Move-Out Cleaning
A thorough clean to help protect your deposit or ready a listing.
Whether it's a security deposit or a listing photo, a move-out clean has one job: leave the space in the condition it needs to be in for someone else to inspect it. We treat every empty room — cabinets, closets, floors, fixtures — as something that's about to be scrutinized, because it usually is.
We approach it the same way an inspector or the next tenant would — starting with the areas that get checked first, like kitchens and bathrooms, and working through the rest of the unit from there.

Timing usually matters as much as the checklist for a move-out clean — share your deadline and we'll plan the visit so it lands with room to spare before your own inspection.
Before We Arrive
- Remove all furniture and personal belongings before we arrive, if possible
- Share your move-out or inspection deadline so we can time the visit accordingly
- Let us know about any landlord- or agent-specific checklist items
- Confirm access — keys, lockbox, or a walkthrough time — ahead of the visit
During the Visit

- 2Cabinet interiors, closets, baseboards, and floors are all covered
- 3Kitchens and bathrooms get particular attention, including sanitizing of high-touch surfaces like countertops, handles, and light switches, since they're the most commonly flagged areas in a move-out inspection

Frequently Asked Questions About Move-Out Cleaning
Will this guarantee I get my full deposit back?
+
We can't make promises about a landlord's specific inspection or deposit decision, but our job is to leave the unit in genuinely clean, move-out-ready condition.
How soon before my move-out date should I book?
+
We recommend booking as soon as your move-out date is confirmed, since move deadlines tend to cluster at the start and end of the month.
Do you clean if there's still furniture in the unit?
+
A full move-out clean works best in an empty unit. If furniture will still be present, let us know and we'll scope the visit accordingly.
What's the difference between this and a deep clean?
+
A deep clean is for a lived-in home you're staying in. This is scoped for an empty unit ahead of an inspection or handoff.
Can you coordinate directly with my landlord or property manager?
+
We typically coordinate through you, but if your landlord or property manager needs to provide access or a checklist directly, let us know and we'll work with what's needed.
