Whatever the handoff
- SellingBefore photos, the walkthrough, or closing
- Moving inBefore the boxes and furniture land
- Rental turnoverBefore the next tenant, and the deposit call
- A family homeA quiet final clean once it’s empty
What you get
Nothing is hiding behind furniture.
- Doors, frames, trim and baseboards washed by hand — washed, not dusted
- Kitchen dried by hand — counters, backsplash, sink and fixtures, so there’s no water film left behind
- Bathrooms — soap scum off the shower walls and door glass, the track cleared, under and behind the toilet
- The small things people notice — switch plates, handles, stair rails and spindles, cobwebs down
- Floors last — sealed-HEPA vacuum, then mopped into the corners and edges, wall to wall
Not included: hauling, carpet shampooing, mold remediation. Anything being left behind has to be gone before the team arrives.
What most people add
- Inside cabinets and drawers — shelves and the floor along the back wall
- Inside the refrigerator — shelves, bins, door gaskets
- Inside the oven — door glass included
- Interior windows within reach of a two-step ladder
- Marks around switch plates and door frames spot-cleaned
Add-ons are priced separately and need at least one business day’s notice — they can’t be added the morning of.
The deposit question
Will it pass the walkthrough?
Nobody can promise what a landlord or a buyer decides — anyone who says otherwise is guessing. Here’s what our 100% Cleaning Guarantee actually gets you:
- Cleaned to the standard most deposit checklists are written against
- An itemized invoice you can forward with the keys
- Two business days to tell us if something gets flagged — re-cleaned free
- Still not right, and it’s our fault? You get your money back

Nothing is booked until you know what it costs.
You don’t have to be there
Lockbox, your agent, or a key with a neighbor. We lock up behind us and text you when it’s ready to show.
- Book it after the movers, ideally a day or two before your deadline — moves slip, and moving a clean is easy.
- Water and electricity have to still be on. Ask the utility to hold service until the day after.
- One cleaner for a smaller home, two for a bigger one — one day, not two.

They had a deadline too
“Our landlords will be thrilled.”
I am SO relieved. I was overwhelmed and way behind and she was amazing. She was professional and able to get everything done on my list. This house is in better shape than when we moved in! Our landlords will be thrilled with everything and we can resign our lease. You saved us!

Before you call
Five things people ask.
The questions that come up most on a move — answered before you pick up the phone.
More on each side of the move: what a move-in clean covers, move-out cleaning across the northwest suburbs, and move-out cleaning in Barrington.
Is the refrigerator or oven included?
No — both are add-ons, and they’re the two doors most people add. Tell us at least a business day ahead; they can’t be added the morning of.
Do I need to be there?
No, and most people aren’t. Lockbox code, your agent, or a key left with a neighbor all work. We lock up and let you know when the house is ready to show.
Does it have to be completely empty?
Empty is where the value is, and it’s what the estimate assumes. If a few pieces are staying, say so on the call and it gets planned around.
Will you take the trash or clean the carpets?
Neither. Anything left behind needs to be gone before the team arrives, and carpet shampooing and extraction are handled separately.
Is this the same as a deep clean?
The difference is furniture. Empty house against a date — this page. Living in it, furnished — that’s a deep clean.
Ready for an exact number?
