What this checklist covers

A move-out clean is a different job from a regular clean: the home is empty, so everything that was hidden is visible, and a landlord or property manager will compare it with how it was at move-in. Cleaning the insides of appliances and cabinets and the places furniture stood is what separates a move-out clean from a regular one.

Take photos of every room when you finish. They protect the cleaner, the tenant and the landlord if anyone disagrees later.

FAQ

What is included in a move-out clean?

Everything in a regular clean plus the insides of the fridge, oven, microwave, cabinets, drawers and closets, baseboards, blinds, and the floors where furniture stood.

Who pays for move-out cleaning?

It depends on the lease. Tenants often clean to get the deposit back; landlords and property managers often hire a cleaner between tenants.

How do I price a move-out clean?

By home size and condition, since an empty home takes longer to clean fully. Our house cleaning cost calculator helps.

Should I take photos after a move-out clean?

Yes, of every room. They settle questions about the deposit later.
