacuuming all carpets, mopping all hard surfaces, and paying special attention to edges and corners.
Walls and baseboards: Wiping down all walls, door frames, and baseboards to remove scuffs, marks, and grime.
Windows: Cleaning all interior windows and wiping down sills and tracks.
Cabinets and closets: Wiping down the inside and outside of all cabinets, drawers, and closets after they have been emptied.
Other details: Removing cobwebs from ceilings, dusting light fixtures and ceiling fans, and wiping down all high-touch surfaces like light switches and doorknobs.

Why hire a move-out cleaning service?

Secure your security deposit: For renters, this is the main benefit. Most lease agreements require the property to be left in a clean and well-maintained condition. A professional service ensures these requirements are met, significantly increasing your chances of getting your full deposit back.
Reduce moving stress: Moving is already a time-consuming and exhausting process. Hiring professionals to handle the deep cleaning allows you to focus on the logistics of getting settled in your new home.
Guaranteed quality: Professional cleaners use specialized equipment and techniques to achieve a level of cleanliness that is difficult for a non-expert to accomplish, including tackling tough stains and deep-seated grime.
Leave a good impression: If you are selling your home, a sparkling-clean property is more attractive to potential buyers. For renters, leaving a spotless apartment ensures a positive relationship with your former landlord.

How do I prepare my new home for move-in cleaning?

To prepare your home for a move-out cleaning, the most important step is to completely empty the property of all belongings, trash, and personal items. This gives the cleaning professionals full access to every surface, corner, and appliance for a thorough, deep clean.
