What is move-in cleaning?

Your new home, truly clean before you unpack

You don't know what the previous tenant left behind. Even if the unit looks clean, grime hides in grout lines, inside cabinets, and on appliance surfaces. A move-in cleaning resets everything — so you start your new chapter in a home that's actually clean. Trusted by property managers in Irvine, Aliso Viejo, Rancho Santa Margarita, and throughout Orange County.

We deep clean every surface plus the extras you need when moving in: inside the fridge, inside the oven, inside all cabinets, and interior windows. You shouldn't have to store your food and clothes where someone else's crumbs and dust still live.

Our process

Complete transparency — no surprises

We believe you deserve to know exactly what you're paying for. Before your move-in cleaning appointment, we provide a thorough breakdown of what's included. Our detailed checklist (below) shows every task we'll complete — no ambiguity, no hidden extras.

During the cleaning, our team works methodically room by room. If you need additional services like inside fridge, inside oven, or interior windows — those are available as extras. We communicate clearly and you're always in control. We never add charges without your approval.

After we finish, we invite you to walk through your home with our team. We want you to see the difference and ask questions. Your satisfaction isn't a goal — it's our standard.

What to expect

Customer-focused from start to finish

Scheduling a move-in cleaning should be easy. Contact us by phone or online, and we'll discuss your home's specific needs. How long has it been since your last professional cleaning? Are there particular areas of concern? Do you have pets or product preferences? We listen carefully to tailor our approach.

On service day, our team arrives on time with all necessary supplies and professional-grade equipment. We respect your home — wearing shoe covers, protecting furniture, and treating your belongings with care. We bring our own eco-friendly products unless you have specific preferences.

You're welcome to remain home, step out, or work from another room. Many clients use move-in cleaning days as a chance to run errands — returning to a transformed space.

🛡️
Our training & standards

Every Art's cleaner undergoes extensive training in our move-in cleaning protocol. They understand the proper techniques for different surfaces — how to safely clean natural stone versus tile, how to address stainless steel without streaks, how to remove mineral buildup without damaging finishes.

We're fully insured and bonded, and every team member has passed thorough background checks. When you trust us with your home, you can have confidence that our team is professional, reliable, and committed to excellence.

What clients say about our move-in cleaning

Move-In CleaningNorthwood

My house was SO dusty from construction nearby. I asked for a deep clean and they were insanely thorough — every grout line, ceiling fans, mildew in the shower. House feels brand new.

S
Sarah M.
Move-In + Move-OutWoodbridge

They spent 6 hours scrubbing everything. Floors, windows, tracks, blinds, oven, cabinets, baseboards, chandelier. Every surface was touched. Got our full deposit back.

J

Move-In CleaningQuail Hill

I've tried other services but nobody compares. The checklist is real — they scrubbed every grout line, treated all the mildew, cleaned every door frame and switch plate.

E

First-Time DeepTurtle Rock

We booked a move-in cleaning before starting their recurring service. Night and day difference. Now the bi-weekly maintenance keeps everything at that level.
