Move-In Cleaning in Clackamas, OR
Move-in cleaning gets your new home clean before your boxes arrive.
Move-in cleaning gets your new home clean before your boxes arrive. Even when a previous occupant cleaned, kitchens and bathrooms often need a fresh start before you unpack your dishes and toothbrushes.
Cleaning an empty home is faster and more thorough than cleaning around furniture, so the days between closing or lease signing and moving day are the perfect window.

Who it's for
Move-in cleaning helps new homeowners, renters moving into apartments and families relocating to the Clackamas area who want to start fresh.
Before your visit
Book the clean before the movers arrive. If you have keys a day or two early, that is the best time to schedule it.
How move-in cleaning differs from our other services
Move-in cleaning is about starting fresh in a home that someone else lived in. Before furniture arrives we sanitize the places you will use first: bathrooms, kitchen counters, inside cabinets where dishes will go, and shelves and closet rods. Where move-out cleaning is judged by an inspector, move-in cleaning is judged by you, so we ask what matters most to you before we start.

What a move-in cleaning visit looks like
We begin with a quick check of anything you flagged when you booked. For this service, that usually means starting with cabinets and drawers wiped inside and out and inside appliances cleaned, then bathrooms sanitized from top to bottom. Floors come last so nothing is tracked across clean surfaces. Before leaving, your cleaner walks the home once more against the checklist.
Good to know
Move-in timing matters. The best window is after the previous occupants leave and before your boxes arrive, so cabinets, closets and floors can be cleaned while they are completely empty.
