What Is a Professional Move-Out Cleaning Service?

A professional move-out cleaning service prepares the space for the next occupant, guest or landlord. The tasks usually include dusting, sweeping, mopping and wiping down surfaces. We will also take care of appliances and fixtures, from the stove to the faucets. Our goal is to return the property to its original condition before the next occupant moves in.

Easily Book Your Move-Out Cleaning Service Online

The first step to working with us is booking your move-out cleaning service, which you can easily do online. Our online platform handles the booking for all types of properties, including your home or apartment. Start by filling out basic information, such as your name, address, service needed and preferred method of contact. Next, choose your preferred date and time from the list of available dates. Finally, confirm your booking and get ready for a clean, presentable space.

Walkthrough and Decluttering of the Home

We will first walk through your home to get an idea of the job. During this time, we will discard any leftover trash from your move. At this time, we will also remove other items left behind, so we urge you to double-check as you pack your belongings. Because we need ample space to clean, we will need to declutter the space before we can get started.

We Provide Whole-Space Cleaning for Every Room

Our checklist includes a whole-space cleaning for every room of the home. The first task is dusting the ceiling fans, vents and light fixtures. These are areas you may not have been able to reach during your own cleaning, but we have tools that allow us to access them easily. We will also wipe down frequently-touched areas, including the doors, door frames, doorknobs, light switches and baseboards. When it’s time to clean the windows, we will include the sills, frames and, if applicable, blinds. Our team also dusts the walls to remove minor marks and surface grime, leaving every space of the home presentable.

Our Kitchen Move-Out Cleaning Checklist

The kitchen is the heart of the home, and you want to leave it clean for the next person. You can count on Nest and Neat Home Services in Wilmington to give your kitchen the cleaning it deserves. First, we wipe down the cabinet fronts and handles. Next, we use a basic cleaner to clean the sink, faucet, countertops and backsplash. We will wipe down the exteriors of any appliances, including the microwave, stove, dishwasher, and refrigerator, and if the interiors are dirty, we’ll take care of those, too. We want to ensure the next occupant has a clean, functional kitchen.

Our Bathroom Move-Out Cleaning Checklist

Cleaning the bathroom can add to the stress of moving, so we take care of that for you, too. We start by wiping down the sinks, faucets, and countertops to ensure they are clean and sanitary. Then we will wipe down the shower and bathtub walls to ensure they shine. We clean the exterior of the toilet and wipe down the mirror and other reflective surfaces so that your bathroom looks great from all angles. It will be clean, fresh, and sanitary for the next inhabitant.

We’ll Also Clean Other Areas of the Home

Our move-out cleaning services are not limited to the kitchen or bathroom. While these are frequently used spaces and therefore worthy of a lot of our focused attention, we know other parts of the home need a good cleaning as well. Remember, we want to ensure the entire home or apartment is presentable enough for the next occupant or your landlord. When you hire our cleaning service in Wilmington, you can expect us to clean the following spaces:

  • Living areas
  • Bedrooms
  • Hallways
  • Closets

We’ll dust the horizontal surfaces in each of these spaces, including the window sills, shelves and vents. These areas are often forgotten about or out of reach. We will never leave behind a mirror full of dust or smudges but instead wipe the mirrors and leave them shining and brilliant. High-touch surfaces like doors, doorknobs, light switches, handles, and baseboards get the attention they deserve to stay clean, safe, and sanitary. Our team also sweeps or vacuums the floors, depending on the type of flooring in each space, and we will mop as recommended for each flooring, from tile to hardwood.

We’ll Perform a Final Inspection of the Home

Once we are finished cleaning, we will do a final walkthrough of the home to ensure we did not miss a spot. We’ll also ensure every area has been cleaned properly, leaving behind a presentable space for the next person. You can rest assured that our team takes care of missed spots and makes necessary improvements before leaving.
