Move-out and move-in cleaning in the Santa Clarita Valley
Empty-home cleans built for deposit returns, unit turns, and listing photos. Cabinets, drawers, and appliances inside and out, with photos sent when the job is done.
Who it is for
One clean, three people it helps
A move-out clean is the same detailed work whether you are getting a deposit back, turning a unit, or listing a home. Here is what it does for each.
Tenants
Hand back a unit that is clean to the standard a landlord inspects for, so cleaning is not the reason any of your deposit gets held. Photos document the condition you left it in.
Landlords and property managers
Turn a vacant unit fast and to the same standard every time, ready for the next tenant or the walkthrough. Volume pricing for recurring turnover accounts.
Realtors and sellers
A clean, empty home shows better in photos and at showings. Listing prep and closing cleans scheduled around your dates.
Deposit return
Take cleaning off the list of reasons to hold your deposit
Cleaning is one of the most common line items a landlord deducts from a deposit. It is also the one you can control.
We clean the unit to the standard a landlord or property manager inspects for, including inside cabinets, drawers, and appliances, then send photos of the finished condition. The deposit decision is the landlord's, but the cleaning is handled and documented, so it is not the thing that costs you.

Questions
Move-out questions
How much does a move-out clean cost?
Move-out and move-in cleans are from $300 and priced by home size, shown in the table above. An empty home is priced like a deep clean because cabinets, drawers, and appliances are cleaned inside and out.
Will a move-out clean get my deposit back?
A move-out clean removes cleaning as a reason for a landlord to withhold deposit. We clean the unit to the standard a landlord or property manager inspects for, including inside cabinets, drawers, and appliances. The deposit decision is up to the landlord, but the cleaning part is handled and documented with photos.
Do you clean empty homes for landlords and realtors?
Yes. Vacant units for landlords and property managers between tenants, and listing and closing cleans for realtors so a home shows well in photos and at showings. Photos are sent on completion.
Does the home need to be empty?
A move-out clean is built for an empty home, which is why cabinets, drawers, and appliance interiors are included. If furniture is still in place, tell us and we will scope it accordingly.
