What is Included in Our Move-In Cleaning Checklist?

Because the home is empty, our team has unobstructed access to execute a flawless, top-to-bottom Deep Cleaning. We target areas that are typically hidden by furniture and daily life:

Intensive Kitchen Sanitization

Deep scrubbing the inside and outside of the refrigerator, oven, and microwave. We also vacuum and hand-wipe the insides of all empty cabinets and drawers.

Complete Bathroom Disinfection

Removing built-up hard water stains, scrubbing tile and grout, and fully sanitizing tubs, showers, and toilets.

Detailed Dusting

High-to-low dusting of ceiling fans, light fixtures, window sills, blinds, and baseboards to ensure maximum allergen removal.

Thorough Floor Care

Detailed sweeping, heavy mopping of all hard surfaces, and intensive vacuuming to refresh carpets and remove trapped pet dander.

Closets & Shelving

Wiping down all empty closet shelves, pantries, and storage areas so your clothes and food go onto clean surfaces.

(Note: Is your new home a brand-new build or recently remodeled? You will want to book our specific Post-Construction Cleaning to safely remove abrasive drywall dust!)

Frequently Asked Questions About Move-In Cleaning

Should I schedule the cleaning before or after the movers arrive?

Always schedule your move-in cleaning before the movers arrive and your boxes are unloaded. We need the house to be completely empty to properly clean inside cabinets, appliances, and across all floors.

Do you clean the insides of the appliances?

Yes! A standard move-in cleaning includes thoroughly cleaning and sanitizing the inside and outside of the refrigerator, oven, and microwave so they are ready for your groceries.

Do I need to be present at the new house while you clean?

No, you do not. Most of our clients are busy managing the logistics of their move. Simply provide us with a lockbox code, garage code, or hidden key, and we will secure the property when we are finished.

Do you bring your own cleaning supplies and equipment?

Absolutely. Our cleaning crew arrives fully equipped with professional-grade, eco-friendly cleaning products, HEPA-filter vacuums, and all necessary tools to execute a flawless clean.

How long does a pre-move cleaning typically take?

Because this is an intensive, detail-oriented service, a move-in clean for an average 3-bedroom home usually takes between 4 to 6 hours. However, time varies based on the home’s size and condition.

Does this service include carpet cleaning or steam cleaning?

We provide meticulous, heavy-duty vacuuming of all carpets and rugs. However, we do not offer hot-water extraction (steam cleaning) for carpets.

What is the difference between move-in and deep cleaning?

While both are incredibly detailed, a move-in clean is specifically tailored for an empty home. It focuses heavily on the insides of empty cabinets, closets, and appliances—areas we cannot easily access during a standard deep clean of an occupied home.

What happens if I am not satisfied with the results?

We stand behind our professional cleaning services with a 24-hour satisfaction guarantee. If any area does not meet your expectations, contact us within 24 hours, and we will return to re-clean it for free.
