Overview

You're about to live here. So we go deeper.

Move-In Cleaning is the more intensive of our two moving services, and that's deliberate. You'll be living with the result — cooking in this kitchen, bathing in these bathrooms, walking these floors — so the team gives the empty home a thorough reset rather than a quick once-over. That means more time on accumulated buildup, edges, corners, fixtures, trim, and baseboards; on kitchen and bathroom surfaces; on floors; and on the finishing detail throughout. Because the home is empty, we can reach the areas furniture usually hides, which is what makes the result comparable to a deep-clean style reset.

Leaving a property instead?

Move-Out Cleaning has a different objective: a clean, professional handoff.

Who it's for

For the people who'll live with the result.

Move-In Cleaning is booked by anyone about to make an empty property their home.

Home buyers

The closing is behind you and the keys are in hand. Reset the home before it becomes yours in every sense.

New tenants

Start your lease in a home cleaned to your standard, not the last occupant's.

Families moving in

The kitchen, bathrooms, and floors your kids and pets will use on day one, thoroughly cleaned first.

Before the movers arrive

Book the window between getting the keys and the moving truck, while every surface is still reachable.

Why before the furniture arrives

An empty home is the best time to clean it.

Once the sofa, the beds, and the boxes are in, whole stretches of floor, wall, and cabinet disappear for years. Cleaning first isn't just more convenient. It's the only time the entire home is reachable at once.

  • Every floor, baseboard, and corner is accessible, with nothing to move or work around.
  • Cabinets, drawers, and closets can be cleaned inside while they're still empty.
  • You unpack straight into a clean home instead of cleaning around your belongings.
  • Ideal timing: after you have the keys, before the moving truck arrives.
What's included

A thorough reset, room by room.

Where appropriate and safely accessible, Move-In Cleaning typically addresses:

  • Accumulated dust and buildup throughout
  • Detailed edges and corners
  • Baseboards, trim, and door frames
  • Fixtures, handles, and switch plates
  • Kitchen counters, sink, and cabinet fronts
  • Empty cabinets and drawers, inside and out
  • Appliance exteriors; interiors where included in your estimate
  • Bathrooms scrubbed top-to-bottom
  • Tubs, showers, and toilets descaled and sanitized
  • Floors vacuumed and mopped edge to edge
  • Window interiors and sills
  • Closets vacuumed and wiped
  • Detailed finishing throughout the home

Every home is different, so the exact work depends on its size, layout, and condition. Appliance interiors and other add-ons are confirmed in your estimate. Where an area can't be safely reached or a mark can't be removed by cleaning, we'll tell you honestly.

How your estimate works

Flat-rate, in writing, before we start.

Your Move-In estimate reflects the reset the home actually needs:

Home size

Bedrooms, bathrooms, and square footage set the baseline. More surfaces mean more time to detail.

Condition and buildup

A well-kept home resets faster than one with years of accumulated buildup or a long vacancy.

Appliance interiors and add-ons

Inside the oven and fridge, interior windows, and other extras are added to your estimate only if you want them.

Your timeline

Tell us your closing or lease date. We schedule around key handoffs and moving trucks, evenings and weekends included.

Your estimate reflects the time and detail a thorough reset takes: the home's size, its condition, and the add-ons you choose. You'll see it in writing before anything is scheduled.
