Phoenix Move-Out Cleaning, Room by Room
Our published cleaning checklist has three levels: standard, deep and move-in/move-out. Each level includes everything in the level before it, and the move-out level adds the cabinet and appliance interiors that matter once the home is empty. Here is what that means in each room of a Phoenix move-out. The kitchen alone has 24 tasks on the move-out column of our checklist, bathrooms have 17, and bedrooms and common areas have 15.

What a Phoenix Move-Out Clean Doesn't Include
A move-out clean is a cleaning service. Some work sits outside it, and some is an extra you can add before the visit.
Extras You Can Add to Your Quote
Interior windows, wall spot cleaning, a garage sweep and a patio or balcony sweep are optional extras. Tell us which ones you need, and we'll agree on the work and the price before we start.
Work Outside Our Cleaning Service
- Repairs and restoration, including stone etching, grout repair and sealing
- Disposal of items left behind
- Moving heavy furniture or appliances
- Climbing beyond a two-step ladder
- Exterior work that needs specialty equipment
- Bodily fluids, pet waste, active infestations and hazardous materials
Tell us about stains, damage and special finishes before your cleaning.
Timing Your Phoenix Move-Out Clean Around the Lease, Deposit or Closing
The clean goes after your belongings are out and before the next occupant arrives. Book once your move-out date is set.
Renters: Before the Inspection
Schedule the clean for after the last load leaves and before your landlord's inspection. Leave a day between the clean and the key handoff if you can. If we miss anything, let us know within 24 hours of your clean and we’ll send the crew back to fix it at no charge. When you ask for a quote, tell us your move-out date and the day you hand back the keys, so we can confirm availability before your deadline.
Landlords: Between Tenants
Book the clean for the gap between one lease and the next, once the unit is empty. Tell us the date it's vacant and when the next tenant moves in.
Selling or Buying: Around Closing
If the home is changing owners, include your closing date in your quote request. Buying instead? The same empty-home checklist works as a move-in clean before your belongings arrive.
Moving In: Before Your Boxes Arrive
A move-in clean uses the same move-in/move-out column of our checklist. Inside the refrigerator, oven, cabinets and drawers are cleaned while the shelves are still empty. Plan it for the window between getting the keys and the moving truck, so every box you open goes onto a shelf that is already done. Send your closing or lease start date with your quote request.
Before Cleaning Day
Leave the water and power on until the clean is finished. If repair or trade work is still going on in the home, tell us, because it can create fresh dust after we finish.
Renters: Bring Your Landlord's Checklist
If your landlord or property manager gave you a move-out checklist, send it with your quote request. We compare it with our move-out checklist, point out anything that falls outside it, and add the extras you choose to your quote. A landlord's list doesn't expand the booked service on its own; the work we agree on with you does.
Your landlord decides what comes out of the deposit. What we control is the clean: every item we agreed on.
Landlords and Property Managers: Vacant Units Between Tenants
We clean vacant Phoenix rentals between tenants to the same move-out checklist, so the next tenant opens a clean refrigerator, oven and cabinets. Send the unit size, the date it's empty and your turnover checklist with your quote request. Certificate of insurance available on request.
Apartments, Condos and Townhomes Across Phoenix
Apartments, condos, townhomes and houses all get the same move-out checklist. Building and HOA rules apply to the visit. You don't need to be home. The office arranges access with you privately after booking.
Hard Water in an Empty Phoenix Home
Phoenix has hard water, and its mineral spots show up on shower glass and sinks. On a move-out, shower doors, tracks and glass are cleaned and dried, and so are the sinks. Heavy mineral buildup is quoted separately.
How a Phoenix Move-Out Clean Works
- Call or text (623) 400-8372, or request a quote online. Send the square footage, beds, baths, ZIP, your move-out date and any landlord or turnover checklist.
- We'll agree on what to clean and the price before we visit. If the condition of the home or the work you need changes, nothing extra happens until you approve it.
- The empty home is cleaned room by room against the move-out column of the checklist. Our cleaners bring the supplies and equipment required for the quoted service.
- Before we leave, each room is checked against the published list.
- If we miss anything, let us know within 24 hours of your clean and we’ll send the crew back to fix it at no charge.

Phoenix Move-Out Cleaning Questions
What does move-out cleaning cost in Phoenix?
Move-in or move-out cleaning is quoted from the size and condition of the home: empty homes from square footage, furnished homes and post-renovation dust after the details. You have one number before we arrive, and it does not change at the door.
Is inside the oven and refrigerator included in a Phoenix move-out clean?
Yes. Inside the refrigerator, oven, cabinets and drawers are included in every move-out clean. So are the pantry shelves and floor, the medicine cabinet, the closets, and wet-wiped blinds and shutters.
Will a move-out clean get my deposit back?
Your landlord decides what comes out of the deposit, not the cleaning company. What we control is the clean. Send your landlord's checklist before we quote. We compare it with our move-out checklist, point out anything that falls outside it, and add the extras you choose to your quote.
When should I schedule my move-out clean?
After the last of your belongings is out, and before the next occupant moves in or your landlord inspects. If repair or trade work is still going on, schedule the clean after it, because that work can create fresh dust. Book once your move-out date is set.
How Soon Can You Clean After I Move Out?
Contact us as soon as you know your move date. Share the home’s size, condition, and deadline so we can confirm availability and the cleaning scope. Request a quote online and we'll be in touch with your price and available dates, or call (623) 400-8372 and we'll find the soonest opening on our schedule.
Do I need to be there during the move-out clean?
No. The office arranges access with you privately after booking.
Do you clean apartments and condos in Phoenix?
Yes. Apartments, condos, townhomes and houses all get the same move-out checklist, and building and HOA rules apply to the visit. Send the beds, baths, square footage and move-out date for your quote.
Do you clean rentals between tenants for landlords and property managers?
Yes. We clean vacant units between tenants to the same move-out checklist, including inside the refrigerator, oven and cabinets. Send the unit size, the date it's empty and your turnover checklist, and we'll quote the unit.
What isn't included in a move-out clean?
Repairs and restoration, disposal of items left behind, moving heavy furniture or appliances, climbing beyond a two-step ladder, and exterior work that needs specialty equipment. We also don't handle bodily fluids, pet waste, active infestations or hazardous materials. Interior windows, wall spot cleaning, and garage or patio sweeps are extras you can add to your quote.
Do you do move-in cleaning in Phoenix?
Yes. The same empty-home checklist works as a move-in clean before your belongings arrive, including inside the refrigerator, oven, cabinets and drawers. Send your closing or lease start date, the square footage, beds and baths for your quote.
Do you bring the cleaning supplies?
Yes. Our cleaners bring the supplies and equipment required for the quoted service. Eco-friendly and pet-safe products are available on request. Please leave the water and power on until the clean is finished.
