Move-In/Move-Out Cleaning: What to Expect

Move-in and move-out cleans are designed to reset the space so it feels welcome for the next chapter. We recommend scheduling after furniture has been removed and utilities are on, so we can focus on detailed work rather than navigating around items or waiting on elevator access. Typical attention areas include kitchens and bathrooms, inside reachable cabinets and drawers when they are empty, appliance exteriors and interiors where accessible, and a thorough dusting and floor clean throughout. Spot-cleaning walls and doors can help with visible marks, although full repainting or restoration falls outside normal scope.

Because of the detail involved, these sessions take longer than a standard maintenance clean, and the time needed depends on size, condition, and the number of built-in storage areas. Sharing the handover checklist from your landlord or community can help us align on priorities that matter for inspection. If you’re moving into a previously occupied home, calling out areas of concern—like limescale in bathrooms or grease in ovens—lets us allocate the right effort from the start. Our goal is to deliver a clean, neutral canvas that helps you hand over confidently or settle in comfortably.
