About Move In & Out Cleaning
NYC landlords have a short list of things they check: kitchen appliances, bathroom grout, baseboards, walls, and closet interiors. Our move-out cleaning hits every one of those. For move-ins, we go deeper into cabinet interiors and storage areas that a previous tenant likely ignored. Both services are designed for empty or mostly empty apartments, which is the only way to clean the surfaces landlords actually inspect.

Timing It With Your NYC Move
Move-out cleaning almost never happens in isolation. It’s squeezed between handing over keys, an elevator booked for two hours, and a building super watching the clock. Getting the timing right matters as much as the cleaning itself.
The Building Logistics Nobody Mentions Until Moving Day
Most NYC buildings with elevators require a Certificate of Insurance before movers, or cleaners, can even use the freight elevator. Management offices usually need it 24 to 48 hours ahead, and it’s easy to forget when there are twelve other things on a moving checklist. We can work with whatever COI requirements your building has, but it helps to loop us in on the building’s rules as early as possible rather than the morning of.
Move day itself is often tighter than people expect. Many leases turn over on the same date, which means movers are loading a truck in one unit while a cleaning crew needs access to the same space right after. Back-to-back scheduling is normal here. Landlords in walk-ups without service elevators add their own wrinkle, since supplies and equipment have to go up the stairs the same way movers are bringing boxes down.
Move-In Isn’t Just Move-Out in Reverse
A move-out clean is built around what a landlord’s inspection checklist looks for: grout, baseboards, appliance interiors, anything that affects a security deposit. A move-in clean is built around what the previous tenant left behind, which is a different problem entirely. Cabinet liners with years of residue, closet shelving nobody wiped down before the last person left, drawer tracks holding onto crumbs from a tenant who moved out two leases ago. Even a freshly painted apartment can carry that kind of leftover grime in places a landlord’s walkthrough never checks.
Booking around the actual move date, rather than the lease start or end date, tends to work best. A vacant apartment cleans faster and more thoroughly than one still half-full of boxes, so timing the clean for right after the truck leaves, and right before the next one arrives, gets the best result for everyone involved.

Most common Move In & Out Cleaning questions
Read these before booking Move In & Out Cleaning
What's included in a move-in/move-out cleaning in NYC?
Our move-out cleaning service is a top-to-bottom reset. We clean inside cabinets, drawers, appliances (oven, fridge, dishwasher), baseboards, walls, light switches, closets, and more. All surfaces are scrubbed, high-touch areas sanitized, and dust/debris fully removed. The goal: inspection-ready for landlords or spotless for new tenants moving in.
How is move-out cleaning different from deep cleaning?
Move-in/move-out cleanings focus on empty or vacant apartments and include areas skipped in occupied spaces—like cabinet interiors, behind appliances, inside closets, and empty drawers. Deep cleaning is for occupied homes targeting buildup and neglected areas. Move-out cleaning prepares apartments for lease returns and security deposit protection.
How long does a move-out cleaning take in NYC?
A one-bedroom apartment typically takes 3–5 hours. Two-bedroom apartments take 5–7 hours. Timing depends on size, condition, and level of buildup. Heavy pet hair, grease, or years of neglect may require additional time. We provide an estimate after your request based on apartment details.
Do I need to empty the apartment before move-out cleaning?
Yes. This service is designed for unfurnished or mostly vacant spaces. All cabinets, drawers, and closets should be emptied. Major furniture should be removed or cleared. We bring all supplies, tools, and equipment needed to complete the cleaning.
Will this help me get my security deposit back?
Yes. Our move-out cleaning meets NYC tenant rights standards. We address common inspection issues: grease buildup, grout stains, baseboard dust, appliance interiors, and wall marks. For security deposit rules, the NYS Division of Homes and Community Renewal publishes current standards tenants can reference.
Do you service my neighborhood for move-out cleaning?
Yes. We provide move-in and move-out cleaning across Manhattan (Upper East Side, Upper West Side, Midtown, Downtown, Hell’s Kitchen), Brooklyn (Williamsburg, Park Slope, Bushwick, DUMBO), Queens (Astoria, Long Island City, Forest Hills), the Bronx, Staten Island, and Jersey City.
Can you clean the same day I move out?
Subject to availability. Contact us directly for same-day or next-day move-out cleaning requests. We accommodate tight lease deadlines whenever possible across all five boroughs.
What if the landlord isn't satisfied after your cleaning?
We offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If your landlord flags any cleaning issues within 48 hours of our service, we’ll return to re-clean those areas at no additional charge.
