Move-In and Move-Out Cleaning in Greater Vancouver

These are two distinct services built around a specific moment: the handoff between one occupant and the next. A move-in clean gets a property ready for you to unpack into. A move-out clean gets a property ready to hand back, whether that's to a landlord, a new buyer, or a property manager. Both go deeper than a standard house cleaning because both happen when a space is empty, the only time you can reach every cabinet, closet, and appliance without furniture in the way.

Move-in cleaning is a deep clean performed before you move your belongings in, covering every room, including areas a regular clean doesn't touch: inside appliances, inside cabinets and closets, bathrooms top to bottom, and every floor surface. Book it one to two days before your move-in date, once the previous occupant has moved out and before your furniture arrives. A typical two to three bedroom home takes four to six hours.

A professional move-in clean saves you time during an already busy week, removes allergens and residue left by previous occupants, and gives you a documented, clean baseline for the property's condition. We use HEPA-filter vacuums and eco-friendly products that reach places household supplies typically can't match.

Move-out cleaning is a deep, one-time clean performed after your belongings are out and before the keys change hands, built around the standard a property needs to meet when a tenant leaves. The BC Residential Tenancy Act requires tenants to leave a rental in reasonably clean condition. Landlords are permitted to deduct from a security deposit for cleaning costs, for repair or damage beyond normal wear and tear, or for disposal of items left behind. A thorough move-out clean is the most direct way to protect your deposit and avoid a dispute.

Book one to two weeks before your move-out date if you can, especially near month-end when moving demand is high. Last-minute requests can often still be accommodated. A typical two to three bedroom property takes four to six hours.

Both are deep, one-time cleans covering the whole property, inside appliances included. Move-in cleaning is about a fresh start, timed to your arrival. Move-out cleaning is about handover, timed to your departure and focused on meeting the condition standard a landlord or property manager expects at inspection. If you're doing both, we can schedule the two cleans back to back to fit your timeline.
