Move-in and move-out cleaning in the Philadelphia area

Moving is enough work. We clean the empty home, from inside the cabinets to the last baseboard, so you can hand over the keys or settle into a fresh start.

Move-in and move-out cleaning is a detailed cleaning of an empty home, including inside cabinets and drawers, bathrooms, baseboards and floors, done between one resident leaving and the next moving in.

Who it's for

A good fit for

  • Homeowners and renters leaving a home
  • Families who want a clean house before unpacking
  • Empty homes between residents

Moving checklist

Making your move-out or move-in clean go smoothly

  • Book early

    Call as soon as you know your moving dates, especially at the end of the month.

  • Clean after the movers

    Empty rooms let us reach inside cabinets, along baseboards and every corner.

  • Plan access

    Tell us how we'll get in and whether utilities will still be on.

  • Add carpets if needed

    Pair it with carpet cleaning in rooms with wall-to-wall carpet.

Moving out

Leave the home clean for the next residents or the owner. We focus on what's left behind once the furniture is gone: inside cabinets, bathrooms, baseboards and floors.

Moving in

Start fresh before you unpack. Cleaning an empty home first means your dishes, clothes and furniture go into clean spaces.
