How Long Do Move-In/Move-Out Cleanings Take?

Total clean time can vary based on the number of rooms/areas serviced, the total number of tasks, and the requested timeframe. We can provide a personalized timeline once we schedule your job.

Do I Need to Be Present During the Cleaning?

Most cleanings are completed during normal business hours, M-F. Other times can be scheduled as needed. You are welcome to provide us with a key or leave it in a mutually agreed-upon spot for retrieval. Alarm systems can either be turned off, or you can give us the entry/exit codes. We strive to honor your privacy and security while leaving your residence bright and spotless.

Do I Need to Provide Cleaning Supplies?

For your first cleaning or a one-time service, we bring all the necessary cleaning products at no extra charge. For recurring services, clients are responsible for providing cleaning products. If you’d like us to continue supplying the products, we can do so for a small additional supply fee.

Do You Offer Same-Day Service?

Flexible same-day or next-day cleanings are an option, depending on availability. Our team works efficiently to make sure your property is guest-ready with zero hassle.

What Type of Cleaning Products Do You Use?

Bathroom cleaners should not be used on the bedroom furniture, and wood should not be cleaned the same way as ceramics! We work with a wide array of products to ensure the highest levels of precision and care.

Are They Safe for Children And Pets?

Yes. We work with pet- and kid-friendly products to protect your loved ones and ensure a clean home without drawbacks.

Do You Have a Cancellation or Rescheduling Policy?

Life happens, so rescheduling appointments is no big deal. We simply ask that you give us at least two business days’ notice if you need to change your time slot.

Definitely! We can tailor each visit to your property’s size, layout, and needs. Our experience with move-in/move-out cleanings ensures the end result leaves you feeling relieved and at peace.

Our Cleaning Process

Reclaim Your Security Deposit – We Meet Inspection Standards

Property managers have certain details in mind when evaluating what deductions they can make from your security deposit. We can target these traps in the following ways:

Checklist Compliance: We have rigorous protocols in place to meet the most critical requirements of property managers and lease stipulations.
Areas of High Scrutiny: We zoom in on neglected areas, like window interiors, moldings, fans, and closets.
A Comprehensive Approach: By scrubbing baseboards and moldings and making sure all floors and carpets are immaculate, we help reduce the risk of deductions from your deposit, putting more money in your pocket.

Reset Your Space – We Banish Residue and Buildup

When moving into a new space, no one wants to experience remnants of a previous owner or tenant. To give you the fresh start you deserve, we do the following:

Eradicate Deep Grime and Debris: We remove buildup from baseboards, door frames, banisters, flooring, windows, fans, and more.
Neutralize Offensive Odors: By sanitizing every inch of your house, condo, or apartment, including sinks, toilets, drains, and showers, we help eliminate unpleasant or lingering smells.
Focus on High-Touch Surfaces: To safeguard your health and reduce the risk of germs, we disinfect switches, handles, knobs, and fixtures, ensuring every surface is sanitized.

Experience a Stress-Free Move – We Coordinate With Movers and Schedule Around Closing Dates

Moving is a complex process, and there is often no room for error, especially when multiple parties are involved with the transition. To make your move-in/move-out process streamlined, we do the following:
