Frequently Asked Questions
How much does move-in cleaning cost?
Pricing varies based on home size, condition, and whether the visit is standard or deep cleaning. The biggest drivers are bathrooms, heavy buildup, and time-consuming add-ons like inside ovens, inside fridges, and interior windows. For an accurate price, define the scope and list any add-ons up front.
What’s included in a move-in cleaning?
Move-in cleaning is designed to reset a home before you settle in. It includes detailed cleaning of kitchens and bathrooms, dusting surfaces, wiping doors/switches, vacuuming, and mopping all accessible floors. We also clean inside appliances, inside cabinets/drawers, and interior windows as add-ons; confirm these before booking.
Move-in cleaning vs deep cleaning — what’s the difference?
Move-in cleaning is about resetting a home for living, while deep cleaning is about removing buildup and detailed grime. A move-in clean often prioritizes making surfaces and high-touch areas feel fresh, sometimes with optional inside cabinets/appliances. A deep clean focuses on detail intensity—choose based on whether your goal is a livable reset or a buildup-focused detail.
Should move-in cleaning be done before furniture is moved in?
Yes—move-in cleaning is best done before furniture and boxes are moved in so more surfaces are accessible and the results are more thorough. If scheduling doesn’t allow that, a move-in clean can still be done after you’ve moved in, but it may be limited to reachable areas and can take longer. For best results, we strongly recommend having cabinets, shelves, drawers, and closets empty so we can clean the maximum number of surfaces before you start enjoying your new home.
How long does move-in cleaning take?
We typically keep all of our cleanings between 3–4 hours by scheduling the right number of cleaners based on the total man-hours budgeted for your home. The man-hours needed depend on square footage, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, whether it’s a standard or deep move-in clean, and the number and scope of add-ons (like inside appliances, cabinets, drawers, or interior windows). For the most accurate time expectation, confirm the checklist and add-ons up front so the scope matches the schedule.
Do I need to provide supplies, water, or electricity?
We provide all cleaning supplies and standard equipment needed for the service. However, running water and electricity are required to perform our cleanings—this is necessary for tasks like cleaning sinks, vacuuming, and mopping. If you’d like us to use specific products (fragrance-free, pet-safe, or your own), leave them out and tell us during booking.
What’s a good move-in cleaning checklist?
A good move-in checklist covers the whole home: remove cobwebs, dust surfaces/fixtures/vents/blinds/baseboards, wipe high-touch points, and vacuum/sweep/mop all floors. In the kitchen and bathrooms, it should include detailed cleaning of sinks, counters, fixtures, showers/tubs, toilets, and cabinet fronts—plus inside appliances and inside cabinets/drawers when those areas are empty and accessible. For the most complete reset, prioritize kitchens and bathrooms first, then add detail items like interior windows, inside oven/fridge, and deep baseboard work as needed.
How much does move-out cleaning cost?
Pricing varies based on home size, condition, and whether the visit is standard or deep cleaning. The biggest drivers are bathrooms, heavy buildup, and time-consuming add-ons like inside ovens, inside fridges, and interior windows. For an accurate price, define the scope and list any add-ons up front.
What’s included in a move-out clean?
Move-out cleaning is designed to reset a home for handoff. It includes detailed cleaning of kitchens and bathrooms, dusting surfaces, wiping doors/switches, vacuuming, and mopping all accessible floors. Inside the oven and inside the refrigerator are included in our standard move-out price. Interior windows and inside cabinets/drawers are available as add-ons; confirm these before booking.
Does move-out cleaning help you get your deposit back?
Move-out cleaning can improve how a home presents and may reduce issues found during a walkthrough. Deposits depend on the lease and the property’s standards, so cleaning isn’t a guarantee—but it helps you meet typical cleanliness expectations. If you’re cleaning for a deposit, be sure our checklist aligns with the landlord’s checklist and prioritize the kitchen, bathrooms, and floors.
Move-out cleaning vs deep cleaning — what’s the difference?
Move-out cleaning is about resetting a home for handoff, while deep cleaning is about removing buildup and detailed grime. A move-out clean often prioritizes making surfaces and high-touch areas feel fresh for the next occupant. A deep clean focuses on detail intensity — choose based on whether your goal is a handoff reset or a buildup-focused detail.
How long does move-out cleaning take?
We typically keep all of our cleanings between 3–4 hours by scheduling the right number of cleaners based on the total man-hours budgeted for your home. The man-hours needed depend on square footage, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, whether it’s a standard or deep move-in clean, and the number and scope of add-ons (like inside appliances, cabinets, drawers, or interior windows). For the most accurate time expectation, confirm the checklist and add-ons up front so the scope matches the schedule.
Do you clean inside appliances (oven/fridge) for move-out?
Yes — inside the oven and inside the refrigerator are included in our standard move-out cleaning price. This is part of the move-out reset so the home is ready for handoff. If you have additional requests (like inside cabinets/drawers or interior windows), let us know ahead of time so we can confirm scope and schedule.
Do I need to be there, or can cleaners work with a lockbox?
Many clients are not present during the cleaning. Lockboxes, door codes, and key drop-offs are common, and you can share any alarm or pet instructions. For peace of mind, confirm the access plan and how the home will be secured when the job is finished.
