Move Into a Home You Actually Know Is Clean
You have signed the lease or closed on your new Portland home. The keys are in your hand. But before you start unpacking boxes, there is one thing worth considering: do you really know how clean this place is? Even if the previous occupant had a move-out cleaning done, you do not know who did it or how thorough they were. And if you are buying, the cleaning situation is even more uncertain.
Our Portland move-in cleaning gives you the fresh start you deserve in your new home. We clean the entire space before your belongings arrive — every cabinet interior where you will store dishes, every bathroom surface you will use daily, every closet where you will hang clothes. You unpack into a home you know is genuinely clean, not just clean enough.
For Portland renters, a move-in cleaning also creates documentation. If you photograph the clean space after we finish, you have evidence of the condition when you took possession. This can protect you when you eventually move out and need to prove you maintained the property properly.
We clean throughout Portland — apartments in the Pearl and Northwest, rental homes in Southeast and North Portland, condos in the South Waterfront and downtown, houses in every neighborhood. Whether you are moving across town or relocating to Portland from out of state, we prepare your new space before you settle in.
The ideal time for move-in cleaning is after you have access but before your furniture arrives. An empty home means we can reach everything — inside every cabinet, behind where appliances will go, every corner of every closet. If timing is tight, we can work around a partial move, but empty is best.

When to Schedule Your Portland Move-In Cleaning
1Between Closing/Lease Start and Move-In
The ideal time to schedule a move-in cleaning is between your lease or closing date and your actual move-in date. This gives us full access to the empty space to reach every surface and cabinet.
2Partial Move-In
If that window is tight, we can also work around a partial move — just let us know what areas you need prioritized.
3Before Unpacking
If boxes have arrived but you have not unpacked yet, we can still clean around them. The more accessible the space, the more thorough we can be.

Move-In Cleaning FAQs for Portland Residents
Surface clean and actually clean are different things. Previous occupants lived there — inside cabinets, bathroom corners, behind appliances — buildup exists even if you cannot see it. Move-in cleaning addresses everything.
Ideally between getting keys and moving furniture in. If you close on a Friday and move Saturday, schedule us for Friday. The more empty the space, the more thorough we can be.

We handle it. Whether the home needs light cleaning or serious work, we assess the situation and clean it properly. Very dirty homes may require additional time — we will let you know.
Typically 4-6 hours depending on size and condition. We send enough team members to complete the work efficiently so your space is ready when you need it.
