What Our Move-In Cleaning Includes
Our Louisville move-in cleaning goes far deeper than a standard house cleaning. Because the home is empty, our team has full access to every surface, cabinet, and corner -- areas that would normally be blocked by furniture and belongings. This is your one chance to start with a truly clean slate, and we make the most of it.
We clean inside every cabinet, drawer, and closet throughout the entire home. Kitchen cabinets are wiped down inside and out, and all shelving is cleaned before you stock your dishes and pantry items. The refrigerator, oven, microwave, and dishwasher are cleaned inside and out to remove any residue, odors, or buildup left by previous occupants. Countertops, backsplashes, and sinks are thoroughly scrubbed and sanitized.
In the bathrooms, toilets are disinfected inside and out, showers and tubs are scrubbed to remove soap scum and mineral deposits, mirrors are polished, and vanity surfaces are sanitized. All floors throughout the home are vacuumed and mopped, including inside closets and utility areas. Windows, sills, and tracks are cleaned, light fixtures and ceiling fans are dusted, and every baseboard, door frame, and switch plate in the home is wiped down.
When to Schedule Your Move-In Cleaning
Timing is everything when it comes to move-in cleaning. The ideal window is after you receive your keys but before the moving truck arrives with your furniture and boxes. With the home completely empty, our team can access every corner, cabinet, and surface without working around obstacles. This approach delivers the most thorough results and saves time compared to cleaning around stacked boxes and furniture.
For buyers closing on a home in Louisville, we recommend scheduling your move-in cleaning on closing day or the day after, before you begin moving items in. For renters, coordinate with your new landlord to arrange access a day or two before your official move-in date. If you are on a tight timeline and need everything done in one day, we can accommodate same-day or next-day bookings when availability allows.
Louisville's busiest moving periods tend to be the end of each month and the summer season from May through September. During these peak times, we recommend booking your move-in cleaning at least a week in advance to secure your preferred date and time. During slower periods, we can often accommodate requests within just a few days.
