Move-out cleaning
An empty house, cleaned to the standard a deposit is judged by.
- from $385
- 4 to 8 hours
For a home with nothing left in it. Inside every cabinet, drawer, closet, the oven, the fridge, the range hood filter, all interior glass, and the marks a decade of furniture leaves on a wall.
Who books this
Tenants who want the deposit back, owners handing over keys, and landlords turning a unit between tenancies.

Book with a date buffer
Give us a day between your movers and your final inspection. Cleaning around boxes is not a move-out clean.
Utilities stay on
We need hot water, power and light. Without them the visit gets rescheduled, so it is worth confirming with the property manager.
Cleaned to the lease
Send us the move-out checklist your landlord uses and we will work to it directly.
Documented
You get dated photographs of every room. It is the cheapest deposit insurance there is.
What is included
- Inside all cabinets, drawers, closets and the pantry
- Inside the oven, using a sodium-percarbonate paste and time rather than caustic fumes
- Inside and behind the fridge, plus the range hood filter degreased
- All interior window glass, sills and tracks
- Spot-cleaning of scuffs on painted walls where the paint finish allows it
- Light fittings, vents, closet shelving, and the tops of every door
- A photo record of the finished condition, sent to you the same day
What is not
- Carpet extraction, which most Portland leases require separately
- Painting, patching and any repair work
- Removing anything left behind, including rubbish and furniture
- Exterior surfaces, garages with stored items, and crawl spaces
We keep referrals for every one of these. Ask and you will get a name, not a shrug.
What comes into the house.
The kit for this visit, with every ingredient published. Fragrance-free unless you ask otherwise, and nothing gets used on a surface it can damage.
Before you book.
The four we are asked most. The rest are here.
How is a first visit different?
The first visit is usually a deep clean, priced separately, because a recurring visit is designed to maintain a level rather than to catch up on a backlog. If a house has been well kept we will say so and skip it.
Do I need to be home?
No. Most recurring clients give us a lockbox code or a key, held under our bond. If you are home, that is fine too, and we will work around whichever room you are in.
What does it cost?
Recurring visits start at 165 dollars for a two bed one bath every two weeks. Deep cleans start around 420 dollars, move-outs around 385 dollars, and both are quoted after a walkthrough rather than from a square-footage calculator. Prices shown on this demo site are illustrative.
What will you not do?
Mould remediation beyond roughly ten square feet, carpet and upholstery extraction, post-construction dust, pest or biohazard contamination, exterior windows, anything above a two-step ladder, and any sanding or scraping of painted surfaces in a home built before 1978. We keep referrals for all of it.
The other two.
