Deep cleaning and move-in / move-out service in Portland — get your deposit back, start fresh

A tenant trying to get their security deposit back or a new homeowner who wants a fresh start before moving in needs every surface — baseboards, oven interior, refrigerator, grout lines, cabinet interiors, window sills — professionally cleaned in a single visit, often within 24-48 hours of move date.

Deep clean scope goes beyond standard recurring: all baseboards, door frames, window sills and tracks, light switch plates, cabinet interiors, refrigerator interior, oven interior, range hood, bathroom grout scrubbing, and under furniture and appliance edges. Most deep cleans take 4-8 hours depending on home size and condition.

For move-out cleans we follow a condition-neutral protocol — the property is cleaned to landlord or property manager specification with before-and-after photo documentation available on request. Move-in cleans emphasize sanitization and fresh-start preparation — interior of all storage areas, closet shelves, and built-ins cleaned before new occupants arrive.

What's included

  • All baseboards, door frames, window sills + tracks cleaned
  • Oven interior + refrigerator interior + range hood
  • Cabinet interiors and drawer wipe-down
  • Bathroom grout scrubbing + fixture polish
  • Light switch plates + door handles sanitized
  • Before-and-after photo documentation (move-out option)

Deep Cleaning & Move-In / Move-Out — common questions

Will I get my security deposit back?
We clean to professional move-out standard which exceeds typical lease requirements. We cannot guarantee any specific landlord decision (some landlords find issues regardless), but our photo documentation typically resolves any dispute in the tenant's favor. We have helped recover thousands in security deposits.
How long does a deep clean take?
A 2-bed/1-bath deep clean takes 4-5 hours with a 2-person crew. 3-bed/2-bath takes 5-6 hours. 4-bed/2-bath or larger takes 6-8 hours, often with a 3-person crew. We give a firm ETA at the time of booking based on home details captured at intake.
Should I be home during the deep clean?
Not required — most customers leave for the duration. We coordinate gate codes, alarm codes, and key handoffs at booking. For move-out cleans, we typically work after the moving truck has left and before the landlord walkthrough. Anna captures these timing details on the intake call.
Can you handle move-in cleans before furniture arrives?
Yes — empty-home deep cleans are actually faster than occupied-home deep cleans because we can clean everywhere without working around furniture and personal items. Schedule between your closing date and your move-in date for the cleanest result.
