Move Day Deep Clean

One team. One schedule.

Cleaning and moving at the same time so that your space is ready for an inspection without having to deal with different vendors.

01

Empty or Furnished

Before the keys change hands, deep clean empty homes or freshen up furnished ones.

02

Room-by-Room Detail

Kitchens, bathrooms, baseboards, vents, trim, and floors are all set up for walkthroughs.

03

Coordinator Managed

Access, keys, and building paperwork were taken care of by your Move & Care team.

Why Bundle Cleaning with Your Move

Moving is a mess for renters, buyers, and property managers all at once. When cleaning is treated as a separate vendor, walkthroughs are put off, elevators are booked twice, and deposits are left hanging. Include professional move-out cleaning in your Move & Care plan so that our coordinators can take care of access, timing, and quality control with your movers.

You get a single point of contact and a cleaning crew that shows up right after the truck leaves or before you bring your things inside, whether you're giving back keys, staging a listing, or getting ready for a client's move-in. That means you won't have to deal with multiple quotes, checklists, or worrying about whether the fridge was cleaned.

Coordinated Timeline

One Vendor, One Plan

We coordinate move-out cleaning with your load-out and key drop so that landlords, leasing agents, and buyers can enter a clean home.

Prepared Crews

Supplies & PPE Included

Our teams bring EPA-rated solutions, microfiber systems, ladders, and HEPA vacuums, so you don't have to leave anything behind.

Deposit Safety

Inspection-Ready Finish

We use move-out checklists that Boston, Austin, and Charlotte landlords like, so you can give us the keys with confidence.

Bundle & Save Time

One Invoice

Put packing, moving, storage, and cleaning all in one place to make budgeting and scheduling easier.

Quality Checks & Limitations

We take pictures of each room before we finish and write down any damage that was already there. If you ask, we can give your landlord or agent a summary. Our teams are covered by insurance, have their backgrounds checked, and are overseen by Move & Care leads.

01

Photo & Checklist Proof

Get annotated checklists with photos of the property before and after the move-out inspections to prove compliance.

02

Insured & Vetted Teams

We check the backgrounds of all our cleaners, insure them, and train them on how to clean empty homes.

If you miss a detail within two days, let us know and we'll come back to fix it for free on bundled move + clean bookings.

Limitations
  • Jobs that involve cleaning up mold, biohazards, or hoarding
  • Cleaning windows on the outside above the first floor
  • Complete removal of debris after construction
  • Getting rid of lead paint or dangerous chemicals

Do you need one of these? We will set up timelines and connect you with trusted partners.

Process

How It Works

Set up your cleaning at the same time as your moving. From key exchange to the final walkthrough, our coordinators make sure everything stays on track so you only have to approve the plan once.

Step 1

Book with Your Move

When you get a quote or call us directly, make sure to mention cleaning before or after you move. We check the square footage, types of flooring, and extras to give you an accurate estimate.

Step 2

Plan the Schedule

Your coordinator makes sure that cleaning fits in with the truck load-out, key handoff, or closing schedule. Before we unload or after the space is empty, we can clean.

Step 3

Walkthrough & Touch-Up

We can walk you through the property in person or over the phone. With a bundled move and clean booking, you have 48 hours to touch up anything that needs it.

Cleaning Alarm Clock

Need last-minute changes?

During busy turnover weeks, call your Move & Care coordinator and we'll change the crew's arrival time, give you access instructions, or send more cleaners.

Pricing

Pricing & Quotes

Moving cleaning costs the same as our moving labor: hourly crews with a three-hour minimum, and the cost of supplies is included. Most apartments take 3 to 5 hours of work, while bigger homes take 6 to 8 hours. Cleaning the insides of appliances, steam cleaning carpets, or washing walls adds labor to each item.

3 Cleaner Minimum
3-5 Hours for Apartments
6-8 Hours for Homes

Hourly Crew

Good for things you don't know about or that need some cleaning. As you go, add or take away hours.

Flat Make-Ready

Want a set price? Send pictures or set up a time to walk through the space for a quote based on square footage.

  • 1-2 bedroom apartment (empty): 3 cleaners x 3 hours
  • 3 bedroom home: 3 cleaners x 5 hours
  • Add-ons: +1 hour per appliance or steam treatment

Move-In & Move-Out Cleaning FAQs

Standard service includes cleaning the floors, baseboards, and inside cabinets or closets in the kitchen, bathroom, and all other living areas. We clean every room by dusting from top to bottom, disinfecting high-touch surfaces, and vacuuming or mopping. You can add things like appliances or windows inside to the same visit.

For an empty apartment, expect 3 to 5 hours of work. For a bigger home, expect 6 to 8 hours of work. We will add more time for the crew and schedule drying if you add appliance interiors, wall washing, or carpet steam.

Yes. We sell commercial vacuums, microfiber systems, eco-friendly cleaners, and tools that are made for specific jobs. Let us know when you book if your building needs certain brands or green certifications.

We suggest cleaning the space after the truck is loaded and the space is empty for move-out services. To get your new place clean before you move in, call us before the day you move in or have us come first thing the next morning. If the moving crew's schedule overlaps with ours, we can also work with them.

The price depends on how many hours of work and extras are needed. Typically, apartments need at least three hours, while bigger homes may need two sessions. If you need flat pricing based on square footage or a program that lets you turn over your property on a regular basis, ask for a custom quote.

Of course. You can also get add-ons for cleaning the insides of appliances and cabinets. Please tell us if the appliances will be unplugged and defrosted so we can plan ahead.

We can't promise what the landlord will do, but we can promise that our cleaning will be good. If your landlord writes something down within 48 hours, we will come back to fix it at no extra cost for bundled move and clean bookings.

Yes. To keep the moving and cleaning teams on the same page, we share schedules, notes, access instructions, and building paperwork with each other. You only have to approve the plan once because your coordinator is in charge of both crews.
