What is move-in / move-out cleaning?
A move-in or move-out cleaning is a deep clean of an empty home that also covers the inside of every cabinet, drawer, closet and appliance, so the home is ready for a landlord inspection, a buyer's walk-through or a new occupant. Move-In / Move-Out Cleaning from Palm Beach Clean Pro takes 4 to 7 hours and is best for renters, sellers, landlords and new owners. It starts at $174, with supplies, equipment and insurance included. Every visit follows a written checklist and is done by a vetted, insured cleaner in Palm Beach County.
With the furniture gone, every surface is visible, and that is exactly what a landlord, property manager or buyer inspects. A move-out clean is priced for an empty home and done after the movers leave. It is the clean most likely to decide whether a tenant gets a full deposit back, and the one sellers use so buyers walk into a clean, empty house at the final walk-through.

Move-In / Move-Out Cleaning in Palm Beach County: what's different
Florida deposit timelines
Florida law gives landlords a short window after move-out to return a deposit or send written notice of a claim. A clean before the walk-through removes the most common cleaning deductions.
Sand in sliding-door tracks
One of the most common Florida move-out complaints. Tracks are cleared and wiped on every move-out clean.
Condo association move rules
Many condos require elevator reservations or notice for moves. Book the cleaning day inside the same reservation if your building requires it.
Seasonal end-of-lease rush
Lease turnovers cluster at month-end and when the season ends in spring. Book one to two weeks ahead.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Booking before the movers have finished, so cabinets and closets can't be cleaned
- Turning off water or power before the clean
- Expecting cleaning to fix damage beyond normal wear and tear
- Forgetting the fridge: food left behind is one of the most common deductions
How to prepare
- Empty every cabinet, drawer, closet and the fridge
- Keep water and power on through the cleaning day
- Remove trash and personal items; we clean, we don't haul
- Tell us about damage you already know of so expectations are clear
- Leave access details: key, lockbox, gate or front desk
