ServicesMove-Out Cleaning
Move-Out Cleaning in Commerce
After the last box leaves, we clean your empty home from ceiling fans to floor edges, including inside cabinets, closets and appliances, so the keys change hands without a scramble. Before we go, we photograph every room so you keep a clear record of how you left it.
A clean, documented handoff
Move-out cleaning is the job we do after the movers leave and before the buyer, new owner or landlord walks in. Empty rooms show everything: the outline of a dresser in the carpet dust, grease behind where the stove sat, scuffs the couch used to hide. We clean what is now in plain view.
Because a move often ends with a walkthrough, we take photos of every room once the cleaning is done. If we notice damage along the way, like a cracked tile, a water stain under the sink or a gouge in the drywall from a dolly, we point it out and photograph it too. We don't repair it, and we can't tell you what a landlord or an insurance company will decide. What you will have is dated photos and our notes, which make a deposit question or a claim much easier to talk through.
Heading to a new place as well? Our move-in cleaning service handles the other end of the move, so both homes get the same care.
What a move-out clean covers
Every cabinet and drawer, inside
Loose crumbs and dust get vacuumed first. Then we wipe each shelf, drawer floor and door face, lifting the sticky rings left by oil bottles and spice jars.
Appliances, inside and out
Oven interiors, stovetops, range hoods and microwaves all get cleaned. After the fridge is emptied and defrosted, we wash its shelves, bins and door gaskets, and we clean the dishwasher filter and edges.
Bathrooms, fixture by fixture
Hard water leaves chalky spots on faucets and shower glass across LA County, so we treat those along with tubs, toilets and the floor around their bases. Vanity drawers and mirrors are part of it too.
Floors and baseboards
Carpets are vacuumed, hard floors are mopped and baseboards are wiped room by room, including the stretches hidden behind beds and shelves for years.
Walls, doors and switch plates
We spot clean scuffs and fingerprints on doors, frames and light switches. Flat paint can mark under scrubbing, so we try a small patch first.
Condition photos and notes
We photograph each room at the end, plus any damage spotted during the clean. Copies are yours to keep.
Signs a move-out clean is the right call
- A walkthrough decides your deposit
- Leases often define what clean means at move-out. A careful clean backed by photos gives you something firm to show.
- You're selling or closing
- Buyers spot a greasy hood or dusty closet shelf fast. An empty home that's truly clean shows and photographs better.
- The move left marks
- Scraped floors and dented drywall happen on moving day. We clean around the damage and photograph it, so you can bring it up with the movers or your insurance company.
- The calendar is against you
- Packing and hauling eat up every spare hour. Passing the last clean to us frees you to unpack at the new place.
- A routine tidy won't reach it
- Inside empty cabinets, under the fridge and along closet floors take more than a weekly once-over. If you're still living there with furniture in place, our deep cleaning service may suit you better.
How move-out day works

A free quote over the phone
Share how many bedrooms and bathrooms the home has, the date you're moving and which appliances stay. If your lease includes a cleaning checklist, read it to us so we can plan the job around it.

Booked for after the movers
We schedule the clean once the rooms are empty. Please leave the water and power connected, because we rely on both.

Cleaning from high to low
Ceiling fans and high dust come first, then the kitchen and bathrooms, and floors last so nothing drops onto finished surfaces. We jot down any damage as we find it.

Photos and a walkthrough
Each finished room gets photographed, and we walk you through anything we noted. If something seems off afterward, let us know within a day and we'll review it with you and reach a fair resolution.
What moves the price of a move-out clean
Every empty home is different, so we quote each one by phone after hearing the details. The price comes down to how much time the job takes. Here is what affects that most.
- Size and layout
- More bedrooms, bathrooms and closets mean more surfaces. A two-story home also adds stairs and railings.
- Condition of the home
- A home cleaned regularly goes faster than one with years of oven grease or heavy soap scum in the shower.
- Appliances and extras
- Cleaning inside the oven and refrigerator, or inside windows and tracks, adds time. Tell us which ones you need.
- Timing and access
- Tight move-out deadlines, limited parking or a home without running water can change how we staff and schedule the job.
Move-out cleaning questions
- Can a move-out clean make sure I get my deposit back?
- Nobody can promise that, since the final call belongs to your landlord. We clean to the level most move-out checklists describe, and we hand you photos of every finished room. If a cleaning charge shows up later, you have a record to answer it with.
- Do I have to stay at the house during the clean?
- No. Plenty of customers unlock the door, drive over to the new place and return for the final walkthrough. We just need a way inside, plus water and power still connected.
- My movers dented a wall. Can you help me with a claim?
- Yes, in a limited way. We photograph the damage and write a short note on what we saw, which gives you something concrete to send the moving company or your insurance company. We are not adjusters and won't predict what gets paid, but you'll start the conversation with a dated record.
- Do you carry coverage while working in my home?
- Yes, our company is insured. Feel free to ask any questions about it during your quote call.
- What happens if I notice a spot you missed?
- Tell us within a day of the clean. We look at what you found, talk it through with you and settle on a fair fix, which can include a return visit to clean it properly.
