This checklist reflects what's typically included; exact scope is confirmed at the time of your quote based on your home's size and condition.

What's the Difference?

Move-in and move-out cleaning use the same deep-clean checklist. The difference is timing and priority, not the task list itself. Move-out cleaning happens after furniture is removed and focuses on leaving the space inspection-ready. Move-in cleaning happens before you unpack and focuses on sanitizing a space someone else recently occupied.

Move-Out Cleaning Move-In Cleaning
Primary goal Leave the space in good condition for landlord inspection or next occupant Start fresh before belongings are unpacked
Best done when After furniture is removed, before final walkthrough Before moving boxes/furniture in
Common client Renters ending a lease, landlords between tenants New homeowners, renters starting a lease, realtors prepping a listing
Focus areas Cabinets, appliances, baseboards, floors, deposit-related detail work Same deep-clean scope, with attention to sanitizing high-touch areas before move-in

If a home is still furnished at the time of cleaning, let us know when you request a quote. It can affect access to certain areas (behind furniture, inside closets) and may adjust the scope or price.

What Affects the Cost

There's no flat rate for move-in/out cleaning because cost depends on the specific home.

Square Footage & Layout

The number of bedrooms and bathrooms and overall square footage are the starting point for any estimate.

Current Condition

Homes that need more detail work, such as heavy buildup inside appliances or cabinets, take longer to complete.

Furnished or Empty

A home that's still furnished at the time of cleaning can affect access to certain areas and may adjust the scope.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in a move out cleaning?

A move-out cleaning covers the kitchen (inside and outside cabinets, appliance interiors, countertops), bathrooms (descaling, grout attention, fixtures), bedrooms and living areas (baseboards, light fixtures, window sills and tracks, closets), and whole-home details like door frames and general dusting. Floors are vacuumed and mopped throughout. Exact scope is confirmed at the time of your quote.

Are move-out cleaning services worth it?

Moving already involves packing, logistics, and deadlines, so handing off a top-to-bottom deep clean frees up time during a stressful period. A move-out cleaning also addresses the detail-level work, such as inside cabinets and appliances, that landlords and property managers commonly check during a final walkthrough.

What does a move out deep clean include?

A move-out deep clean goes beyond a surface wipe-down. It includes the inside of the oven and refrigerator, cabinet and drawer interiors, descaling in showers and tubs, baseboards, light fixtures and switch plates, window sills and tracks, vents, and interior door frames, in addition to vacuuming and mopping all floors.

What does a move-in clean consist of?

A move-in clean uses the same deep-clean checklist as a move-out clean, covering kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, and living areas in detail. The difference is timing and purpose: it happens before you unpack, with attention to sanitizing high-touch surfaces a previous occupant recently used.

How to price a move out cleaning?

There is no flat rate for move-out cleaning because cost depends on the specific home. The main factors are square footage, the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, the current condition of the home, and whether the space is still furnished at the time of cleaning. The most accurate way to get a price is to request a custom quote.

How many hours does a move out clean take?

Duration depends on the size and current condition of the home. A smaller, lightly used space takes less time than a larger home or one that needs more detail work. We confirm an estimated timeframe as part of your quote once we know your home's size and condition.

What should a move out clean consist of?

A move-out clean should leave every room ready for a landlord inspection or the next occupant: cabinets and appliances cleaned inside and out, bathrooms descaled and sanitized, baseboards and light fixtures wiped down, closets cleaned out, and all floors vacuumed and mopped. It is a full deep clean, not a routine tidy-up.
