Move-Out vs.
Deep Cleaning.

Both go further than a regular clean. The difference is whether the home is empty and whether someone is going to inspect it.

A deep clean resets a home you are living in. A move-out clean prepares an empty home for the next person. The checklists overlap, but the goal and the scope are different.

Deep cleaning

A deep clean is done in a furnished, lived-in home. It covers the detail work a regular clean skips: baseboards, grout, inside the oven and fridge, vents and detail dusting. It works around your furniture and belongings. Deep cleans start at $199.

Move-out and move-in cleaning

A move-out or move-in clean is done in an empty home. Because nothing is in the way, it goes further: inside every cabinet, drawer and closet, all appliances, every baseboard and the floor under where furniture stood. It is built to pass a landlord's or buyer's walk-through. Move-in and move-out cleans start at $320.

Side by side

  • Home: deep clean is furnished; move-out is empty.
  • Cabinets and closets: deep clean does fronts and accessible areas; move-out does the inside of every one.
  • Appliances: both include inside the oven and fridge; move-out adds the dishwasher and microwave interiors.
  • Goal: deep clean resets your home; move-out passes an inspection.
  • Price: deep cleans from $199; move-in and move-out from $320.

Which one do you need? If you are staying, book a deep clean. If you are leaving, arriving, or handing a unit to a new tenant or buyer, book a move-out or move-in clean.
