Remember

Your cleaning estimate is built around the level of cleaning you choose when booking. If the actual condition of the home requires more work than expected, we may need extra time to get everything to the standard you’re looking for. Because additional labor and supplies affect both time and cost, we truly appreciate your honesty when selecting your cleaning level. It helps us plan well and give your home the attention it deserves.

Don’t forget to review the extras section and let us know if you require any services there.

Frequently Asked Questions About Move In & Move Out Cleaning

Have more questions? Give us a call! (720) 676-6400

How much does move-in/move-out cleaning cost?2026-07-31T08:33:14-06:00

Typically $300 to $600 for Denver-area homes, depending on square footage, number of bathrooms, and condition. Homes that housed pets or sat through a long tenancy take more time. We quote a fixed price from a short conversation about the property, so you can hand the number to a landlord or factor it into closing costs without worrying about hourly creep.

What’s included in a move-out cleaning?2026-07-31T08:33:14-06:00

The empty home, top to bottom: inside all cabinets, drawers, and closets, inside the oven and refrigerator, all appliance exteriors, every bathroom scrubbed including grout and fixture descaling, all floors vacuumed and hand-mopped, baseboards, door frames, switch plates, window sills and tracks, light fixtures, and vent covers. It’s the most thorough service we offer, because there’s no furniture in the way and nothing gets skipped.

How far in advance should I book a move-out cleaning?2026-07-31T08:33:13-06:00

One to two weeks is comfortable. End of month, and especially late July through August around the CU Boulder and Denver rental turnover, fills up fast — book earlier for those windows. If you’re in a same-week bind, call us anyway; we can sometimes work a move-out into an existing route, and we’d rather tell you honestly whether we can than leave you guessing.

Should the home be empty before you clean?2026-07-31T08:33:13-06:00

Ideally yes — an empty home lets us clean inside cabinets and closets, behind where furniture stood, and along every baseboard without working around boxes. If a few items remain, that’s fine; just tell us in advance so we plan the time. If the home is still fully furnished, a deep cleaning is the more honest fit and we’ll say so.

Will a move-out cleaning help me get my deposit back?2026-07-31T08:33:13-06:00

It’s usually the difference. Most deposit deductions we see come from exactly what this service covers: greasy ovens, dirty refrigerators, soap scum and hard water in showers, dusty baseboards and blinds, and cabinet interiors nobody wiped. A professional clean with a receipt also gives you documentation if a landlord disputes the condition. We can’t promise a landlord’s decision, but we can remove the reasons they usually give.

Do you clean inside the oven and refrigerator?2026-07-31T08:33:12-06:00

Yes, both are included on move-in and move-out cleanings. They’re the two appliances landlords and buyers check first, and they’re where most deposit disputes start. If a refrigerator has been unplugged and sitting, mention it when you book — that’s a different job than a routine wipe-out and we’ll plan the time for it.

Do you clean inside cabinets, drawers, and closets?2026-07-31T08:33:12-06:00

Yes, on move-in and move-out cleanings that’s standard, not an add-on — it’s one of the main things separating this service from a deep clean. Every cabinet interior, drawer, and closet shelf gets wiped. On a regular deep cleaning, cabinet interiors are only done on request, since most occupied homes have them full.

Move-in or move-out — which do I need?2026-07-31T08:33:11-06:00

A move-out clean is for the home you’re leaving, and it’s about the deposit or the sale. A move-in clean is for the home you’re entering, sanitizing bathrooms, kitchen, and floors before your furniture arrives — worth doing even if the place looks clean, since you have no idea how the last occupants lived. Plenty of clients book both, on either end of the same move.

Do you do carpet cleaning too, or just floors?2026-07-31T08:33:11-06:00

We vacuum carpets thoroughly and hand-mop hard floors, but we don’t do hot-water carpet extraction — that needs specialist equipment. If your lease requires professional carpet cleaning, book a carpet company alongside us and schedule them first so we can clean the hard surfaces afterward. We’re happy to coordinate timing with them.

How long does a move-out cleaning take?2026-07-31T08:33:10-06:00

Four to eight hours for most homes, usually with a team of two or three so it finishes in a single day. An empty two-bedroom condo can be done in three to four hours; a larger home with several bathrooms, a finished basement, and a neglected oven takes a full day. We’ll give you a realistic window when we quote, because move days run on tight schedules.

Can you bill my landlord, property manager, or realtor?2026-07-31T08:33:10-06:00

Yes. We work regularly with Denver-area property managers, landlords, and agents, and we can invoice them directly rather than putting you in the middle. Realtors often cover a pre-listing or post-closing clean as part of the transaction — just give us the billing contact when you book.

Do you clean garages, basements, or patios?2026-07-31T08:33:09-06:00

Finished basements are included as living space. Garages, unfinished basements, and patios are add-ons — usually a sweep-out, cobweb removal, and wipe-down rather than a full detail. Tell us when you book if your lease or sale requires them, and we’ll price them in so nobody’s surprised on the day.
