Move-Out & Move-In Cleaning in Los Angeles County
Move-out cleaning is a complete, empty-home deep clean designed for security-deposit inspections and landlord walk-throughs. It covers everything a standard clean skips — inside cabinets and drawers, inside the oven and fridge, baseboards, tracks, and all interior windows — and typically takes 4 to 8 hours depending on home size.
What's included
- Inside all kitchen cabinets, drawers, and pantry
- Inside the oven, microwave, refrigerator, and dishwasher
- Baseboards, door frames, light switches, outlets
- All interior windows, tracks, sills, and blinds
- Full bathroom scrub including grout and shower buildup
- Vacuum and mop every floor; spot-clean walls
- Wipe closet shelves and rods
When to book it
- Moving out and want your security deposit back
- Moving in and want the home cleaned before you unpack
- Selling a home and prepping for photos or showings
- Landlord or property manager between tenants
How it works
- Step 1Send home details
Square footage, bedrooms, bathrooms, and target date. Move-out cleans are booked 3–7 days out.
- Step 2We quote the visit
Flat rate based on home size and condition — no surprise fees at the end.
- Step 3Empty-home clean
For best results, book after the home is fully empty. A 3-person team on larger homes.
- Step 4Walk-through report
Photos of every room so you have documentation for the landlord or new occupant.
Pricing
Move-out cleans are quoted per home and typically cost 2 to 3 times a standard clean because they take 2 to 3 times as long. Empty homes are faster than occupied ones; homes with pet hair or heavy buildup take longer.
Time estimate
4–8 hours for most homes; a full day for larger properties.

Frequently asked questions
Will your move-out clean get my full security deposit back?+
In our experience, a proper move-out clean recovers the cleaning portion of the deposit in the vast majority of cases. We document every room with photos so you have a record if the landlord disputes it.
Is a move-out clean the same as a deep clean?+
It's a deep clean plus inside cabinets, inside every appliance, and the full baseboard scrub — done in an empty home.
Do I need to be there?+
No. Most move-out cleans happen after keys are handed off. We coordinate access with the landlord or property manager.
Do you clean carpets or handle carpet shampooing?+
Standard move-out cleaning includes vacuuming. Carpet shampooing is a separate service — ask and we'll refer a trusted carpet specialist.
