What the Move-Out Fee Includes That a Deep Clean Doesn’t
A deep clean is written for a furnished, lived-in home. A move-out clean is written for an empty one, so the interiors a landlord, buyer or property manager opens first are part of the flat fee. Booked as add-ons on a deep clean, the oven and refrigerator alone would be $100.

| Task | Move-in / move-out clean | Deep clean |
|---|---|---|
| Inside the oven | Included | $50 add-on |
| Inside the refrigerator | Included | $50 add-on |
| Inside cabinets and drawers | Included | $8 per cabinet add-on |
| Blinds and shutters wet-wiped | Included | $8 per blind add-on |
| Closets and pantry shelves | Included | Not included |
| Baseboards, doors, door frames, sills, switches and knobs | Included | Included |

Phoenix and Scottsdale Cost the Same
The table does not change by ZIP code. A 1,400-square-foot condo near the Biltmore and a 1,400-square-foot condo in Old Town Scottsdale are both $450, and every row of the table is public before you call. Furnished homes are a different job: if the furniture is still in place, the move checklist can’t reach the cabinets, closets and appliance interiors it is written for.
When to Schedule It: Arizona Deposit Timing
Under Arizona’s Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (A.R.S. § 33-1321), a landlord has 14 business days after the tenancy ends, possession is delivered and the tenant demands the deposit to return it or send an itemized list of deductions. Cleaning beyond normal wear and tear is a common deduction. Book the clean after the movers leave and before the walkthrough, keep the water, power and air conditioning on, and take dated photos of each room when the clean is done. We take before-and-after photos of every job as well. A clean does not guarantee a deposit outcome; your lease and the landlord’s inspection decide that.
Extras Worth Pricing Before Move-Out Day
- Garage sweep and organization: $50.
- Patio or balcony sweep: $25.
- Interior windows: $8 per window.
- Not cleaning tasks: carpet shampooing, exterior windows, junk removal, paint touch-ups and repairs are separate trades. Check your lease for anything it names, such as a carpet-cleaning receipt.
