Move-In / Move-Out Cleaning in Greater Boston, MA

What move-out cleaning in Boston includes

Move-out cleaning in Boston is a full, top-to-bottom clean of an empty or nearly empty home. Because there's no furniture blocking access, we clean inside every cabinet, drawer, and closet, inside the oven, microwave, refrigerator, and dishwasher, all baseboards and trim, bathrooms from grout to fixtures, interior windows, light fixtures, vents, and every floor from vacuuming through mopping.

This is more thorough than a standard house cleaning and covers ground similar to a deep clean, but it's specifically structured around vacant properties — landlords doing turnovers, tenants trying to secure a deposit, sellers prepping for a walkthrough, or buyers who want a spotless start in their new place.

How long a move-in/move-out clean takes

Most move-out or move-in cleans take 3 to 6 hours, depending on square footage and condition. A studio apartment in Salem will move faster than a large single-family home in Peabody with years of tenant turnover. Homes that have sat vacant for a while, or that need every cabinet and appliance interior cleaned, take longer than a well-maintained property.

Who needs this service

This service is built for renters who want their security deposit back, landlords turning over a unit between tenants, home sellers preparing for showings or closing, and new homeowners across Boston and the North Shore who want to move into a completely clean space rather than clean up after the previous occupants themselves.

How to prepare and what to expect on cleaning day

The home should be empty, or as close to empty as possible, before our team arrives — moving boxes and furniture out first lets us reach every surface. Confirm access ahead of time, whether that's a lockbox, key handoff, or coordinating with a landlord or agent. On the day, our team works through the space systematically, starting with kitchens and bathrooms since those areas take the most time, then moving to closets, trim, and floors. Because move timelines are often tight, we can typically schedule within 48 hours, and we recommend booking your move-out clean for the same day as your final walkthrough or the following morning so the space stays clean when it's inspected.
