What a move-out clean covers (and what it doesn’t)
Moving out? Here’s what a professional move-out clean includes, and how to plan it around your move.
Empty, clean kitchen with open cabinets
A move-out clean is deeper than a regular house cleaning. With the furniture gone, everything is on display, and landlords and buyers look closely.
What’s usually included
- Inside cabinets, drawers and closets, wiped out completely.
- Kitchens: counters, sink, backsplash, outside of appliances, and inside if you choose.
- Bathrooms: toilets, tubs, showers, sinks, mirrors and cabinets.
- Baseboards, doors, switches and outlets, all the places people touch.
- Window sills and tracks.
- Floors vacuumed and mopped.
What’s usually extra
- Inside the fridge and oven, often an add-on.
- Carpet steam cleaning, usually a separate specialist.
- Wall repairs and painting.
- Leftover furniture and junk, which needs to be cleared before the clean.
Timing it right
Book the clean after the movers leave and before the final walk-through. Keep the water and power on until the cleaners finish.
Moving in instead?
The same clean works before you unpack. If the home has been lived in for a while, a deep clean covers the build-up in the kitchen and bathrooms too.
Tell us the bedrooms, bathrooms and your moving dates, and we’ll send a written estimate for a move-in or move-out clean.
