Move-Out Cleaning

Do you offer a deposit-back guarantee for move-out cleaning?

Yes! Our move-out cleaning includes a deposit-back guarantee. If your landlord deducts cleaning costs from your security deposit after our service, we'll return and re-clean the property at no additional charge. We follow landlord checklists and document our work.

How much does move-out cleaning cost in Seattle?

Move-out cleaning is $119.99 per hour with a 2-hour minimum. Most apartments take 2-4 hours, and larger homes may take 4-6 hours. The exact time depends on the property's size and condition. We can provide an estimate after you share details about your space.

What should I do before move-out cleaning?

Remove all personal belongings, furniture, and items from the property before we arrive. The space should be completely empty. If you have your landlord's cleaning checklist, share it with us so we can ensure everything on their list is addressed.

What about pets?

We love pets! Just let us know if you have pets so our team can be prepared. We recommend securing pets in a safe area during cleaning for their comfort and safety. Our eco-friendly products are pet-safe.
