Move-In / Move-Out Cleaning FAQ

When should I schedule a move-out cleaning?

Ideally after your belongings are out, so we can access every surface — and before your final walkthrough or new tenants arrive.

Do I need to add on the oven, refrigerator or interior windows?

No. A move-in/move-out clean already includes the inside of the refrigerator and freezer, the inside of the stove and oven, the inside of empty cabinets and drawers, and interior windowpanes. You are never charged extra for work this checklist already covers.

Do you clean empty homes only?

We can clean occupied or empty homes, but move-in/move-out cleans are most thorough once the space is empty.

Will this help me get my deposit back?

A thorough move-out clean addresses the areas most landlords check, though deposit decisions are ultimately up to your landlord or property manager.

Can you clean before the movers arrive?

Yes — just let us know your timeline when you request a quote and we'll work around your move day.

What do light, moderate and heavy condition mean?

Our quote form asks you to rate your home's condition from 1 to 10, with 1 the cleanest. 1–3 is light: the home is kept up regularly, with everyday dust and no buildup in the kitchen or bathrooms. 4–6 is moderate: lived-in, with visible dust on surfaces and baseboards, soap scum or water spots in the bathrooms, some grease on the stovetop, pet hair and a little clutter to work around. 7–9 is heavy: significant buildup such as thick dust, grease on cabinets and appliances, hard-water staining, mildew in the shower, or clutter that needs organizing before we can clean. A 10, meaning extraordinary clutter, is custom priced after we see photos or talk it through with you. If the home turns out to be at a different level than described, we talk with you before doing any additional work, then adjust the price and document why.
