Timing matters when it comes to move out cleaning. Here are the best moments to schedule service for a smooth and successful transition:
After all furniture and personal belongings have been fully removed
Before the final property walkthrough or landlord inspection
A few days before your lease officially ends
Once all painting or repair work has been completed
Prior to listing the home for sale or showing
After utility disconnection dates have been confirmed but before shutoff
When move-out dates shift and you need last-minute cleaning support
