Move-in & move-out

Move-In and Move-Out Cleaning Services

Apartment move-out cleaning and rental property cleaning across Washington, DC, Maryland and Northern Virginia, timed to your lease or closing date.

Scheduled around your lease or closing date

Empty homes clean best. Tell us your walkthrough or closing date and we schedule the visit once the movers are out. Move-in cleaning works the same way, just before your furniture arrives.

Built around what inspections look at

Landlords and property managers check the same places every time: inside cabinets and drawers, the oven, the refrigerator, bathroom grout, baseboards and floors. That's exactly where we spend the extra time.
