Saving you time and money
Move-in/move-out cleaning is a specialized cleaning service that aims to remove
bacteria, 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. We offer all customers a bundle discount when booking both a house cleaning and carpet cleaning together. The cleanings can be performed on separate dates as long as it is within a week of the other service.
Customize your Move-Out Cleaning
The job can be customized to address specific areas and needs. Don’t pay for items you can do yourself or don’t need completed. For example, you may be taking your appliances with you in the move. You may have had your walls and baseboards painted recently and don’t need them cleaned. Unlike other cleaning services, we let you pick and choose what items need to be cleaned and which to discard. 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 blinds and cleaning inside cabinets and window cleaning. We can deep clean the inside of your fridge and oven as well!
Kitchen: The most traffic in any home is usually found in the kitchen. When you move, it is typically the area that needs the most attention. In addition to sanitizing the sink, backsplash, and countertop, our standard move-in/move-out cleaning includes wet wiping the baseboards, the exterior of the cabinets, the stovetop, wiping down the outside of appliances that will remain for the next occupants, and sweeping and mopping the floor.
Bathroom: Typically the dirtiest room in every house, bathroom cleaning is a tough job! During the standard move-in/move-out cleaning, the cleaners will scrub the sink, disinfect the toilet, wet wipe cabinets and shelves, sanitize all shower and tub surfaces to remove any lingering mildew, and sweep and mop the floors, including wet wiping baseboards.
Living areas and bedrooms: The cleaners will thoroughly dust ceilings, walls, and fans and check for cobwebs. Wet wipe baseboards; sweep or vacuum floors. Wipe down banisters, light switches, and door knobs; clean and dust window sills and ledges, and frame; and clean areas that couldn’t be reached during occupancy due to the presence of bulky furniture.

Who Needs Move-In/Out Cleaning Services?
Real Estate Agents
We work closely with real estate professionals to make their job easier when assisting clients. We know agents are busy assisting clients in so many areas. From communicating with buyers and sellers, meeting inspectors, and handling closings—time is not exactly on your side! We provide a convenient “one-stop shop” for all cleaning needs when selling a home. From deep cleaning the home to deodorizing and steam cleaning carpets, we go above and beyond to ensure this is one less thing to stress about. We offer a fully backed 100% satisfaction guarantee for all cleanings. We have a great referral program for real estate agents who find us clients to help in the move-out process. Whether it’s a small carpet cleaning job or a full move-out or move-in house cleaning, we provide the agent and client with the most affordable and easier transition than any other cleaning service in the area. We also offer a very generous referral program for agent referrals.
Renters
Others who benefit from move-in/move-out cleaning services include renters, 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.
We specialize in deep cleaning apartments, townhomes, and other homes that rent in the area. 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.
We even offer a “bundle discount” when booking a house cleaning and carpet cleaning together. Even if a landlord doesn’t require deep cleaning, they usually ask for a standard cleaning. 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.
Staging
First impressions matter, so make sure the interior of your home stands out the instant potential buyers walk in the front door. A few suggestions: Schedule a deep cleaning to make the home more appealing with clean baseboards, cabinets, and shiny appliances. Schedule a carpet steam cleaning to maintain color and take away most stains.
Kitchens sell houses, so making sure they’re properly cleaned has the potential to go a long way. We thoroughly clean all surfaces, counters, sinks, floors, and outside appliances. If you want a deep cleaning, you can always upgrade to a deep cleaning of the inside of cabinets, fridge, and oven.
Bathrooms are the worst! Nothing will turn off a potential buyer more than a scuzzy bathroom. Remove hard-water stains from faucets, make sure there is no sign of mold and mildew in showers, and make sure toilet and tub areas shine. Invest in new shower curtains, rugs, and bath mats. Then when all that cleaning is done, create a spa look with fluffy white towels, candles, a few fancy soaps, and a couple of apothecary-style accessories. Staging a home goes a long way in selling your home quickly.
Showings—Same Day Cleaning Services
Life can be unpredictable, and sometimes you find yourself in need of a house cleaning at a moment’s notice. If you have a last-minute showing or you have a photographer coming by to take photos in a very short time frame, you may choose to save time by hiring a same-day cleaning service to do a basic cleaning (dusting, disinfecting, vacuuming, trash removal, etc.). Same-day cleaning requests differ from regular housekeeping services in several key ways:
Urgency:
Last-minute cleaning needs often arise from unexpected situations that require immediate attention, such as preparing for surprise visitors or dealing with a cleaning emergency. Our same day cleaning availability in most cases can assist.
Availability:
Finding cleaners who can accommodate same-day requests can be challenging, as many professionals have pre-scheduled appointments and limited availability. We do work diligently to accommodate such same-day cleaning requests, however. Don’t hesitate to reach out to check availability for same-day cleaning services in your area.
Flexibility:
Same-day cleaning services often require a higher level of flexibility from both the cleaner and the client, as schedules may need to be adjusted to accommodate last-minute requests. We do pride ourselves on staying flexible with everyone, opening up spots for same-day cleaning for other clients.
Customization:
Guests sometimes come over unexpectedly. Whether you need just your bathrooms cleaned or certain floors of your home, we can accommodate. Call or text for same-day cleaning availability.
Moving In
Stepping into a new home should be a joyous occasion, but the need for thorough cleaning can overshadow the excitement. Don’t let the burden of cleaning dampen your big move. Instead, trust in our expertise to prepare your space for those first unforgettable moments. Specializing in move-in cleaning, our team ensures your new residence welcomes you with spotless floors, gleaming surfaces, and that fresh, ready-to-live-in feel. Even if you were told the home had been cleaned previously, we can still offer a standard cleaning for that “peace of mind” feeling. If your home needs a deep cleaning, you may want to invest in a deep move-in cleaning, including wet wiping all baseboards, cabinets, blinds, and glass cleaning all interior windows. We can also thoroughly clean inside the fridge and oven. See your free quote for a move-out/move-in house cleaning on our booking page.
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. You can still get a clean home without the smell of cleaning chemicals. We offer a variety of cleaning agents, including a “green cleaning” option in case you would prefer us to use a less fragrant smell. Our organic cleaning process includes surface disinfecting cleaners, ammonia-free glass cleaner, and non-bleach bathroom cleaner. 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 when you hire our move-in/move-out cleaning services before settling into your new home.
At Sweep Away, we are flexible enough to tailor our move-out and move-in cleaning services in any way necessary to make sure you’re 100% satisfied with the state of your home by the time we walk out the door.
