Move-in and move-out cleaning
Move-out and move-in cleaning must fit around keys, movers, and the true condition of the property. An empty space is easier to access, but cabinet interiors, appliances, closets, and leftover marks take time. The key handoff date should always leave room for a final check.

Frequently asked questions
Does cleaning guarantee a deposit refund?
No. Deposits depend on the lease, property condition, and landlord decision. Cleaning addresses dirt, not damage or repairs.
Can cleaning happen while movers are working?
It can, but it is less efficient and creates more risk. Ideally, rooms are emptied before the provider starts.
Is waste removal included?
Waste hauling is not included by default. Describe anything that must be removed so a suitable provider can confirm whether it is possible.
