Move-In / Move-Out
Moving is stressful enough without scrubbing an empty house on your last day with the keys. Cleandora Services handles move-in and move-out cleaning across the Greater Seattle Area — the deep, empty-home clean that helps renters get their deposits back, lets landlords and property managers turn units fast, and gives homebuyers a genuinely fresh start. We're licensed, insured, and locally owned, and every job comes with a transparent flat-rate quote starting at $45/hour, with no hidden fees and no commitment required.
A move-out clean is more thorough than a regular deep clean because the home is empty — which means every surface is exposed, and every mark left behind is visible to a landlord or new owner. We clean what furniture and daily life normally hide:
Kitchen
Bathrooms
Throughout the home
Because the home is empty, our team can reach the spots that are impossible during everyday cleaning — and those are exactly the spots that decide whether a deposit comes back in full.
In Washington, a landlord can deduct from your deposit for cleaning beyond normal wear and tear. The most common deductions are for greasy ovens, soap-scummed showers, dirty baseboards, and floors that weren't properly cleaned — all things a professional move-out clean handles directly.
A documented, professional clean gives you a strong position: the unit is returned in genuinely clean condition, and you have a record of it. We focus on the exact areas landlords inspect, so the place is handed over move-in ready for the next tenant. For a complete room-by-room walkthrough you can follow yourself, see our move-out cleaning checklist.
Yes — turnover cleaning is a core part of what we do. For landlords and property managers, a fast, reliable clean between tenants means a unit that's ready to show and lease without delay. For short-term rental and Airbnb hosts, a consistent empty-home clean keeps reviews high and bookings smooth.
We can coordinate around your turnover timeline, and because every quote is flat-rate, you'll know your per-turn cost up front for budgeting across multiple units. If a unit needs more than a turnover — say, after a long tenancy or before listing — our deep cleaning service goes even further on built-up grime.
Absolutely. A home may look clean at closing, but you rarely know how the previous owners actually lived — or what's hiding inside cabinets, behind appliances, and in bathroom grout. A move-in clean lets you start in a space that's sanitized and genuinely fresh before your furniture arrives and the boxes go up. It's far easier to clean an empty home thoroughly than one that's already full, which is exactly why move-in is the right time to do it.
Empty-home cleans are detailed, so plan for:
Timing depends on the home's condition, the number of bathrooms, and whether the previous occupant left it reasonably maintained or heavily soiled. We confirm the expected time when we quote your specific property.
Pricing starts at $45/hour and is quoted as a transparent flat rate, so you know the full cost before we begin — no hourly surprises and no hidden fees. The price reflects home size, condition, number of bathrooms, and any extras. Weighed against the deposit you stand to recover or the rental income a fast turnover protects, a professional move-out clean usually pays for itself.

Will a move-out clean guarantee I get my full deposit back? No cleaning company can guarantee a landlord's decision, but a professional move-out clean directly addresses the most common reasons deposits are reduced — ovens, showers, baseboards, and floors. Returning the unit in genuinely clean, move-in-ready condition gives you the strongest possible position.
What's the difference between a move-out clean and a deep clean? Both are detailed, but a move-out clean is done on an empty home, so it reaches inside every cabinet, behind every appliance, and along every wall and baseboard. A deep clean is performed in a furnished, lived-in home. If your rental is empty, move-out cleaning is the right service.
How much does move-out cleaning cost? Pricing starts at $45/hour, quoted as a flat rate so you know the total before we start. The final price depends on home size, condition, and number of bathrooms. Use our free 20-second estimate for an exact, no-obligation number.
Do you bring your own cleaning supplies? Yes. Our team arrives fully equipped with professional products and equipment. If a landlord requires specific products, or you'd prefer your own, just let us know when booking.
Can you handle rental turnovers on a tight timeline? Yes. We regularly work with landlords, property managers, and short-term rental hosts who need units cleaned quickly between tenants. Tell us your turnover window when you request a quote and we'll plan around it.
