Moving isn’t easy. On top of the endless to-do list, the last thing anyone wants to worry about is cleaning the home.

A good final clean is an important step whenever a home changes hands. Whether you’re a homeowner who just closed on a house, a renter moving out, or a landlord preparing for new tenants, move in and move out cleaning is a must.

After a long day of carrying boxes, signing papers, and organizing every detail, letting the professionals at WIPED Cleaning Services handle the cleaning will feel like a breath of fresh air.

We’ll take care of the move-in and move-out cleaning so you can relax and enjoy a little TLC while the dust from the move settles.

Why Choose Move In and Move Out Cleaning Instead of a Care Cleaning?

Move In and Move Out cleaning is the ideal service for homes in transition. It includes everything in a care cleaning, plus extra touches that are especially important when a home is empty.

Move In and Move Out Cleaning Pro Tips

With hundreds of move in and move out cleanings under our belts, we’ve seen it all and learned exactly what makes the process smooth, stress free, and spotless. Follow these pro tips to make your move seamless!

Quick Tips at a Glance:

  • calendar_today Schedule services on different days – Avoid overlap with movers, carpet cleaners, or other services.
  • check_circle Clean last – Make cleaning the final step before handing over the keys.
  • vpn_key Leave a key – Don’t wait around; let us access the home on time.
  • power Keep water and power on – Cleaning without utilities isn’t possible.
  • schedule Allow a few extra days – In case a re-cleaning is needed.

Schedule Services on Different Days

To get the best results, make sure other services like movers, carpet cleaners, or plumbers aren’t working at the same time as your cleaning. It’s hard to clean around moving boxes or contractors, and everyone works better with a little space.

Do the Cleaning Last

Cleaning should happen after everything else is done. Why? Because deposits, appearances, and overall quality can be affected if dust, dirt, or paint is tracked in after cleaning.

Ideal Move-Out Schedule:

  • Day 1: Pack and organize boxes.
  • Day 2: Movers come and remove all furniture.
  • Day 3: Repairs, patching holes, painting, and small projects.
  • Day 4: Home cleaning – this is when WIPED works our magic.
  • Day 5: Carpet cleaning (optional, for deep carpet care).
  • Day 6: Hand over the keys.

Leave a Key

Waiting around in an empty house is no one’s idea of fun. Leave a key in a safe spot under the mat, in a lockbox, or the mailbox so we can start promptly. This saves time and stress during your move.

Have Running Water and Power

Cleaning without water or electricity isn’t possible. Double check your utilities are on at least 24 hours before your scheduled cleaning to give the utility company time to activate.

Important: If utilities aren’t working when we arrive, the service will need to be rescheduled, which may include a cancellation fee.

Other Things

There are a number of things we can’t help with due to a lack of equipment or safety reasons. The full list can be found Here . If you have any questions about what is or is not included, feel free to reach out directly and ask.
