Move-Out Cleaning in Maywood
You have enough to do on moving week. We clean the home you are leaving once the boxes are gone. That means inside cabinets and drawers, inside the oven and fridge, baseboards, and bathrooms scrubbed down. The next people walk into a clean place.
What a move-out clean is for
A move-out clean is done in an empty home. With the furniture and boxes out, we can reach the spots a normal cleaning skips. That includes the floor under where the couch sat, the shelf liners, the top of the fridge and the tracks of the sliding door.
It is the right call when you are handing keys back to a landlord, selling, or passing the place to family. We clean it the way we would want a neighbor's house cleaned before we moved in. If you are on the other end and getting a new place ready, see our move-in cleaning page.
What we clean on a move-out
- Cabinets and drawers, inside and out
- We empty out crumbs and wipe every shelf. We clean the doors, the handles and the toe kick at the bottom, where grease and dust build up.
- Oven, stovetop and range hood
- We degrease the inside of the oven, the racks and the burners. We also clean the hood filter area, which collects a film of cooking grease over time.
- Refrigerator and dishwasher
- We clean the fridge inside, including the drawers and door shelves. We wipe out the dishwasher's door edges and filter area.
- Bathrooms top to bottom
- We scrub the tub, shower, toilet and sink, and wipe the mirrors and cabinets. Hard water leaves mineral spots on fixtures and glass across Southern California, so we take time on the faucets and shower doors.
- Baseboards, doors and switch plates
- We wipe baseboards, door frames, light switches and outlet covers. These pick up scuffs and fingerprints that show once the rooms are empty.
- Floors, last
- Once the dust from higher up is down, we vacuum the carpet and wash hard floors. We do corners and closet floors too.
Signs it is time to book a move-out clean
Your lease asks for a clean unit
Many leases say the place must be returned clean. A full clean before the walk-through gives you one less thing to argue about.
The empty rooms look worse than you thought
Moving the furniture shows dust lines, dirty outlines on the floor and marks on the walls behind the bed. That is normal, and it is what we clean.
You are selling or listing the home
Buyers and agents open the oven and the cabinets. A clean, empty home is easier to show.
You are out of time
Packing, the truck, utilities and the new place all land the same week. Handing the cleaning to us frees up a day.

We set a date after the movers

- 3
We clean from the top down
We start high with vents, shelves and cabinet tops and work down to baseboards and floors. Kitchen and bathrooms get the most time.

You check it before we leave
Walk through with us if you can. If something got missed, point it out and we fix it then.
What moves the price of a move-out clean
Every home is a little different, so we quote by phone after a few questions. The price comes from how much there is to clean and what shape it is in. You get the number before we start.
- Size of the home
- More bedrooms and bathrooms means more hours. Bathrooms take the longest per square foot.
- Condition of the kitchen
- An oven with years of baked-on grease or a fridge that was left running full takes longer than one that was kept up.
- Extras you want
- Inside windows, wall spot cleaning or the garage floor add time. Tell us up front and we include them in the quote.
- Whether the home is empty
- An empty home goes faster. If boxes or furniture are still there, we have to work around them.
Move-out cleaning questions
Something not covered here? (323) 894-9335
Will this get my deposit back?
We cannot promise what a landlord decides. What we can do is clean the places landlords check, like the oven, fridge, bathrooms, cabinets and floors. If your lease lists specific items, read them to us when you call and we will cover them.
Do I need to be there?
No. Many people are already at the new place. You can leave a key or arrange access, and we will let you know when we are done.
Should the home be empty before you come?
Yes, if you can. We clean best once the furniture and boxes are out. If a few things will still be there, tell us when you call.
Do you bring the supplies?
Yes. We bring our own cleaners, cloths and vacuum. You do not need to leave anything behind for us.
How do other customers rate you?
We hold a 4.9-star average from 2,274 verified reviews. Move-out jobs are a big part of that, because people notice when an empty home is really clean.
