Moving is already expensive and stressful, and move-out cleaning is one more line item to plan for — whether you’re closing out a lease, prepping a home for its new owners, or getting a rental ready to list. Here’s what it typically costs and what to expect.
At Cleaner N More, empty-home move-out cleaning starts from $450, and move-in cleaning (getting a home ready before you unpack) starts from $325. Your exact price depends on:
Because every move is different — a studio apartment and a five-bedroom house aren’t priced the same — the most accurate way to get a number is a free quote rather than a flat rate off a price list.
A thorough move-out or move-in cleaning generally covers:
Common add-ons and their typical cost: inside the fridge (~$45), inside the oven (~$35), interior windows (~$95). These are usually quoted separately from the base move-out or move-in price since not every home needs them.
A standard recurring cleaning is built around maintaining a home that’s already clean. Move-out cleaning is different — it’s meant to bring a home (often one that hasn’t been deep cleaned in a while) up to move-in-ready condition for whoever’s next, or to help secure a security deposit back. Trying to combine the two usually means one of them gets shortchanged.
A few things worth knowing about how we handle it:
Mostly, yes — the same deep-clean checklist applies whether a home is being emptied out or prepared for new occupants. The main difference is timing: move-out cleans typically happen after the home is fully emptied, while move-in cleans happen before you unpack, so the crew has full access to every surface either way.
Since square footage, condition, and depth of clean all affect the price, the fastest way to get an accurate number for your specific home — not a generic estimate — is to request a free quote with your move date, home size, and any particular areas of concern (appliances, basement, garage, etc.).
With Cleaner N More, empty-home move-out cleaning starts from $450 and move-in cleaning starts from $325. The final price depends on home size, condition, and any add-ons like inside the fridge or oven.
As soon as you have a move date, ideally at least a week out — move-out cleanings are often booked around closing dates and lease-end dates, which are fixed, so earlier booking gives more flexibility on timing.
Yes, a full move-out clean typically includes the inside of the refrigerator and oven, along with cabinets and drawers.
We clean both — an empty home generally goes faster since there’s nothing to work around, but we also handle move-in cleans before you’ve unpacked, or move-out cleans while items are still present.
Generally yes, since it’s a deeper one-time clean covering areas (inside cabinets, appliances, closets) that aren’t part of a standard recurring visit.
No — most move-out cleanings happen via arranged access (lockbox, code, or the property’s existing access method), especially useful around closing dates when schedules are tight.
