What a move-out clean includes.

A 219 Cleaning Co. move-out clean is empty-home detail to landlord standard. With the furniture gone, every room is worked top to bottom, dry before wet, edges first, and checked against a written checklist before the keys go back.

The same visit works in reverse for a move-in. The home is detailed before your boxes arrive, so the first thing you unpack into is clean.

Every empty room

  • Worked top to bottom with nothing in the way
  • Edges and corners before open floor
  • Floors finished last

Kitchens and bathrooms

  • Kitchen detailed to landlord standard
  • Bathrooms detailed to landlord standard
  • Dry work done before wet work

Before the keys change hands

  • Checked against the written checklist
  • Supplies and equipment brought by the crew
  • Scheduled around your keys

Scheduled around your keys

A move already has too many dates in it. Tell 219 Cleaning Co. when the last box leaves and when the keys change hands, and the clean fits between the two.

Access works the way it does on any job: a code, a key or a garage pin, a text when the crew arrives and another when it is done, with photos if you want them. That matters when you are already unpacking in the next house.

  • After the last box

    An empty home lets every room be worked top to bottom with nothing in the way.

  • Before the handover

    Put your key date or closing date on the quote request so the visit lands ahead of it.

  • Someone else has the keys

    If a landlord or realtor handles access, note who on the request so the crew knows how to get in.

Move-out clean or deep clean.

Both are thorough. The difference is the state of the house. A move-out clean works an empty home to landlord standard, while a deep clean resets a home you are still living in.

Who books a move-in or move-out clean.

Anyone on either side of a lease or a closing can book it, and the quote is the same flat, written kind either way.

  • Renters handing back keys who want the deposit conversation to be a short one.

  • Landlords and property managers turning a unit over between leases.

  • Buyers, sellers and realtors getting a home ready around a closing date.

What you can add to a move-out clean

Some empty homes need more than others. These jobs are priced per item and appear on the written quote only when you add them, so a small apartment is not priced like a house with a garage.

The same standard, in empty rooms

An empty home shows everything, so the order matters. The crew works every room with the same four rules as any 219 Cleaning Co. visit, and the 48-hour re-clean applies here too.

  1. Top to bottom

    High surfaces first, floors last, so nothing falls on a finished surface.

  2. Dry before wet

    Dusting and vacuuming come before wiping and mopping.

  3. Edges first

    Corners and edges are worked before open surfaces.

  4. Checked against the written checklist

    Every room is checked against the written checklist before we leave.

The 48-hour re-clean.

Anything not right, tell us within 48 hours and we return. Free.

Questions about move-in and move-out cleaning

Will a 219 Cleaning Co. move-out clean get my deposit back?

A 219 Cleaning Co. move-out clean details the empty home to landlord standard. Whether a deposit comes back is your landlord’s decision, and it can depend on repairs or damage no cleaning can fix. What the crew controls is the cleaning, checked against a written checklist, with anything not right re-cleaned free within 48 hours.

When should I schedule a move-out clean?

Schedule a 219 Cleaning Co. move-out clean for after the last box leaves and before the keys go back. An empty home lets the crew work every room top to bottom without moving around furniture. Put your move date, key handover or closing date in the notes on your quote request, and the visit is scheduled around your keys.

Do I have to be at the property for a move-out clean?

You do not have to be at the property for a 219 Cleaning Co. move-out clean. A code, a key or a garage pin gets the crew in, and you get a text when the crew arrives and another when it is finished, with photos if you want them. If a landlord or realtor is handling access, note that on your quote request.

Is a move-in clean different from a move-out clean?

A 219 Cleaning Co. move-in clean and move-out clean are the same empty-home detail; the difference is which side of the keys you are on. A move-out clean gets a home ready to hand back to a landlord or a buyer. A move-in clean means you start in a home cleaned to a written checklist, before your furniture and boxes arrive.
