Pricing

How much does move-out cleaning cost in Polk County?

A typical move-in/out clean runs about $325. We bill $95 per hour for a two-cleaner crew, so the total depends on the home's size and condition. For comparison, from our own completed-job data across Central Florida: a standard clean has a median of $136 (typically $114 to $162), a deep clean is $268 (typically $200 to $356), a vacation-rental turnover averages $161, and a post-construction builder final runs about $749 median. Full breakdown in our study: how much house cleaning costs in Central Florida.

Timing

How long does a move-out clean take?

About 3.5 hours for a typical home with a two-cleaner crew. That's longer than a standard clean (~91 minutes) and a bit more than a deep clean (~3 hours), because we're detailing the insides of cabinets and appliances. See the data: how long house cleaning takes. Empty homes clean faster and cheaper, so book us after the truck leaves and before the walkthrough if you can.

Frequency

How often should you book a move-out clean?

Once per move, timed between your last box out and your final walkthrough or closing. Landlords, property managers, and realtors book us per turnover; if you flip units regularly across Polk County, ask about a standing arrangement so each vacancy is rent-ready on a schedule.

FAQ

Move-in and move-out cleaning: frequently asked questions

Will a move-out clean help at my final walkthrough?

We can't speak for your landlord, but our move-out cleans are built to property-manager standards. Many of our customers do get full deposits back.

Do you handle move-ins for new construction?

Yes. We also do dedicated post-construction cleans (dust, debris, sticker removal, paint specks). Ask about that service if your new home is brand-new.

Can you clean before the moving truck arrives?

Yes, and we usually recommend it. An empty home cleans faster, more thoroughly, and at a lower cost. See what a move-out clean costs in Central Florida, based on our completed-job data.

What's included in a move-out clean?

Everything top to bottom. Inside all the cabinets and drawers, inside the oven, microwave, fridge, and dishwasher, baseboards and door frames, window sills and tracks, the bathrooms detailed down to the grout, and the floors mopped and hand-detailed at the edges. The goal is a place that looks ready for the next person.

Do you clean inside the cabinets and appliances?

Yes. On a move clean that's the whole point. We wipe out the insides of every cabinet and drawer and clean inside the oven, microwave, refrigerator, and dishwasher, not just the fronts. It's a big part of what gets a place inspection-ready.

How soon can you come if my closing date is tight?

Tell us your date and we'll do our best to fit it in. We work around closing and move-out deadlines all the time, so the sooner you call the better chance we have to lock in the day you need. Call 863-324-2000 and we'll tell you straight what's open.

Do you do turnovers for landlords and realtors?

We do, regularly. We clean rental turnovers and listing-prep cleans for landlords, property managers, and agents across Polk County. Hand us a key or lockbox code and we'll have the unit ready to show or rent. If you turn over units often, ask us about setting up a standing arrangement.

Will this help at my final walkthrough?

We can't promise what a landlord will decide, but our move-out cleans are built to the standard property managers look for, and many of our customers tell us it helped at their walkthrough. Deposit decisions are up to your landlord and lease, so we can't promise an outcome. If something's missed and you let us know within 24 hours, we'll come back and re-clean it at no charge.

Furniture or clutter that has to go before the clean? We also do junk removal and cleanouts, so one crew can empty the place and clean it.
