Frequently Asked Questions About Move-Out Cleanings

Inside windows

What is the Difference Between a Deep Clean and a Move-Out Clean?
While there may be some overlap, move-out and deep cleanings serve different purposes. Move-out cleanings spruce up your place for the next tenant focusing on areas that are hard to clean with furniture present, meaning it focuses on areas that are tricky to clean such as under a couch. Classic deep cleanings concentrate on elements requiring attention after every 6 to 12 months.
Move-out cleanings include tasks like cleaning baseboards, blinds, and inside window panes. Deep cleanings focus on baseboards, blinds, doors, AC vents, light switches, and power outlets. We recommend move-in/move-out cleanings for empty homes and deep cleaning for bi-annual spring cleanings.
How to clean your house at the end of a lease period
Upon leaving a house, the buyer or landlord usually expects it to be cleaned properly, including:
Sweeping, mopping, and dusting
Brightening up the baseboards, cleaning up the blinds, cleaning the window panes, cabinets, and inside the refrigerator
Steam carpet cleaning (usually undertaken by a different company)
Can a Landlord Charge You for Cleaning After You Move Out?
Yes, landlords are legally allowed to charge for move-out cleanings. However, most prefer residents to handle it, either by hiring professionals or cleaning themselves. Professional cleaners have the training and experience that may help reduce the chance of additional fees. Anyway, speak with your landlord if there is a special instruction to prevent extra charges.
Do You Have to Clean the Oven When You Move Out?
Most landlords require cleaning appliance such as ovens, fridges, and microwaves. Most of the ovens are manufactured with self-cleaning in this modern age, so always check if your oven contains this self-cleaning feature. Note: Never run self-clean if you have chemicals inside the oven as that may damage it.
Do I have to be home for the cleaning?
No, you don't need to be home. You can provide access via a key under the mat, a lock box, or a door/garage code. We will handle the cleaning while you focus on other moving tasks and lock up when we're done.
How Long Does a Move-Out Cleaning Take?
A detailed move-out cleaning is more labor-intensive than regular maintenance cleanings. The approximate time for a one-bedroom/one-bathroom apartment would be 2-3 hours, while a three-bedroom home can typically take 3-5 hours. We use flat-rate pricing to guarantee the job gets done right.
