Move-in and move-out cleaning in Metro Vancouver

Moving cleans are done on an empty or nearly empty home, so we can reach inside cabinets, appliances and closets. The goal is a place that is ready for a walkthrough or for new occupants to settle into.

$40 per hour — simple and transparent

Every clean is $40 per hour. We keep our pricing simple and transparent, and we do not charge higher rates for move-in or move-out cleans.

Who move-in and move-out cleaning is best for

  • Tenants at the end of a lease
  • Landlords and property managers between tenancies
  • Buyers and sellers around a completion date
  • Anyone handing over keys

Moving cleans are done on an empty home and include inside cabinets, closets and appliances in the base scope — those are extras on a standard or deep clean. If you are staying in the home and just want detail work caught up, book a deep cleaning instead.

What is included

  • Inside cabinets, drawers and closets
  • Inside oven, fridge and dishwasher
  • Spot-cleaning of walls and scuff marks
  • Interior windows, tracks and sills
  • Floors cleaned throughout

What is not normally included

So there are no surprises, these fall outside this service:

  • Pest control, mould remediation or biohazard cleaning
  • Exterior windows above ground level
  • Moving heavy furniture or appliances
  • Carpet steam cleaning
  • Anything unsafe to reach without specialised equipment

Optional add-ons

Any of these can be added when you request a quote or by message before your visit.

  • Inside the fridge or freezer
  • Inside the oven
  • Interior windows
  • Interior doors and frames
  • Laundry (wash and fold)
  • Balcony or patio sweep
  • Cabinet interiors

How the service works

  1. Tell us the address, home size and your key date
  2. We confirm the scope and send a free quote
  3. We clean the empty home to the moving checklist
  4. You do your walkthrough and tell us if anything needs another pass

How long does it take

Timing depends on the size of the empty home and its condition. Inside appliances, cabinets and closets add time compared to a furnished-home clean. We confirm a realistic estimate with your quote rather than promising an exact duration.

How to prepare

  • Have the home as empty as possible — results are best with no furniture left
  • Confirm the move-out or possession date so we can schedule around it
  • Arrange access for the cleaning day: keys, lockbox or concierge
  • Let us know about any walkthrough or inspection deadline

Questions about move-in and move-out cleaning

When in the move should the cleaning happen?

After your belongings are out and before the walkthrough or new occupants arrive. For move-ins, ideally before your furniture is delivered.

Does this cover what a landlord expects at the end of a lease?

The checklist is built for tenancy handovers, but expectations vary by landlord and property manager. Share any written requirements you have and we will confirm what is covered.

Can you clean a partly furnished home?

Yes, though results are best when the home is fully empty. Let us know what will still be inside and we will adjust the scope.

Do you handle carpet steam cleaning or repairs?

No. Carpet steam cleaning, wall repairs and paint touch-ups are outside this service. We can tell you honestly if something needs a specialist.
