What Move Out Cleaning Includes
Move out cleaning is a thorough, top to bottom clean of an empty home in San Diego, timed around a move. We clean your new or previous home completely so your moving experience is as smooth and worry-free as possible.
What We Clean in Every San Diego Move Out
Every move out cleaning covers the whole home. These are the details we hand wipe and reach into while the house is empty.
| Part of the clean | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Whole home | Every room, top to bottom, cleaned while the home is empty |
| Hand-wiped details | Cupboard interiors, windowsills and the backs of closets |
| Move in timing | Before your belongings are unloaded or unpacked |
| Move out timing | After the last item leaves the home |
| Supplies | Technicians arrive fully equipped with safe, eco-friendly products |
Our move out cleaning is designed with deposit refunds in mind. We thoroughly clean the home you are leaving so it is turned over in excellent condition for the next residents.
Should Move Out Cleaning Happen Before or After the Movers?
For a move in, clean before your belongings are unloaded. For a move out, clean once the home is empty. Both ways the house is empty when we arrive, which is the only way to reach every surface properly.
Cleaning for a move in
For a move-in, we always recommend cleaning before your personal items are unloaded or unpacked, so every part of the home gets the attention it deserves. Cupboard interiors, windowsills, the backs of closets: all of it is reachable once, and that once is before the boxes arrive.
Cleaning for a move out
For a move-out, we clean after the last item leaves. Book one to two weeks ahead to secure your slot, especially around busy moving dates.
