Who It's For
Who This Service Is For
Renters facing a final walk-through. Sellers who agreed to leave the property clean at closing. Buyers who would rather not unpack into someone else's dust. Landlords and property managers turning a unit between tenants. Either way it is the same job: an empty home, cleaned where furniture normally hides the dirt.
How It Works
How a Move Clean Runs
We start with a walk-through, then work top down and from the back of the home toward the front door, so nothing clean gets walked over twice.
High surfaces come first: light fixtures, vents, fan blades, door frames and switch plates. Cabinets, drawers, closets and the pantry are next, opened and cleared of crumbs and lint, then wiped inside and out, including the tops of upper cabinets and the shelf edges nobody sees when dishes are in the way.
Kitchens take the longest. Appliance cleaning means inside and out: refrigerator shelves and drawers, the oven, the microwave, the dishwasher door and gasket, and the walls and floor where the range and fridge normally sit.
Bathrooms follow: shower or tub, tile, glass, toilet, vanity, mirrors and cabinet interiors. Baseboards, trim and window sills are done by hand. Garages are part of a full turnover, so say at quote time whether yours is in scope. Floors are vacuumed and mopped last, finishing at the front door.
Before We Arrive
How to Get the Home Ready
Have the home as empty as you can make it. Nobody can clean a floor under a stack of boxes, and a refrigerator with food in it is a different job than an empty one.
Two things get forgotten mid-move. Leave the power and water on until the cleaning is done, because vacuums, hot water and lighting all matter in an empty house. And if your landlord gave you a written condition checklist, send it over first so we can work from it.
You do not have to be there, so tell us how the cleaners will get in when you book. All products and equipment come with us, which matters when your own vacuum is already packed on a truck.
Your Quote
What Goes Into the Cost
We do not publish a flat rate, because two empty homes of the same size can be handed over in very different condition. A quote is built from what changes the hours:
- Square footage, and how many rooms are genuinely in scope
- The number of bathrooms, the slowest rooms in any home to clean
- The condition the property is being left in, which moves the hours more than anything else here
- Whether the appliances are staying and need cleaning inside
- Extras such as interior windows, a finished basement or a storage building
- Whether it is a one-time turnover or a repeating arrangement, as it often is for landlords
Quotes are free and carry no obligation. The more accurately you describe the condition, the closer the quote lands to the final number.
FAQ
Move-In & Move-Out Cleaning Questions
Looking for cleaning services in North Idaho? Contact us now!
208 595 7773Does the home need to be empty?
As empty as you can make it. Cabinets, closets and appliances are the heart of this service and cannot be cleaned inside while things are still in them. If a few items have to stay, tell us where when you book.
Do you clean inside the refrigerator, oven and cabinets?
Yes. Inside cabinets and drawers and appliance cleaning are both part of this service. Please empty the refrigerator and let it defrost beforehand.
Will this get my security deposit back?
The landlord or property manager makes that call, and no cleaning company controls it. What we can do is work the areas a walk-through concentrates on: inside the appliances and cabinets, the bathrooms, the baseboards and the floors.
How is this different from your other cleaning?
A deep clean works around your belongings in a home you still live in. A move clean assumes the space is empty, which is why it goes inside cabinets, appliances and closets. Short-term rental cleaning is a repeating guest turnover, and post-construction cleaning deals with drywall dust instead.
When should I schedule it?
Book it for after the movers are out and before the keys change hands. Cleaning is scheduled Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., so if your handover lands on a weekend, plan for the weekday before.
