Move-In Cleaning FAQs
Ideally, schedule it for after the previous tenant leaves but before your moving truck arrives. An empty home allows for the most thorough clean.
Move-in cleaning is similar in scope to deep cleaning, with a focus on sanitizing spaces touched by previous occupants.
We need access to clean, but we can coordinate with landlords or property managers if needed.
