Why Clean Before You Move In?
Moving is the perfect — and maybe only — time to get your new home truly clean. Once your furniture, boxes, and belongings are in place, you'll never see those baseboards again. The floor under where your couch will sit? Covered indefinitely.
Right now, while the home is empty, is your one chance to clean every surface before it gets occupied. The floors can be mopped without navigating furniture. The closets can be wiped without removing clothes. The kitchen can be deep cleaned without working around your dishes.
And let's be honest — no matter what the previous owner or tenant claims, there's always something left behind. Dust in the vents. Hair in the bathroom drains. Grease on the range hood. A professional move-in clean eliminates all of that, so you unpack into a space that's actually clean.

When to Book Move-In Cleaning
1After Closing/Lease Starts, Before Movers Arrive
The ideal timing. You get the keys to your new home, we come in and clean, and your moving day starts with a fresh space. Schedule us for the day after you get keys.
2During Lease Overlap
If you have access to your new place before your official move-in date, book us for that window. Your first night will be in a truly clean space.
3Between Tenants
Taking over a lease or moving into a place that was just vacated? Don't trust the outgoing tenant's cleaning. Let us make it actually clean.
4New Construction
Builders clean for appearance, not livability. New construction leaves behind dust in the vents, paint overspray, construction debris. Our post-construction cleaning handles all of that.
5Same-Week or Last Minute
Moving timelines shift — we get it. We often have same-week availability. Give us a call and we'll do our best to fit you in.

Move-In Cleaning Prices in Grand Rapids
Move-in cleaning is priced as a deep clean since we're working through an entire empty home. The good news: empty spaces are easier to clean thoroughly, so costs are comparable to a deep clean of an occupied space.
| Home Size | Bedrooms/Baths | Price Range |
|---|---|---|
| Studio Apartment | 0 BR / 1 BA | $180 – $240 |
| 1 BR Apartment | 1 BR / 1 BA | $220 – $300 |
| 2 BR Apartment | 2 BR / 1 BA | $280 – $380 |
| 3+ BR Apartment/House | 3+ BR / 2+ BA | $380 – $500+ |
New construction cleaning may cost more due to additional detail work. Final pricing depends on home size and condition.
