Mundelein & Lake County, Illinois

Move-in and move-out cleaning

An empty house is a different job. Nothing is hidden by furniture, so everything shows — and the inside of every cabinet, drawer and closet is suddenly part of the work. This is the clean that gets a deposit back or hands a buyer a house that smells like nothing at all.

How a move-out clean works

From empty rooms to handing over the keys

  1. 1

    Boxes out

    Tell us the date and whether the home will be empty. An empty home is faster and costs less.

  2. 2

    Inside everything

    Every cabinet, drawer and closet, plus the oven, fridge, microwave, dishwasher, washer and dryer.

  3. 3

    Every surface

    Baseboards, doors on both sides, sills and tracks, light fixtures, vents and switch plates.

  4. 4

    Floors last

    Every floor vacuumed and mopped on the way out, so nothing gets tracked back in.

  5. 5

    Ready for the keys

    A final walkthrough with you or your agent, if you want one.

Move-out cleans start at $395, with oven, fridge and cabinets included.

Good to know

Questions about move-in & move-out cleaning

Will this get my security deposit back?

We clean to the standard most leases ask for, including inside appliances and cabinets. We can't speak for your landlord, but we can hand you a home that gives them nothing to point at.

Should the house be empty first?

Ideally yes. We can work around boxes, but anything still in a cabinet is something we can't clean inside of.

Do you clean carpets?

We vacuum thoroughly, including edges. Steam and shampoo extraction is a different trade and we'd rather refer you than do it badly.

How fast can you come?

Move dates don't move. Tell us the date when you ask for the quote and we'll tell you honestly whether we can hold it.
