ServicesMove-In Cleaning
Move-In Cleaning in Maywood
You got the keys. Before the couch and the boxes come in, we clean the empty rooms the way you'd want them: inside every cabinet, behind the stove, down to the baseboards. You move into a home that's actually clean, not just cleaned for a showing.
Clean It Once, While It's Empty
A house is never easier to clean than the day before you move in. No furniture to work around, no dishes in the cabinets, nothing on the floor. We can reach the corners, the shelf liners, the inside of the oven and the tracks of every window.
The last people may have left it tidy. That's not the same as clean. Kitchen drawers hold crumbs, bathroom grout holds someone else's soap scum, and the fridge often has a smell nobody noticed. We take care of all of it so your first night feels like yours.
We treat your new home the way we'd want a neighbor to treat ours. That means showing up when we say, doing the work you asked for, and telling you plainly if something needs more than a cleaning.
What We Clean Before You Move In
Inside cabinets and drawers
We vacuum out crumbs and dust, then wipe every shelf, drawer and door, inside and out. Your dishes and clothes go into clean spaces.
Kitchen appliances
We clean inside the oven, the fridge and the microwave, plus the stovetop and range hood. We pull the fridge and stove out where they move safely and clean the floor and sides behind them.
Bathrooms from top to bottom
Toilets, tubs, showers, sinks and mirrors get scrubbed and disinfected. We work on soap scum and hard water spots on glass and fixtures, and wipe out the vanity drawers.
Floors and baseboards
We vacuum and mop every hard floor, vacuum carpets and wipe baseboards room by room. Empty rooms let us get right into the edges.
Doors, switches and window tracks
Light switches, door handles and cabinet pulls get wiped down. We clean window sills and tracks, where dust and dead bugs collect.
Closets and shelves
Closet rods, shelves and floors are dusted and wiped so nothing you hang up picks up the last owner's dust.
Signs Your New Place Needs a Move-In Clean
- The kitchen smells off
- A faint smell from the fridge, the oven or under the sink usually means old spills or grease nobody reached. Wiping the counters won't fix it.
- Cabinets have crumbs or residue
- Open a few drawers. If you see crumbs, sticky spots or old shelf liner, the rest of the kitchen likely needs the same attention.
- The bathroom only looks clean
- Gray grout, cloudy shower glass and buildup around the faucet base mean it got a quick wipe, not a real scrub.
- Dust on sills and baseboards
- Dust settles fast in empty rooms, especially during dry, windy stretches. If you can draw a line in it with your finger, the whole place needs a pass.
- You'd rather unpack than scrub
- Moving week is long enough. If you'd rather spend it setting up rooms than on your knees cleaning an oven, that's reason enough.
How Move-In Day Goes

Get your free quote by phone
Tell us the size of the place, how many bathrooms, and anything you've noticed, like a greasy oven or a dirty fridge. We'll give you a free quote and pick a day before your furniture arrives.

We arrive and walk through
We do a quick walk-through with you or with whoever lets us in. If something looks like it needs a repair, not a cleaning, we'll say so.
- 3
We clean top to bottom
We start high and work down: cabinets, shelves and appliances first, then counters and fixtures, floors last. That way dust falls onto surfaces we haven't finished yet.

You check it before we leave
Walk the rooms with us and look inside the cabinets. If we missed a spot, we fix it while we're still there. If you notice something after we've gone, give us a call by the next day and we'll look into it and make it right fairly.
What Moves the Price
Every home is different, so we quote by phone after hearing about yours. The quote is free. These are the things that change it most.
- Size and number of bathrooms
- More rooms and more bathrooms mean more hours. Bathrooms take the longest per square foot.
- How it was left
- A home that was cleaned before the last people left goes faster. Heavy grease, built-up soap scum or pet hair take extra time.
- Appliances you want done
- Inside the oven and fridge is part of our move-in clean, but a very dirty oven or extra appliances add time.
- Extra areas
- A garage, patio or second fridge isn't always in a standard move-in job. Mention them and we'll include them in your quote.
Move-In Cleaning Questions
- Does the house need to be empty?
- Empty is best, and it's how we plan a move-in clean. If a few boxes or pieces of furniture are already in, that's fine. We'll work around them and let you know if anything blocks a spot we can't reach.
- What's the difference between move-in and move-out cleaning?
- The cleaning is close to the same. The difference is who it's for. Move-out cleaning gets a place ready to hand back to a landlord or buyer. Move-in cleaning gets it ready for you to live in, so we focus on the spots you'll use every day, like cabinets, the fridge and bathrooms.
- Do I need to be there?
- No. Many people are still finishing their old place. You can leave us access and we'll walk through with you by phone or when you get there. We still like you to check the work before calling it done.
- Should I book a deep cleaning instead?
- For an empty home, a move-in clean already covers what a deep cleaning would, including inside cabinets and appliances. Once you've settled in, our regular cleaning keeps it that way.
- How do other customers rate you?
- We hold a 4.9-star average from 2,274 verified reviews. A lot of that comes from doing simple things right: showing up, cleaning what we said we'd clean, and fixing anything you point out.
- Do you clean in nearby towns too?
- Yes. Along with Maywood, we clean homes in Bell, Huntington Park, Cudahy, South Gate and other nearby towns. Ask when you get your quote.
