A comprehensive reset for empty homes. Designed to meet strict property management standards and help you achieve a pristine fresh start for your new residence.
Move-In / Move-Out Cleaning is a professional cleaning service that a comprehensive reset for empty homes. designed to meet strict property management standards and help you achieve a pristine fresh start for your new residence. This exhaustive cleaning for empty properties reaches inside every cabinet, drawer, and appliance—meeting strict property management standards for lease turnovers or new home preparation.
Our Move-In / Move-Out service is our most exhaustive cleaning package, engineered exclusively for empty properties. Whether you're handing the keys back to a landlord, preparing a newly purchased home for your family, or turning over a rental unit between tenants, this service leaves zero trace of the previous occupants. Unlike furnished home cleanings, this service reaches the areas usually blocked by furniture—we focus on "interior" detailing to ensure the property is truly turnkey ready.
Empty homes reveal what furnished homes hide. When furniture moves out, you see dust bunnies behind sofas, scuff marks on baseboards, grime inside cabinets, and residue in appliances. Our Move-In/Move-Out service addresses all of this—the complete interior of your home, from ceiling to floor, inside and out.
This isn't a quick surface clean. We clean inside every cabinet, every drawer, every closet. We detail appliance interiors—the oven, refrigerator, microwave, and dishwasher. We scrub bathrooms to remove hard water deposits and soap scum buildup. We eliminate the traces that time and daily living leave behind.
We know this cleaning often ties into important deadlines—lease end dates, closing timelines, or new tenant move-ins. That's why we're crystal clear about our process and timing from the beginning.
Before your cleaning, we'll discuss the property's size, condition, and any specific concerns. We'll give you an honest assessment of how long the job will take and what results you can expect. If the property needs more extensive work than a standard move-in/out clean, we'll tell you upfront rather than surprising you later.
Our comprehensive checklist (below) shows exactly what we include. You'll know what we clean, how we clean it, and what areas receive the most attention. There are no hidden tasks—what we promise is what we deliver.
If you're a renter fulfilling lease requirements, you need a cleaning that satisfies your landlord or property manager. Our service is designed to meet professional real estate standards for turnover cleanliness.
We understand what property managers look for during walkthroughs: clean appliance interiors, spotless bathroom fixtures, dust-free blinds, and floors free of marks and residue. We address each of these systematically, helping you leave your rental in condition that meets—or exceeds—lease requirements.
For landlords and property managers, we deliver units that are ready for listing photos and tenant showings. A professionally cleaned unit rents faster and attracts quality tenants who expect a high standard of maintenance.
Moving is one of life's most stressful experiences. The last thing you need is uncertainty about whether your cleaning will be done on time and done right.
When you book with us, you'll receive confirmation of your appointment and clear communication about arrival time. Our team shows up prepared with all necessary supplies and equipment—you don't need to provide anything.
During the cleaning, we're focused but available. If you need to ask a question or point out a specific concern, we're happy to address it. If you're not on-site, we'll secure the property and let you know when we're finished.
After completion, we recommend being present for a final walkthrough if possible. We want you to see the results before we leave and address any concerns on the spot. Your satisfaction with our work is our priority.
We understand that moving timelines shift. Closings get delayed, lease end dates change, furniture delivery gets rescheduled. We work with you to accommodate these changes whenever possible.
