Move-In Cleaning in Maryland & Washington, DC
The best time to clean a home is when it is empty. A move-in clean covers everything before your furniture arrives: inside cabinets and closets, appliances, bathrooms, floors, and the corners that get covered up the moment you unpack. You start fresh in a space that is genuinely yours, not one that carries the last resident's dust.
Who this service is for
- Homebuyers taking possession of a new house
- Renters starting a new lease who want a truly clean start
- Landlords preparing a unit for an incoming tenant
- Real estate agents adding value for clients at closing

What to expect
Move-in cleans are usually scheduled for an empty property and take about the same time as a deep clean. If utilities are not on yet, let us know so we can plan for water and power access.
Carefully selected cleaners
Every cleaner is vetted and trained before working in a client's home.
Consistent standards
A documented scope for your space means the same result every visit.
Clear communication
Upfront pricing, confirmed arrival windows, and a real person to reach.
Move-In Cleaning questions, answered
What is the difference between move-in and move-out cleaning?
The scope is similar — both are detailed cleans of an empty property. A move-out clean is aimed at a landlord or buyer inspection and deposit return. A move-in clean is aimed at making the space healthy and comfortable for you before your belongings arrive.
Should I schedule the cleaning before or after the movers?
Before, whenever possible. An empty home lets us clean inside closets, cabinets, and corners that furniture blocks.
Do you clean inside the appliances?
Yes. For move-in cleans, the oven, refrigerator, and dishwasher interiors are part of the standard scope.
Can you clean an apartment before I get the keys?
Only with authorization from the landlord or property manager to access the unit. Many property managers are happy to arrange it.
How soon should I book?
As soon as your closing or lease start date is set. Move dates cluster at the end of the month, so early booking gets better time slots.
