Move-Out Cleaning vs. Deep Cleaning

Deep cleaning is typically performed in occupied homes to address buildup and detailed areas before beginning recurring service.
If your home is furnished and hasn’t been professionally cleaned recently, we may recommend deep cleaning instead.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does pricing work for move-out cleanings?
Move-out cleanings are priced by the job, not by hourly time. Pricing is based on the size and condition of the home and the total labor required to deliver an inspection-ready result. Because move-outs are more detailed and labor-intensive than standard or recurring cleanings, pricing is higher than a typical deep clean.
Why are move-out cleanings more expensive than regular cleanings?
Move-out cleanings require significantly more detail, including inside cabinets, heavy kitchen and bathroom buildup, baseboards, edges, and final finishing throughout the home. These services involve more labor than maintenance cleanings, which is reflected in the price.
Is pricing based on how many cleaners or how long the clean takes?
No. Pricing is based on the total labor required, not the number of cleaners or the length of the visit. Adding cleaners shortens the time onsite but does not reduce the amount of work involved, so pricing remains the same regardless of crew size.
What information do you need to provide an accurate quote?
To provide an accurate move-out quote, we typically ask for the approximate square footage, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, whether the home is vacant, the overall condition of the home, and whether optional add-on services are needed.
Are oven and refrigerator cleaning included in move-out cleanings?
No. Oven and refrigerator cleaning are not included by default in move-out cleanings and can be added for an additional fee. Because cleaning inside appliances requires additional labor and time, these services must be selected during booking to ensure accurate pricing and proper scheduling.
Is garage cleaning included in a move-out cleaning?
Garage cleaning is not included by default in move-out cleanings and can be added as an optional service. Because garages vary significantly in size and condition, this service must be selected during booking to ensure accurate pricing and proper scheduling.
What if the home is in worse condition than expected?
Quotes are based on the condition of the home as described at the time of booking. If the condition onsite is materially different—such as heavier buildup, pet hair, long-term neglect, or undisclosed add-on needs—our team will notify you before proceeding with any additional work or cost. No adjustments are made without approval.
Do you offer in-person estimates for move-out cleanings?
Most move-out cleanings can be accurately quoted using the information provided during booking. For very large homes, luxury properties, or homes with uncertain condition, we may request photos or recommend a walkthrough to ensure accurate pricing.
How long does a move-out cleaning take?
The duration of a move-out cleaning depends on the size and condition of the home and the number of cleaners assigned. Because pricing is based on total labor rather than time onsite, our focus is on delivering a thorough, inspection-ready clean rather than rushing to meet a specific timeframe.
Do I need to be present during the move-out cleaning?
No. As long as the home is accessible, you do not need to be present. Many clients prefer to return after completion to review the results.
What should be done before the move-out cleaning?
For best results, the home should be empty of personal belongings, furniture, and trash. Utilities such as water and electricity should be on, and any special concerns or add-on requests should be communicated in advance.
Is your move-out cleaning suitable for inspections or listings?
Yes. Our move-out cleanings are designed to leave the home move-in and inspection ready, making them ideal for lease turnovers, property sales, and listings.
