Move-In Cleaning · San Juan Capistrano
Closing on an SJC home is its own marathon — escrow, inspections, the back-and-forth on Spanish-revival mandate compliance, and the equestrian-property well-water and barn-condition reports if applicable. The last thing you want to do is unpack into a kitchen with the previous owner’s grease in the cabinets and a bathroom full of someone else’s shower-glass mineral residue. Our move-in cleaning gives you a sanitized, ready home before you carry the first box across the threshold.
We handle Capistrano Royale and Whispering Hills new-construction with the drywall dust and adhesive residue builders leave behind. Mission Hills equestrian-property move-ins get the white-glove treatment plus tack-room and mudroom prep. Move-in cleaning focuses on preparing an empty home before belongings arrive. Inside the oven, inside the refrigerator, inside cabinets and drawers, and interior window cleaning are optional paid add-ons, selected and priced separately before the visit.
Most SJC move-ins book the day before key handover or the morning of. We coordinate with your moving company, Realtor, or escrow officer. Apartment and condo move-ins typically run $300–$450; estate move-ins run $700–$1,800 depending on size, condition, and equestrian-zone scope.

“The cleaners arrived exactly on time. He was very careful and did an excellent job. Price was exactly as estimated.”

“Thank you Art's cleaning services for a wonderful job and excellent communication. You helped me out with a late request and accommodated a cleaning on a Sunday when nobody else was available. This was a gift for my sister and you communicated with the crew not to discuss pricing or give bill to my sister. Gulmira's team came out on time and did an amazing job. My sister said they cleaned beautifully and products smelled good. Arts Cleaning services did as promised, were on time and the cleaning crew were professional, reliable and cleaned so well. Definitely recommend Art's Cleaning services- they get 5 stars for sure!!”
