The Move-Out Cleaning Checklist

Start with the priorities

An empty property is easier to clean thoroughly. Plan the work after moving and maintenance are complete.

• Confirm the lease requirements; cleaning cannot guarantee a deposit refund.
• Agree on appliance and cabinet interiors before the visit.
• Work from high surfaces to low, finishing floors last.

Plan before you clean

Check product labels and surface-care instructions. Never mix cleaning products, and test an appropriate cleaner in an inconspicuous spot before use.

If hiring a provider, agree on tasks, access, timing and pricing first. Clearhaven Cleaning is a fictional portfolio demonstration and does not take bookings.
