What's Included
Cleaned like the inspector is coming.
Our move-in and move-out cleaning follows the detailed checklist landlords and property managers actually judge:
01
Cabinets & Drawers
Inside and out — every cabinet, drawer, shelf, and closet wiped clean of dust and debris.
02
Appliances Inside & Out
Oven, refrigerator, microwave, and dishwasher detailed inside and out — the deposit-inspection hotspots.
03
Bathrooms Sanitized
Toilets, tubs, showers, tile, grout, mirrors, and fixtures scrubbed and sanitized until they shine.
04
Detail Throughout
Baseboards, blinds, sills, fixtures, switch plates, and door handles — all wiped down in the empty space.
05
Floors Edge to Edge
Carpets vacuumed, hard floors vacuumed and mopped wall to wall — including closets and laundry areas.
06
Walls & Final Touches
Walls spot-cleaned for scuffs and marks, trash removed, and the whole home left fresh and move-in ready.
How It Works
Timed around your move.
Moving is chaotic enough — we fit the clean around your closing day or lease end.
Share your move date, home size, and move-in or move-out. We schedule around closings and lease deadlines.
Once furniture is out, our team details the entire home top to bottom — all supplies included.
Every clean is checklist-backed and covered by our satisfaction guarantee — hand over keys or unpack boxes knowing it's done right.

Questions.
Should the home be empty for move-out cleaning?+
We get the best results after furniture and belongings are out, since we can reach every corner, closet, and cabinet. If that's not possible, we can still work around remaining items — just let us know when you book.
Will move-out cleaning help me get my security deposit back?+
We clean to the detailed checklist landlords and property managers expect — inside cabinets and appliances, baseboards, bathrooms, floors, and more. While we can't control your landlord's final decision, our cleans are designed to leave nothing for them to flag.
How far in advance should I book move-in/move-out cleaning?+
A week or more is ideal, especially around the busy end-of-month moving rush. That said, we know moving timelines shift — call us and we'll do our best to fit tight turnarounds.
Is cleaning inside the oven and refrigerator included?+
Yes. Our move-in/move-out cleans include the inside of the oven and refrigerator, along with inside cabinets and drawers — the areas landlords check most closely.
How much does move-out cleaning cost in Des Moines?+
Pricing is based on your home's size and condition. Contact us for a free, no-pressure quote — tell us your timeline and we'll take it from there.
