What’s Included in a Professional Move-In/Move-Out Cleaning?

Moving can be stressful, and the cleaning that comes with it can often feel overwhelming. Whether you’re moving into a new home or preparing to leave your old one behind, a professional move-in/move-out cleaning service can make all the difference. But what exactly does a professional cleaning service include? 

In this blog post, we’ll walk you through the key aspects of a move-in cleaning or move-out cleaning and explain how Competitive Cleaning takes the burden of cleaning off your shoulders, ensuring a smooth transition into or out of your home.

Competitive Cleaning offers comprehensive move-in/move-out cleaning services in North Ridgeville and the surrounding areas, including Westlake, Strongsville, and Kiawah Island, making your life easier during the busy moving process. Let’s break down what’s included in a typical professional cleaning for these major milestones.

What Does a Professional Move-In/Move-Out Cleaning Include?

When you book professional cleaning services for your move, you are ensuring that every area of your home is thoroughly cleaned, sanitized, and ready for its new occupants (or you). Here’s what you can typically expect from a move-in cleaning or move-out cleaning service:

1. Detailed Dust and Debris Removal

Before moving in, the last thing you want is leftover dust and debris. Competitive Cleaning ensures that all surfaces—baseboards, window sills, and high surfaces—are meticulously dusted. Our team also removes construction dust or any remnants of previous tenants, ensuring that your new space is clean and allergen-free.

High-touch areas like doorknobs, light switches, and handles are sanitized to prevent the spread of germs.  Air vents are cleaned to improve air quality.

2. Comprehensive Floor Cleaning

Floors often accumulate dirt, dust, and debris during a move. Whether you have carpet, hardwood, tile, or vinyl flooring, a professional cleaning service takes care of it all.

• Carpet cleaning: Professional vacuuming and deep cleaning (often steam cleaning) ensure carpets are free from dust mites, stains, and allergens.
• Hardwood floor cleaning: We use eco-friendly methods to clean and restore the finish of your floors, leaving them streak-free and polished.
• Tile and grout cleaning: Specialized cleaning removes dirt and stains from grout lines, ensuring your tile floors shine like new.

3. Kitchen Deep Cleaning

The kitchen is one of the most important areas that need deep cleaning when moving in or out. A professional move-in cleaning service focuses on every aspect of your kitchen:

• Appliance cleaning: We clean and sanitize your refrigerator, oven, microwave, and dishwasher, inside and out, so they’re ready for use right away.
• Countertops, cabinets, and sinks: We thoroughly clean all surfaces to remove grime, grease, and buildup.
• Floors: Kitchen floors can often get sticky from food spills. We mop and sanitize these areas to restore them to their original shine.

4. Bathroom Cleaning and Sanitization

Bathrooms are high-touch areas that require thorough cleaning. A move-out cleaning ensures the bathrooms are spotless for the next residents or for you:

• Shower, tub, and sink: We clean and sanitize these areas, eliminating soap scum, water stains, and mold buildup.
• Toilet cleaning: Our team ensures toilets are properly sanitized, disinfected, and free of germs.
• Mirrors and fixtures: We wipe down all mirrors, faucets, and light fixtures to restore their shine.

5. Window and Glass Cleaning

Nothing makes a home feel fresher than clean windows and glass surfaces. Our move-in cleaning services include:

• Window washing: We clean both the interior and exterior of your windows, removing smudges and streaks.
• Glass surfaces: Mirrors, glass doors, and other glass surfaces are polished to perfection.

6. Special Requests or Areas of Focus

At Competitive Cleaning, we understand that every home is different, and your cleaning needs may vary. We offer customizable services to ensure we address your unique requirements. Need to focus on a certain area? We are happy to assist with:

• Cleaning specific rooms like closets, attics, or basements.
• Heavy-duty cleaning for stubborn stains or high-traffic areas.

7. Final Inspection and Touch-Ups

Once the move-out or move-in cleaning is complete, our team conducts a final walk-through to ensure every corner is spotless. We handle any final touch-ups, making sure nothing is overlooked and your home is ready for occupancy.
