Common Move-Out Priorities
Soap scum removal in bathrooms
Kitchen grease cleanup near range and backsplash
Baseboards and door wipe-downs
Floor cleaning throughout the home
Fingerprint and smudge removal

Move-Out Cleaning vs. Deep Cleaning
Move-Out Cleaning
Best for vacant homes and lease or sale transitions. It emphasizes presentation and inspection-readiness.
Deep Cleaning
Performed in occupied homes to address buildup and neglected detail areas while working around furniture and belongings.
If you’re moving, move-out service is typically the right fit. If you’re staying and want a full reset, deep cleaning may be the better option.
How Long Does Move-Out Cleaning Take?
Cleaning time varies based on size and condition. Smaller homes in good condition may take a few hours, while larger homes with multiple bathrooms and add-on services may require more time.
For best results:
Schedule cleaning after movers have finished
Keep utilities on for lighting and water access
Share any landlord checklist items in advance
