Move-In Cleaning in North Vancouver
Move-in cleaning is a deep clean of your new North Vancouver home before your furniture arrives, covering the inside of appliances, cabinets, closets, bathrooms, and floors. Book for 1 to 2 days before your move date, after the previous occupant has fully vacated and before boxes and furniture show up. A typical 2 to 3 bedroom home in North Vancouver takes 4 to 6 hours.

A move-in clean saves you time during an already busy week and removes allergens, pet dander, and residue left behind by the previous occupant. Our team uses HEPA-filter vacuums and eco-friendly, plant-based products, so you unpack into a genuinely clean space. Years of cleaning homes across North Vancouver taught us the difference between a Lower Lonsdale condo with in-suite laundry and a character home in Pemberton Heights with an older kitchen layout. That familiarity means our team shows up knowing what to expect.
Move-Out Cleaning in North Vancouver
Move-out cleaning is built around one goal: protecting your security deposit. British Columbia's Residential Tenancy Act requires tenants to leave a rental in a reasonably clean condition. You can review the province's official guidance through the BC Residential Tenancy Branch. Under the Act, a landlord in North Vancouver can generally deduct for cleaning costs (if the unit wasn't left reasonably clean), repair or damage costs beyond normal wear and tear, and disposal fees for items left behind.
Book 1 to 2 weeks ahead if you can, though our team can often accommodate last-minute requests. A 2 to 3 bedroom North Vancouver property takes about 4 to 6 hours.

Move-In vs. Move-Out: What's the Difference in North Vancouver
Move-in and move-out cleaning cover the same ground, appliances, cabinets, bathrooms, and floors, but serve different purposes: getting a home ready to live in versus getting a rental ready for inspection. Both take about the same time for a similar-sized property.
Why North Vancouver Trusts Mint Sanitary
North Vancouver's rainy climate means floors and entryways track in dirt fast, especially during a move when doors stay open and boxes go back and forth. North Vancouver's mix of rental condo towers in Lower Lonsdale and larger family homes in Lynn Valley and Edgemont Village means turnover looks different from one job to the next, and our team adjusts scope and crew size to match.
Every Mint Sanitary cleaner is background-checked, bonded, and insured.
We're available 7 days a week, including evenings.
Every estimate is free and transparent, with no hidden fees.
If anything's missed, we'll return within 24 hours to fix it at no charge.
New customers get 10% off their first clean with code MINT26.
