What is move-in cleaning?

Move-in cleaning is a detailed cleaning of an empty or nearly empty home before the new occupants move in. Because rooms are empty, it can include areas that are hard to reach in a furnished home — inside cabinets, drawers and closets, full baseboards and floors — so the property is ready for occupancy.

The easiest time to clean a home thoroughly is before anything is in it. A move-in clean lets you put dishes into clean cabinets, clothes into clean closets and furniture onto clean floors.

Move-in cleaning is useful whether the previous occupants cleaned or not, and whether you are buying, renting or preparing a unit for a new tenant.

FAQ

Move-In Cleaning FAQs

Does the home need to be empty for move-in cleaning?

Empty or nearly empty is best, because it allows access to cabinets, closets and full floor areas. If some items are already in the home, let us know when you request a quote.

Is move-in cleaning different from move-out cleaning?

The tasks are similar. Move-in cleaning prepares a home for the people arriving; move-out cleaning prepares it for handover when you leave. Some customers book both.

Do you need utilities turned on?

Running water and electricity make it possible to clean properly. Please confirm utilities will be on for the scheduled date.
