Move In / Move Out Cleaning

Specialized cleaning designed for transitions. Moving is a complicated, stressful process — our move-in and move-out cleaning services relieve the cleaning burden so tenants, landlords, and new homeowners can focus on logistics and settlement. Kings Cleaning Services provides detailed, inspection-ready cleaning that aligns with lease obligations, real estate showings, and landlord expectations.

Why move-in / move-out cleaning matters

Moving involves packing, hauling, and a flurry of activity that leaves dust, scuff marks, and accumulated grime behind. Landlords and property managers expect properties to be returned in a clean condition; failure to do so can jeopardize security deposit returns. Move-in cleaning ensures the new residents start in a sanitary, welcoming home. For sellers preparing for a showing or buyers taking possession, a professional move clean supports better first impressions and rapid occupancy.

Typical move-in / move-out cleaning checklist

Standard services typically include:

Whole property:

  • Thorough dusting of all surfaces, reachable vents, and ceiling fans
  • Wiping and disinfecting door handles, light switches, baseboards, and trim
  • Vacuuming and mopping all floors; spot cleaning carpets

Kitchen:

  • Cleaning interior refrigerator and freezer (optional add-on)
  • Cleaning inside oven and stovetop
  • Wiping countertops, sinks, faucet fixtures, and storage areas
  • Cleaning cabinet exteriors and accessible interiors

Bathrooms:

  • Cleaning and disinfecting showers, tubs, toilets, sinks, and vanities
  • Scrubbing tile and grout; removing soap scum and mineral buildup

Extras:

  • Interior window cleaning (accessible)
  • Removal of trash and minor debris from property
  • Specialty surface treatment (e.g., granite polish) with client approval

How move-in / move-out cleaning differs from regular or deep cleaning

  • Focus on inspection criteria: We prioritize the checklist items commonly required by lease agreements and home inspections.
  • Time-sensitive: Move cleanings are often scheduled around key dates with firm deadlines.
  • Comprehensive rooms and appliances: We commonly clean interiors of appliances, cabinets, and window tracks to meet move standards.
  • Final walkthrough readiness: The goal is to present the property ready for new occupants or final landlord checks.

How we handle high-touch areas and sanitation

High-touch surfaces — door knobs, cabinet pulls, light switches, and faucets — are disinfected thoroughly to reduce transmission risks. For move-in clients with special health concerns, we can prioritize higher-level sanitization practices.

Move-out cleaning for landlords and property managers

We work with landlords and property managers to provide checklist-compliant cleanings designed to protect deposit returns. We can align our services with your lease agreement, perform itemized work, and provide before/after photos when requested.

Move-in cleaning for new homeowners and renters

A move-in clean creates a sanitary baseline for new residents. Our teams ensure kitchen and bathroom fixtures are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized and that floors and surfaces are free of residual dirt from prior occupants.

Timing, access, and logistics

  • Coordinate early: Book move cleans as early as possible to guarantee preferred time slots.
  • Strict timelines: We understand move day constraints and prioritize timely, efficient service.
  • Access options: Provide key handoff details, lockbox codes, or realtor contact info when booking.
  • Multi-unit buildings: Confirm parking, elevator, and loading restrictions in advance.

Pricing and estimate process

Move cleaning pricing is influenced by:


  • Property size (bedrooms/bathrooms/square footage)
  • Condition and cleanliness level
  • Add-on services (appliance interiors, carpet cleaning)


We provide transparent, itemized estimates and can scope work via photos or in-person walkthroughs for accuracy.

Preparing for the move cleaning

  • Remove personal items and large furniture if possible to allow easy access.
  • Secure pets and inform the team of any areas to avoid.
  • Communicate any landlord-specific checklist items (e.g., window blinds cleaned) during booking.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Will you provide before/after photos?

    Yes — upon request, we can provide photos documenting completed work to support landlord inspections or listing needs.

  • Do you move furniture?

    We move small furniture when safe and permitted, but heavy or mounted items require prior coordination and may incur additional charges.

  • Can you clean carpets or upholstery?

    Yes, we offer carpet cleaning as a separate service or add-on. Please schedule carpet services in advance due to equipment needs.

  • Do you handle large debris or renovation waste?

    For heavy debris from renovations or large appliance removal, we recommend coordination with removal services. We can handle light debris and general trash removal.

  • What happens if the property needs additional work after my initial request?

    If additional tasks are identified during the cleaning, we’ll communicate the requirements and provide approval-based estimates before proceeding.
