Move-Out Cleaning That Gets Your Deposit Back
Let's be real: when you're moving out, cleaning is the last thing you want to deal with. You're packing boxes, coordinating movers, dealing with first and last month's rent at your new place. Somewhere in there, you're supposed to make your rental sparkle?
That's where we come in. Our move-out cleaning service is specifically designed for Portland renters who need to pass that final walk-through. We know what landlords and management companies look for—because we've done this thousands of times.
The oven that always gets checked? We clean inside it. The baseboards nobody notices until move-out? We wipe every one. The grout in the bathroom? Scrubbed. We're not just cleaning your old place—we're protecting your deposit and eliminating one huge stressor from your moving checklist.

2Same-Day as Move-Out
Moving and need us that same day? We can often accommodate tight timelines. You move out in the morning, we clean in the afternoon, inspection happens after.

Move-Out Cleaning FAQs
Ideally, give us a week's notice. We can often accommodate shorter timelines, but end-of-month dates book quickly. Once you know your move-out date, reach out.
The more that's moved out, the better we can clean. We can work around some remaining items if your timeline is tight, but an empty space lets us reach every surface.
Our service includes vacuuming, but professional carpet shampooing is separate. If your lease requires carpet cleaning, let us know and we can recommend providers or arrange it alongside our cleaning.
We spot-clean scuffs and marks. If your walls need repainting or have significant damage, that's beyond cleaning scope—but basic spots, we handle.
Call us immediately. Depending on availability, we may be able to come back that same day to address concerns.
