Move-Out Cleaning

When people move, it’s generally a good idea to leave their old residence in good condition for the next occupant. If a home is rented, leaving it clean is normally a requirement for having a deposit returned. Even when a property is owned and will be occupied by a buyer’s family, it’s customary to leave the property clean. That doesn’t mean everything must be pristine, but the property should be ready for the new owners to move in.

So, what would a move-out cleaning include? It depends on the property, but anyone moving out should make sure floors, walls, appliances, and bathrooms are all clean and ready to use. In some cases, specific requirements will be spelled out in the contracts, but most agreements do not include a lot of cleaning demands.

We’ll clean the types of items normally covered in a deep cleaning plus other items that your landlord or home purchaser may require. Again, we’ll always review what types of cleaning will or won’t be covered before starting. The best way to ensure you get a damage deposit returned or the new owner is happy is to schedule a thorough cleaning for the day you move out. The base fee for move-out cleaning is $300 and will increase for larger properties or if unique conditions exist.

If you’re an apartment owner, you already know that not all renters are going to leave a unit in good condition. You also know that prospective tenants are unlikely to sign a lease for a unit that’s not clean and ready for occupancy.

Apartment owners also know that time is of the essence, as an empty unit doesn’t generate any income. It’s always important to schedule a complete house cleaning for rentals as soon as a tenant vacates the property. Even if the renter made a cursory attempt to clean the unit, it’s rare to have one leave the unit in ready-to-move-into condition. Contact our cleaning team to get the help you need fast.

Move-In Cleaning

Not everyone will take the time to clean a home or rental unit properly when they move out. That’s why most new residents will take the time to clean a home before they actually move in. If the former residents took care of basic cleaning before moving out, the move-in cleaning process will not generally be a big problem, but there are times when new residents are faced with significant cleaning chores.

Appliances may not have been cleaned, which means the new resident may not be comfortable stocking the refrigerator or cooking on a stove that’s dirty. Light fixtures, ceiling fans, and even switch plates may be dirty. Walls may need cleaning before furniture is placed, and closets may not have been cleaned in years. It’s always a good idea to work with cleaning experts to determine which areas are safe to use and which ones should be cleaned prior to occupying the property.

With health issues being so important today, our team of cleaning experts will make sure all touch surfaces are sanitized prior to moving in. That’s especially important if anyone in your household has underlying health conditions that make it easier to contract viruses and other illnesses.

Our move-in cleaning services start at $150. As you might expect, larger homes or properties that are especially dirty will result in a larger estimate. As always, we discuss what services we’ll provide and what the costs of those services will be before doing any work.
