Move-In & Move-Out Cleaning
A thorough, top-to-bottom clean timed around your move-in or move-out date.
What is move-in & move-out cleaning?
Move-in and move-out cleaning is a top-to-bottom clean of an empty home, including the insides of cabinets, closets and appliances that a regular visit can't reach while a household is living there. Renters book it to hand back a unit in the condition they received it, buyers book it before they unpack, and landlords and property managers book it between tenants.

Move-In & Move-Out Cleaning questions
Does a move-out clean help me get my deposit back in California?
Under California Civil Code section 1950.5, a landlord may deduct only what it costs to return the unit to the level of cleanliness it had when you moved in. A thorough move-out clean plus your own photos is the best way to avoid a cleaning deduction.
Should the home be empty for a move-out clean?
Yes. An empty home lets every cabinet, closet and floor be cleaned. Schedule the visit after the movers leave.
How much does move-out cleaning cost in Sacramento?
It depends mostly on the home's size and condition. Our Sacramento move-out cleaning cost guide collects published market ranges, and we send your own price once you tell us about the home.
