Leave the place ready for the next person, and make the final walkthrough easy.

Before you start

Clean after your belongings are out, so you can reach every corner. Gather a vacuum, mop, microfiber cloths, all-purpose cleaner, glass cleaner and a bathroom cleaner.

  • Clean inside and outside the oven, stovetop and microwave
  • Wipe cabinets inside and out, and the countertops
  • Clean the sink and faucet

Bathrooms

  • Scrub the toilet, tub or shower, and sink
  • Clean the mirror and fixtures
  • Wipe cabinets and drawers
  • Mop the floor

Bedrooms and living areas

  • Wipe closet shelves and inside closets
  • Dust vents, baseboards, window sills and ceiling fans
  • Wipe light switches and door handles
  • Vacuum carpets and mop hard floors

Short on time?

Moves are busy. Our move in/out cleaning follows a written checklist, so you can spend your last day on the move itself. Book online or call 412-534-5992.

Frequently asked questions

Should I clean before or after movers come?

After. Cleaning once the home is empty lets you reach every surface and floor.

Do I need to clean the inside of appliances?

Usually yes. Landlords and buyers commonly expect the oven, refrigerator and microwave to be clean, so check your lease or sale agreement.
