Move-In & Move-Out Cleaning FAQs

What is included in a move-in or move-out cleaning?

Move-in and move-out cleaning includes detailed cleaning of kitchens, bathrooms, appliances, cabinets, floors, and all surfaces. This service is more thorough than a standard cleaning and is designed to prepare the space for a new occupant.

How is move-out cleaning different from a deep clean?

Move-out cleaning focuses on fully resetting an empty home, including inside cabinets, drawers, and appliances. A deep clean is typically performed in a furnished home and focuses more on buildup and detail cleaning.

Do I need to be present during the cleaning?

No, you do not need to be present. As long as we have access to the space, we can complete the cleaning and follow up afterward if needed. We do always encourage customers to complete a walkthrough at the end of the service to ensure 100% satisfaction.
