Why Move Cleaning Matters
Moving is already stressful enough without adding a deep clean on top of it. But here's the reality: a proper move-out clean can save you hundreds of dollars on your security deposit, and a move-in clean means you're not living in someone else's dust and grime.
In the Coulee Dam, Grand Coulee, and Electric City area, rental turnover is common — especially around Grand Coulee Dam workforce housing and seasonal properties. Whether you're a tenant trying to get your deposit back or a landlord preparing a unit, a professional move clean is the most cost-effective way to handle it.
What's Included in a Move-Out Clean
A move-out clean goes well beyond a standard cleaning. The goal is to return the property to a condition that satisfies the landlord's walkthrough inspection.
Kitchen
- Clean inside oven, broiler, and all oven racks
- Clean inside refrigerator and freezer (shelves, drawers, door seals)
- Clean inside dishwasher and microwave
- Scrub countertops, backsplash, and sink (descale hard water deposits)
- Wipe all cabinet fronts, inside and out
- Clean range hood and exhaust fan
- Mop and scrub floors, including under where appliances sit
Bathrooms
- Scrub and sanitize toilet, tub/shower, and sink
- Clean tile grout and remove any mildew
- Descale showerheads, faucets, and fixtures
- Clean mirrors, medicine cabinet, and vanity
- Clean exhaust fan and light fixtures
- Scrub floors including behind toilet
All Rooms
- Vacuum all floors and carpets (including closets)
- Mop all hard floors
- Wipe all baseboards, door frames, and light switches
- Clean interior windows and window sills
- Clean ceiling fans and light fixtures
- Wipe closet shelves and rods
- Remove cobwebs from corners and ceilings
Take photos of the clean property before your walkthrough. Most deposit disputes come down to "he said, she said" about the condition. Timestamped photos of a professionally cleaned unit protect you.
