The full checklist

What a move-in and move-out cleaning actually covers

Turnover cleaning is inspection-level cleaning. An empty home hides nothing — it gets judged by someone walking room to room with a checklist, whether that is a property manager holding a deposit, a buyer at final walk-through, or you standing in your new place before the boxes arrive. We scope move-in and move-out cleans for that level of scrutiny.

Kitchen

Scoped for an empty or mostly empty kitchen:

  • Cabinet and drawer faces hand-wiped, top to toe kick
  • Countertops and backsplash scrubbed
  • Sink and fixtures descaled and polished
  • Stovetop and hood exterior degreased
  • Appliance exteriors polished — fridge, oven, dishwasher
  • Microwave cleaned inside and out
  • Floors vacuumed and mopped, edges included

Bathrooms

The room inspections judge hardest:

  • Toilets detailed — base, hinges, and behind
  • Tubs and showers scrubbed, grout lines included
  • Showerheads and faucets descaled
  • Sinks, counters, and vanity faces cleaned
  • Mirrors polished streak-free
  • Exhaust vent cover dusted
  • Floors scrubbed, corners and behind-the-door included

Bedrooms, living areas, and closets

Empty rooms show everything — so everything gets touched:

  • Closet shelving and rods wiped
  • Window sills and tracks cleared of grit
  • Blinds dusted
  • Door frames, doors, and handles wiped
  • Baseboards dusted and spot-washed throughout
  • Cobweb check, ceiling to floor
  • Wall spot-check for marks and scuffs
  • Floors vacuumed and mopped, edges and corners included

The five spots that decide deposits

Ask any property manager — these are the line items that cost people money:

  • Oven interior and racks — the most-cited cleaning deduction
  • Refrigerator interior, drawers, and door seals
  • Bathroom grout, tub rings, and the toilet base
  • Cabinet and drawer interiors
  • Window tracks and blinds

By-request add-ons

The interiors most turnovers add — quoted up front:

  • Interior oven
  • Interior refrigerator
  • Inside cabinets, drawers, and pantry shelves
  • Interior windows
  • Garage sweep-out

The move-in version

Same standard, opposite direction — before your boxes arrive:

  • Every surface the previous household touched, wiped
  • Cabinets and drawers cleaned before your dishes go in
  • Bathrooms reset to your standard, not theirs
  • Builder dust detail for new construction
  • Floors finished last, so you move into clean

Timing

Timed around your move

Turnovers run on deadlines — here is where the clean fits into yours.

After the boxes leave

A vacant home is the ideal state for a move-out clean, and the difference shows in the result. With nothing on the counters, nothing in the closets, and no furniture against the walls, every baseboard, cabinet interior, and floor edge is reachable in a single pass. Book the clean for the day after the truck leaves — moving crews kick up dust and scuff floors on their way out, so cleaning before they finish means paying to clean twice.

Before the final walk-through

The safest schedule is a one-to-two-day gap: boxes out, clean, then the inspection. That buffer means the home sits untouched between our visit and the walk-through, so what the property manager sees is exactly what we left. When you approve it, we photo-document the finished rooms — time-stamped proof of the condition you handed back, which matters if a deduction ever gets disputed.

Between tenants

For landlords and property managers, the turnover clean is what stands between the old lease and the new listing photos. Send us your own inspection checklist and we scope the visit directly to it, line by line, so nothing on your form goes unaddressed. If you turn units regularly, we can repeat the same scope on every turnover — same standard, no re-explaining, one text to schedule.

Before listing photos

Listing photos are permanent, and buyers zoom in on kitchens and bathrooms first. A pre-listing clean the day before the photographer puts appliance fronts, fixtures, mirrors, and windows at their best — polished surfaces read as light in photos, and light sells. It carries through to showings too: a home that smells clean and shows clean edges makes a stronger first walk-in than fresh paint does.

Before you move in

The move-in reset belongs in the gap between getting the keys and the truck arriving — the only window when every closet shelf, cabinet interior, and floor edge in the home is empty and reachable at once. Once furniture lands, that access is gone for years. We wipe what the previous household touched, so your dishes go into cabinets you know are clean and the first bath in the home is up to your standard, not theirs.

Tight closings

Back-to-back closings and same-week lease deadlines are normal along the Front Range, and cleaning is usually the step with the least slack in the chain. Tell us the hard dates — closing, lease end, walk-through — and give us a flexible arrival window, and we build the visit around what cannot move. If a closing slips a day, tell us as soon as you know and we adjust with you rather than making you start over.

Scoping

What shapes the quote

No flat menu pricing — these are the factors a person weighs when reviewing your request.

  • Home size, levels, and number of bathrooms
  • Vacant or still furnished — vacant cleans are scoped differently
  • Time since the last thorough clean
  • Appliance and cabinet interiors requested
  • A landlord or PM checklist, if you have one — share it
  • Timeline flexibility around closing and lease dates
  • Access — keys, codes, lockboxes, or an agent meeting us

Common questions

Quick answers

The questions customers ask most before booking this service.

Will this get my deposit back?

No one can honestly guarantee a deposit decision — deductions can involve damage, not just dirt. What we can do is clean the spots inspectors actually check, work to your landlord's own checklist when you share it, and document the results with photos when you approve them. Cleaning is the most controllable line on that deduction sheet.

Does the home need to be empty?

Empty is ideal and gets the best results — every surface is reachable. Mostly empty works too; just tell us what remains so the scope is honest. A fully furnished home is usually better served by a deep clean instead.

Are the oven and fridge interiors included?

They are the most-requested add-ons on this service — and the two most-cited deposit deductions. Select them on the quote form and they are priced into the visit up front.

Is a move-in clean worth it if the sellers already cleaned?

Sellers clean to hand-over standard; you are about to put your toothbrush and dishes where theirs were. A move-in reset wipes what the previous household touched — and it is dramatically easier before your belongings arrive.
