Move-Out Cleaning for Renters: Protect Your Deposit
Landlords and property managers check the same places every time: inside the oven and refrigerator, inside cabinets and drawers, bathroom grout, baseboards, window tracks and floors along the walls. Our move-out checklist is built around those inspection points, so you hand back the keys with confidence. Many Twin Cities leases end at the same time of year, especially around the start of September - book early to get your preferred date.
Pre-Listing and Realtor Cleaning
A clean home photographs better, shows better and sells faster. We work with homeowners and real estate agents to get homes ready for listing photos, open houses and final walkthroughs, and we can schedule around tight closing timelines.
Move-In Cleaning: Start Fresh
Even a home that “looks clean” has someone else's dust inside the cabinets, fridge and bathroom. A move-in clean lets you unpack into a sanitized, truly clean space - kitchen drawers, closets and shelves included - before your boxes arrive.
Our Move-In / Move-Out Checklist
- Inside all kitchen cabinets and drawers, wiped out
- Inside oven, refrigerator and microwave
- Countertops, backsplash, sink and fixtures
- Bathrooms fully scrubbed: tub, shower, grout, toilet, vanity inside and out
- Baseboards, doors, door frames and switch plates
- Closet shelves and rods
- Window sills and tracks
- Floors vacuumed and mopped, including edges and corners
Rental Turnover for Property Managers and Hosts
For landlords, property managers and short-term rental hosts, we provide make-ready and turnover cleaning between tenants or guests, with consistent results so your unit is rent-ready quickly.
Why Hire a Professional Move-Out Cleaner
On moving day, you're coordinating trucks, utilities, keys and paperwork - and cleaning an empty house takes much longer than people expect. A professional move-out clean saves you hours, avoids last-minute cleaning fees from your landlord, and gives buyers or new tenants a great first impression. Our team works fast because we follow the same inspection-focused checklist every time.
How to Prepare
Remove all furniture, boxes and personal items, and take out the trash before we arrive. Make sure water and electricity are still on, so we can clean appliances and floors properly. Leave keys or access instructions, and let us know about any areas your landlord or buyer has flagged.
Add Carpet Cleaning
Many leases require professional carpet cleaning at move-out. Add carpet steam cleaning to your move-out appointment and get both done at once.
Move-Out Cleaning for Home Sellers
Before closing, buyers do a final walkthrough - and a clean, empty home makes that moment easy. We clean after the movers leave so every cabinet, closet, appliance and floor is ready to hand over. Your realtor can coordinate access directly with us.
Scheduling Around Your Move
The ideal time for a move-out clean is after the last box is gone and before you return the keys. Tell us your move date and deadline, and we'll schedule the clean to fit - including tight same-day timelines when our calendar allows.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Move-In / Move-Out Cleaning Services
Do I need to be present during the cleaning?
No, you do not need to be there. In fact, most of our clients prefer to leave the keys in a lockbox, provide a garage code, or arrange for property management to let us in. We just ask that you are reachable by phone or text in case our team has any questions during the service.
Should the home be completely empty before you arrive?
Yes, ideally the property should be completely empty of all furniture, personal belongings, and trash before our team begins. This allows our professionals to efficiently deep-clean every corner, inside cabinets, and floors without obstructions, ensuring the highest quality results.
Do you clean inside appliances and cabinets?
Absolutely! Unlike a standard cleaning, our Move-In/Move-Out service automatically includes deep-cleaning the interiors of the oven, refrigerator, microwave, and all kitchen and bathroom cabinets, drawers, and shelves.
Do utilities (electricity and water) need to be turned on?
Yes, please ensure that both electricity and running water are fully turned on and active on the day of the service. Our team requires proper lighting, heating/cooling, and water access to operate our equipment and perform a thorough, safe deep-cleaning.
Can you guarantee I will get my security deposit back?
While we cannot control your landlord’s final decision or pre-existing property damage, we follow a rigorous, property-manager-approved inspection checklist. If your landlord or inspector finds any cleaning-related issues within 24 hours of our service, we will come back to reclean those specific areas at no extra cost to you.
