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

Tell us the home's size and your move-in timing. The ideal window is after the previous occupant is out and before your movers arrive, while the space is empty — book us in that gap and we'll have it ready for you.

Our team treats an empty home like a deep clean with full access. We work top to bottom, inside and out — cabinets, closets, appliances, fixtures, floors — so every surface you'll touch is sanitized before your belongings come in.

We finish with a walkthrough so you can see the home is move-in ready. If your move-out from your old place also needs cleaning, we handle both ends — a clean exit and a clean arrival.

What to expect

Customer-focused from start to finish

A move-in cleaning prepares an empty home before your furniture and life arrive — the one chance to clean everything while the space is completely clear. We sanitize the home top to bottom so you start fresh, without inheriting the previous occupant's dust, grime, or residue.

With nothing in the way, we reach what's normally blocked: inside cabinets and drawers, the backs of closets, behind where appliances sit, baseboards, and every floor edge. Kitchens and bathrooms get deep attention — sanitized counters, scrubbed showers, descaled fixtures, and wiped-out cabinetry ready for your things.

You move into a genuinely clean home — surfaces sanitized, floors spotless, cabinets ready to fill. Doing this before you unpack means you never have to clean around boxes and furniture later, and your new home feels truly yours from day one.

🛡️
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.

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.

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.
