Move-In Cleaning for New Homeowners

You have the keys. Now let us make your new place feel truly yours. A move-in clean clears out dust, odors, and the little things previous owners or builders leave behind so you start fresh from day one.

Why a move-in clean matters

When to schedule your clean

For the best result, book the clean before the movers arrive. If you are renovating first, schedule after the final trade leaves to catch the last round of dust.

How pricing works

Pricing is based on size, number of bathrooms, and overall condition. Share the address, preferred date, and any add-ons. We will send a clear quote with an arrival window that fits your plan.

How to prepare

• Leave power and water on until cleaning is complete
• Empty cabinets and closets wherever possible
• Defrost freezers the day before if needed
• Set aside any items you do not want touched
• Tell us about any trouble spots so we can plan extra time
