Move-in cleaning in Seattle

No trace of the last people who lived there

Crumbs in the kitchen drawers. Fingerprints on every switch and door. Whatever is stuck to the fridge shelves, and the grime along the baseboards and in the window tracks. A home can look clean in the listing photos and still be full of the last occupants. We clean it all out, while the home is empty and every surface is in reach.

Book us for the gap between getting the keys and the movers arriving. Once the dishes, food, and boxes go in, the insides of the cabinets and the back of the fridge disappear for years. Landlords and property managers book the same clean to hand a new tenant a fresh start.

Every trace of the last occupants, room by room

A move-in clean is everything in our deep clean, plus extra time everywhere the last occupants leave their traces:

• Inside every cabinet and drawer. Kitchen and bathroom: crumbs, hair, and sticky spots out, and shelves and drawer bottoms wiped.
• Fridge, freezer, dishwasher, and microwave. Inside and out, with door edges and gaskets, and a removable dishwasher filter.
• Everything they touched. Light switches and plates, door handles and edges, cabinet pulls, faucet handles, the thermostat, and banisters.
• Bathrooms. Inside the vanity and medicine cabinet, hair cleared from the drains we can reach, and the toilet base, bolt caps, and the floor behind it.
• Closets. Shelves and rods wiped, and floors vacuumed and washed, so your clothes go into a clean space.
• Vents and returns. Wiped, so the first run of the heat doesn’t blow their dust around your new home.
• Walls, windows, and floors. Marks spot-cleaned wherever they lift without harming the paint, sills and tracks cleared, and every floor washed to the edges.
• Fresh drains. We run water in every sink, tub, and shower and flush every toilet, so drains that sat dry don’t smell.
• A walk-through as you will do it. We open every cabinet, drawer, and appliance. If we’d hesitate to put our own dishes there, it isn’t done.
