Timing your move clean
Step 1
Book ahead
Reserve a date as soon as you know your move-out or closing date. End-of-month days fill up first.
Step 2
Clear it out
Clean after the last box and piece of furniture is out, so we can reach inside, behind and under.
Step 3
We clean it empty
Your cleaner works through the Move-In / Move-Out checklist, room by room.
Step 4
Walkthrough ready
Hand over the keys or move in knowing it’s clean. Leave your lease checklist in the booking notes.
