What is Move In and Move Out Cleaning?

It involves more than a regular cleaning routine, targeting neglected areas like behind appliances, inside cabinets, and other hidden spots.

This service is ideal for renters looking to recover their security deposit, landlords preparing a property for the market, or homeowners wanting a fresh start in their new residence.

DIY Move In and Move Out Cleaning Tips

If you prefer to clean the space yourself, here are some tips to ensure a thorough job:

Start with a Checklist

Create a detailed list of areas to clean, including often-overlooked spots like ceiling fans, baseboards, and under furniture.

Tackle One Room at a Time

Break down the cleaning process by rooms to stay organized and avoid feeling overwhelmed.

Use Appropriate Cleaning Supplies

Invest in quality cleaning products for specific surfaces and stains, such as glass cleaners for windows or degreasers for kitchen appliances.

Clean from Top to Bottom

Begin with higher areas, like ceilings and shelves, and work your way down to floors. This prevents dust from resettling on cleaned surfaces.

Ensure Proper Ventilation

Open windows or use fans to allow fresh air circulation while cleaning, especially when using strong chemicals.

While DIY cleaning can save money, it is time-intensive and may not achieve professional-level results. Call Maid Pretty at (318) 909-8602 for expert cleaning services and save yourself the stress!
