What Is a Move In Cleaning Service?

A move-in cleaning service is a professional deep cleaning of a property before the new tenant moves in their furniture and belongings. It is much more thorough than a regular cleaning, as it includes cleaning inside appliances, inside cabinets, baseboards, and light fixtures, as well as disinfecting all bathroom surfaces.

It's made for one reason only: to provide you with a clean, healthy, and ready-to-move-in home, without requiring you to clean it yourself, especially since the moving process is already hectic.

Usually, move-in home cleaning is done on vacant premises, so cleaners will have the freedom to clean every surface without furniture being in the way - So, your home will get the most thorough clean it has ever seen.

The Problem: You Don't Know What You're Moving Into

Here is the real situation: even if a place looks pretty tidy after the former tenant has left, tidy is not the same as clean.

Years of use mean that grease accumulates inside ovens and range hoods. Bacteria can still be found on bathroom surfaces that look clean. Allergens — dust mites, pet dander, mould spores — are found inside cabinets and behind appliances.

And none of this can be seen during the pre-move walkthrough. If your family includes young children, if you are a person with allergies, or if you are someone who wants to be sure that their home is safe and clean from the very first day, then moving into an unclean property will not only be a little uncomfortable for you, it will also be a real health concern.

So, it would be a wise decision to schedule a professional move-in home cleaning service even before you unpack. You only get one opportunity to clean your house when it is empty. Do not gamble, but rather seize that opportunity.

Weekly maintenance

Regular cleaning preserves a clean home, while move-in cleaning resets a home to a newly sanitised baseline - a hygiene level that you can build upon. In case you want continual upkeep post the move-in clean, our general cleaning service can maintain your house in good condition week after week.
