Move-Out Cleaning

Move-in/move-out cleaning is a specialized cleaning service that aims to remove dust and dirt from a home after the owners or tenants have moved out. Our cleaning company can reach areas of the home that were perhaps never touched during occupancy. The job can also be tailored to address specific areas. Here’s what a move-in/move-out cleaning job might include: We cover everything from standard cleaning services to deep cleaning options such as wet wiping baseboards, Blinds, and Cabinets. We can deep clean the inside of your fridge and oven as well!

Kitchen: In addition to sanitizing the sink, backsplash and countertop, our move-in/move-out cleaning company will clean the interior and exterior of the cabinets, clean the inside of the oven and stovetop, wipe down appliances that will remain for the next occupants, and clean the inside of the refrigerator.

Bathroom: During a move-in/move-out cleaning, the cleaners will scrub the sink, disinfect the toilet, dust any cabinets or shelves, sanitize all shower and tub surfaces to remove any lingering mildew, and mop or sweep the floors including wet wiping baseboards.

Living areas and bedrooms: The cleaners will thoroughly dust ceilings, walls and baseboards; sweep or vacuum floors/wipe down banisters, light switches and door knobs; clean and dust windows, framings, blinds, and window treatments; and clean areas that couldn’t be reached during occupancy due to the presence of bulky furniture.

Who Needs Move In/Out Cleaning Services

Those who benefit from move-in/move-out cleaning services include tenants, landlords and individuals who have recently bought or sold a home. Whether you are required to hire a move-in/move-out cleaning service will depend upon the agreement you have in place with your landlord or buyer. If you’ve purchased a home, you may decide on your own to hire move-in/move-out cleaners to prepare the property before you move in.

Some landlords require tenants to thoroughly clean the unit before they will return the security deposit. If you have such an agreement, carefully review the language of your lease and communicate with your landlord to fully understand what their expectations are for the unit’s condition upon vacancy. With this information in hand, you can pass along specific instructions to our cleaning company. Even if a landlord doesn’t require deep cleaning, they usually ask for some tidying. However, if your move is happening in a very short time frame, you may choose to save time by hiring housekeepers to do a basic cleaning (dusting, vacuuming, trash removal) after you vacate.

If you vacate your home before selling it, a move-in/move-out cleaning will improve how the property shows to potential buyers. If you have a real estate trust, you should have it professionally cleaned after you’ve cleared out the furnishings and before you rent or sell.

Allergy sufferers: Hiring a move-in/move-out cleaning company is a good idea for those who suffer from severe allergies or have strong sensitivities to odors. The cleaners can eliminate much of the dust and pet dander that affect allergy sufferers and reduce the lingering presence of cigarette smoke or other odor-causing agents. If you can’t rest until every last speck of dirt in your home is swept away, you’ll likely be much more comfortable if you hire a move-in/move-out cleaner before settling into your new home.
