Questions about move-in clean in DC?
How long does a move-in clean typically take?
For a standard DC apartment or home, plan on 3 to 5 hours depending on square footage and how much dust and debris are left behind. A 1-bedroom usually takes 3 hours. A 3-bedroom closer to 5. Our cleaning team will vacuum or mop floors, clean bathrooms, wipe down baseboards, sanitize sinks and fixtures, and tackle dust on shelves and surfaces. We bring their own cleaning supplies and products, so you don't have to worry about that. Once we're done, your new home will be sparkling clean and ready for you to unpack and get settled.
Can I book a move-in cleaning service same-day?
We do our best to accommodate same-day requests, especially if you call early in the morning. DC's moving day schedule can be unpredictable, so availability depends on our current cleaning job load. That said, we're happy to work with your timeline. Call ahead if you can, but we understand sometimes you don't have time to plan ahead. We'll let you know right away whether we can get a cleaner to your place the same day or the next morning.
How is move-in cleaning different from a standard deep clean?
A move-in clean focuses on getting your new home ready to live in right now. We hit the high-traffic areas, sanitize everything, and make sure dust and debris from construction or the previous tenant are gone. A deep clean is more about maintaining a home you're already living in, usually on a monthly or recurring basis. Move-in cleaning is typically more thorough on baseboards, inside cabinets, and behind appliances because we're starting fresh. Whether you need move-in and move-out cleaning or just a one-time refresh before you settle in, our house cleaning services are ready to help.
