Frequently Asked Questions about Moving Cleans
Does the house or apartment need to be completely empty? Yes. For us to perform a true move-in/move-out clean, the property must be completely empty of all furniture and personal belongings. This allows us to access and clean every inch of the space, including the inside of all cabinets, closets, and appliances.
How is this different from a deep clean? A move-in/move-out clean is a deep clean, but it’s performed on an empty property. This enables us to be even more thorough and clean areas that are inaccessible during a standard deep clean when furniture is present.
Can you guarantee I will get my security deposit back? While we can’t legally guarantee the return of your deposit—as it can depend on factors other than cleanliness—we can say that our service is specifically designed to pass the cleaning portion of a landlord’s final inspection. We have a long track record of helping clients secure their full deposits.
How far in advance should I book my cleaning? We highly recommend booking your move-out clean as soon as you have your official move-out date. End-of-month dates and the busy summer moving season (especially late August) fill up quickly.
