Move-In & Move-Out Cleaning Services for a Cleaner Transition

Move-in and move-out cleaning takes the full-home clean off that list, whether you’re leaving a property behind or getting ready to settle into a new one.

How Move-In & Move-Out Cleaning Works
Leave the Cleaning to Us
Booking your move-in or move-out cleaning is one of the easier things on your moving list. Tell us about the home and your move, schedule your cleaning, and we’ll take it from there so you can focus on everything else that needs to happen before the keys change hands.
Tell Us About the Property
Share the size, condition, and details of the property, along with your move-in or move-out date. For larger or more detailed projects, we can schedule a complimentary walkthrough to better understand the scope.
We Complete the Detailed Cleaning
Our trained, background-checked team follows the agreed scope, focusing on the areas that need a more thorough reset—including kitchens, bathrooms, floors, cabinets, baseboards, and other included details.
Start Fresh
Whether you're moving in or handing the property over, we leave the space thoroughly cleaned and ready for its next chapter.
Why You Can Count On Us
Every Detail Accounted For
Move cleaning has a different job than routine house cleaning. The goal is to leave an empty or nearly empty home clean, presentable, and ready for whoever comes next. Arce’s Cleaning Service uses detailed checklists and trained, background-checked cleaners to help renters, homeowners, buyers, sellers, and property managers handle that final cleaning step with less stress.
A Cleaner Handoff
Moving leaves behind more than empty rooms. Dust, crumbs, fingerprints, cabinet residue, and everyday buildup can remain after the boxes are gone. Our move cleaning service gives those details the attention they need so the home is clean and ready for its next chapter.
Cleaning for Empty Homes
With furniture and belongings out of the way, our team can focus on the surfaces, floors, cabinets, kitchens, bathrooms, and other areas that need attention before the next resident arrives.
Detailed Room-by-Room Checklists
Our trained cleaning technicians follow detailed checklists to help make sure important areas are not overlooked during your move-in or move-out cleaning service.
Helpful for Every Kind of Move
Our move cleaning services are designed for renters, homeowners, buyers, sellers, and property managers who need a property cleaned before move-in, turnover, sale, or the next tenant.
Safer Products at No Extra Charge
Child-safe, pet-safe, eco-friendly, and non-toxic cleaning products are available at no additional charge when you want a safer approach for the home.

Frequently Asked Questions About Move-In & Move- Out Cleaning
Good to Know Before the Move
Trying to fit cleaning into an already busy move? Here are answers to common questions about when to schedule your service, what we clean, how to prepare the home, and what to expect before moving in or handing over the keys.
What is included in move-in and move-out cleaning services?
Move cleaning provides detailed cleaning throughout empty or nearly empty kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, living areas, and floors. Our checklist can include cabinet and drawer interiors, baseboards, doors, window sills, surfaces, fixtures, vacuuming, and mopping.
Should the home be empty before my move-out cleaning?
An empty or nearly empty home gives our cleaners better access to floors, cabinets, baseboards, and other areas normally covered by furniture and belongings. Whenever possible, schedule your move-out cleaning after your belongings have been removed.
When should I schedule a move-in cleaning?
Ideally, schedule your move-in cleaning after the previous occupants have moved out and before your furniture and boxes arrive. Cleaning the empty home first gives our team better access and lets you unpack into a freshly cleaned space.
Can move-out cleaning help me get my security deposit back?
A professional move-out cleaning can help reduce the chance of cleaning-related deductions by leaving the property cleaner for your landlord or property manager. However, deposit decisions are made by the property owner or manager, so cleaning cannot guarantee the return of your security deposit.
Do you clean inside cabinets and drawers during a move cleaning?
Yes. Cleaning inside accessible cabinets and drawers is part of the detailed attention that makes move-in and move-out cleaning different from routine upkeep. These areas should be emptied before we arrive so our team can clean them properly.
Do you clean inside the oven and refrigerator when I move?
Oven and refrigerator interiors are available as add-on services. If either appliance needs interior cleaning before you move in or hand over the property, let us know when requesting your service so it can be included in your cleaning.
How much does move-in or move-out cleaning cost?
Pricing depends on factors such as the size and condition of the property and any additional services you request. Arce’s Cleaning Service provides upfront pricing so you can understand the cost of your move cleaning before booking.
What if something is missed during my move cleaning?
Contact Arce’s Cleaning Service within 24 hours if an area we cleaned does not meet your expectations. We’ll arrange a convenient time to return and re-clean the area of concern at no additional charge as part of our 100% Quality Service Guarantee.
