The short answer

What does move-in / move-out cleaning include?

Move-in/move-out cleaning is a detailed clean scoped around an empty home: inside ovens, refrigerators, microwaves and dishwashers, inside empty cabinets, baseboards, grout and every room with no furniture in the way. It's built for tenants preparing for a landlord inspection, owners closing out a sale, or anyone moving into a home before unpacking.

Moving is already a long list of boxes, deadlines and logistics, and cleaning an entire home from top to bottom rarely makes the list until the last minute. Move-in/move-out cleaning is built around that exact moment: a home with no furniture in the way, cabinets and closets open and empty, and every room accessible for a full pass that a lived-in home doesn't allow.

For tenants, this usually means getting the home ready for a landlord or property manager's final walkthrough before handing back the keys. Landlords and property managers typically look closely at kitchens, bathrooms, baseboards and flooring during that inspection, which is why those areas get focused attention rather than a quick surface wipe. For owners and buyers, it means a home that's genuinely clean before the next family moves their own boxes in.

MS Floors & Cleaning handles move-in/move-out cleaning across Orlando and the surrounding Central Florida cities, from apartments and single-family rentals to homes changing owners. The scope is the same either way: an empty space, cleaned corner to corner, with the extra access an empty home allows spent on appliance interiors, cabinets and baseboards instead of working around furniture.

What is included

Move-In / Move-Out Cleaning, start to finish

Inside the oven, refrigerator, microwave and dishwasher

Appliance interiors are cleaned throughout, since an empty home makes it possible to reach every surface.

Inside empty cabinets and closets

Cabinet and closet interiors are cleaned once they're empty, including shelves and corners that are normally blocked by belongings.

Baseboards, door frames and trim throughout

With no furniture blocking the walls, baseboards and trim get a full pass in every room.

Bathrooms top to bottom

Grout, caulking, fixtures, mirrors and vanities are cleaned throughout each bathroom in the home.

Floors throughout the home

Floors are cleaned edge to edge in every room, including closets and corners that furniture usually covers.

Light fixtures, switches and vents

Light switches, outlet covers, vent covers and ceiling fans are wiped down room by room.

Window sills and tracks

Window sills and tracks are cleaned throughout, along with sliding door tracks where present.

How it works

How our move-in / move-out cleaning works

01

Confirm the home is empty

The visit is scheduled once the home is fully empty or close to it, since an empty space is what makes the full scope possible.

02

Kitchen and appliance interiors

Oven, refrigerator, microwave and dishwasher interiors are cleaned first, along with countertops and cabinet interiors.

03

Bathrooms and bedrooms

Each bathroom gets grout, fixtures and vanities cleaned, while bedrooms and living areas get baseboards, closets and floors.

04

Final walkthrough-ready pass

Windows, light fixtures, switches and any remaining detail work are finished so the home is ready for the next inspection or walkthrough.

Move-Out Cleaning and the Landlord Inspection

Most leases in Central Florida expect the unit to be returned in a condition close to how it was received, and landlords and property managers typically walk through kitchens, bathrooms, baseboards and flooring closely before returning a security deposit. A thorough move-out clean addresses exactly those areas, since they're what most inspections focus on.

Move-out cleaning is scheduled for after the home is empty of furniture and belongings, since that's what allows a full pass on appliance interiors, closets and baseboards. Tenants in apartments and single-family rentals across Orlando, Kissimmee and the surrounding area book this service as one of the last steps before the final walkthrough.

Move-In Cleaning for a Fresh Start

A home can look clean in a listing photo and still carry dust, grime and buildup from the previous occupants, especially in appliance interiors, cabinets and bathroom grout. Move-in cleaning covers the same scope as a move-out clean, timed for before the new occupant's furniture arrives instead of after the old occupant leaves.

This fits buyers closing on a resale home, renters moving into a new apartment, or owners preparing a rental between tenants. It's easiest to schedule the clean for the window between the previous occupant leaving and the new one's furniture arriving, when the home is still fully empty.

Furnished vs. Empty Homes

The full move-in/move-out scope, including cabinet and appliance interiors, depends on the home being empty or close to it. A home that still has furniture or boxes in place limits access to some of those areas, which can mean a different scope than a fully empty clean.

If the timeline doesn't allow for a completely empty home, tell us what's still in place when requesting an estimate so the scope can be adjusted rather than assumed.

Move-In / Move-Out Cleaning: common questions

No cleaning service can guarantee a deposit return, since that decision is up to the landlord or property manager and depends on more than cleanliness, like damage or lease terms. A thorough move-out clean addresses the areas most inspections focus on, like kitchens, bathrooms and baseboards, but the final decision is theirs.
An empty home allows for the full scope, including appliance and cabinet interiors and baseboards with nothing blocking them. If some furniture or boxes are still in place, let us know when requesting an estimate so the scope can be adjusted.
Appliance interiors, empty cabinets and closets, and baseboards and trim throughout every room get full attention, since an empty home makes those areas fully accessible. A regular cleaning works around furniture and belongings, which limits how much of that detail is possible.
That depends on the timing of both homes being empty and accessible. Share both dates when requesting an estimate and we'll confirm what's possible.
Floors are cleaned as part of the visit, including vacuuming and wiping down hard flooring edges and baseboards. Carpet shampooing is a separate service; ask if that's needed for the move-out.
Booking as soon as the move-out or move-in date is confirmed gives the most flexibility, especially since the home needs to be empty for the full scope. Tell us the timeline when requesting an estimate.
