Move-in and move-out cleaning, with before-and-after photos

Move-In / Move-Out Cleaning, answered.

Straight answers before you book. Anything else, text us; an owner replies.

All questions
Will I get my full deposit back?

We can't decide that for your landlord. We clean the things property managers usually check, and we send before-and-after photos you can attach to your move-out notice. In Washington, landlords must document deductions, so a photo record of a clean unit is useful if anything is disputed.

Should I be there during a move-out clean?

Not necessary. Most clients have already moved. We just need access: a key, lockbox or the property manager letting us in. We send photos when we finish.

How long does a move-out take?

A studio or 1BR is about 6 work hours (two of us for 3 hours), a 2BR about 9 and a 3BR about 12 work hours. A studio often takes 5. We confirm the hours in writing once we know size and condition, and if the unit needs more time we text you before the time is up and keep going only after your yes.

3 more questions about move-in / move-out cleaning
Can you add carpet cleaning?

Yes. Hot water extraction is $59 per room (minimum two rooms) when added to a move-out clean, or you can book our move-out carpet package on its own: 1BR $220, 2BR $226, 3BR $276, or $20 less per unit in the same visit as the clean. Carpets are usually dry in 4–8 hours with the windows cracked.

Can you do a same-day or next-day move-out?

Often, if you text us at least 48 hours ahead. Same-day requests depend on what is already booked that day. Ask; the answer is quick.

Do you work with property managers and realtors?

Yes. Fixed prices by unit type, a photo report for every unit, one Certificate of Insurance on file and Net 15 invoicing for management companies. See our property managers page.

What’s included

An empty home is the easiest place to spot dust, and a property manager will look closely, so we do. Floors are scrubbed and mopped edge to edge, baseboards washed, walls spot-cleaned, closets wiped inside including the shelving. Every cabinet and drawer is cleaned inside: shelves, drawer tracks, hinges and underneath. Appliances are done properly: the oven is degreased with racks soaked and scrubbed, the fridge has all shelves removed and washed, the microwave, dishwasher filter and range hood are cleaned.

Bathrooms get the full treatment: tub and shower descaled, tile and grout steamed, toilet inside and around the base, vanity inside and out, mirror, fixtures, exhaust fan cover, floor. Interior windows including tracks and sills, light fixtures, bulbs and ceiling fans are all done. Floors are finished by surface type and carpets are vacuumed. Then we photograph everything and send you the set.

The included list at the top of this page is the full task list, so you can compare our quote with another one line by line.

Who books this

  • Renters who want the deposit back and a photo record to prove the unit was left clean.
  • Landlords and property managers who need turnover-ready units on a schedule, documented, invoiced monthly.
  • Home sellers getting an empty house ready for photos and showings.
  • New homeowners who would rather not move into someone else’s grime; we clean before the boxes arrive.

How it works

  2. We send the hours and the price in writing the same business day, Mon–Fri 9am–7pm, Sat 9am–5pm.
  3. On the day we need access only. We text when we start and when we finish, with before-and-after photos.

Fridge, oven and interior windows are included in every move-out clean; they are add-ons on other services. We price home cleaning by work hours: $120 an hour for the two of us, which is $60 per person-hour; see the hourly packages. The hours depend on size and condition. You pay for the hours we actually work: never more than the written price without your yes, never less than the minimum. If the unit is in much worse shape than described, we tell you before we start and you decide.

What property managers get

The same checklist for every unit, fixed prices by unit type, before-and-after photos with every invoice, one Certificate of Insurance on file and one invoice per month. We note in plain words whether a unit showed ordinary wear or something beyond it, which helps with deposit documentation. We do not promise outcomes we cannot control, such as what a landlord decides.

Limits we are upfront about

We do not patch walls, haul furniture or trash left behind, wash exterior windows above 8 feet, or take hoarding-condition or biohazard jobs. Old stains on carpet, worn grout and permanent discoloration are documented in the photos but may not come out.
