Whether you’re a renter moving out or a landlord with new tenants on the way, move-in cleaning and  move-out cleaning is extremely important.

When a place gets rented it’s crucial that the new residents move into a spotless space. As a renter, it’s important to thoroughly clean after you move-out to get your security deposit back.

What’s the difference between a move-in, move-out, and regular general cleaning?

Frequently Asked Questions about Move-In Cleanings and  Move-Out Cleanings:

Q: Am I required to be home for the cleaning?
A: No, it’s perfectly acceptable to give the cleaning team access without you being present. We’ll even lock up for you when we’re done.

Q: How long will the cleaning take?
A: Move-in and move-out cleaning requires more detail than a typical cleaning. As a result, it requires an additional 1-2 hours to complete a move-in cleaning or a move-out cleaning when compared to a standard cleaning.
