When should you order a deep cleaning service for move-ins and move-outs?

When you are moving in to a new place or moving out of your leased apartment, you should consider a deep cleaning service for move-ins and move-outs.

Virtually every time you rent a place, you are required to hand a security deposit. To get it back, you need to return the apartment in a good shape. When the move-out time approaches, your life invariably gets busier, and you may not have enough time to properly clean your place before leaving. This may result in a loss of your security deposit. You can easily avoid it by scheduling a move-out cleaning service a day before your move-out date.

Moving-in to a new home is a time full of excitement and hectic planning. You need to take care of moving your belongings, signing the utility contracts, and very often registering with the local authorities. It can be quite exhausting and overwhelming. Besides, after unpacking all the boxes with your stuff, it may look like your apartment is just going through a dust storm. Few people have enough energy left to still clean their home at that point. Luckily, you don't have to take everything on your shoulders! Book an experienced cleaning person with us, and take a rest you deserve after the relocation hassle!

You can also book a deep cleaning service for move-ins, even if you don't change the apartments, but have some renovation done at your place. An after-builders cleaning upgrade can be added to the deep cleaning service at no extra cost. We will match you with a cleaning person who can help you put in the final touches to your renovation work.

Trusted move-in/move-out cleaning services

"I took advantage of such cleaning services for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. I think my house has never been so clean! Besides, I had some concerns about letting a stranger in my house, but the cleaner was very nice and knew good English, there was no discomfort at all! Thank you for your service. I am sure that I will book with you again!"

Yazmin C.

"Over the years I've hired multiple cleaning people for my apartment. Some did a better job, some worse. Most of them unfortunately were not reliable. Last minute cancellations were a norm rather than the exception. The frequency with which good cleaning people quit the cleaning industry is something that puzzles me to this day. Every few weeks I had too look for another cleaner. I got tired of it one day, and decided to book a cleaning with SPIC AND SPAN. Home & Office Cleaning. The quality of the service is good, but what's more important to me is that they handle all the communication with cleaning people, and are able to find a substitute in case my regular cleaning person is not able to do the scheduled cleaning."

"I am absolutely satisfied with the cleaning services of SPIC AND SPAN. Home & Office Cleaning. As promised, all of the cleaned areas are spotlessly clean and I am positively surprised with the attention to detail. I particularly enjoy the feeling of coming to the clean kitchen."

Laura C.

Germany

"Ordered the deep cleaning package for my 2-room apartment. I was satisfied with the work done - clean, neat, fast, high quality. I have used other companies previously with similar packages and can confirm that SPIC AND SPAN have managed to do a much better job. The cleaner was sociable, pleasant and attentive to details. All my requests and wishes were taken into account during cleaning. I subscribed to the regular cleaning. Thank you!"

Emma L.

Belgium

"The cleaner arrived at the appointed time, got familiar with the volume and started to clean up. A very interesting approach: first a vacuum cleaner, then a duster... In response to my question, she explained that this way the dust still flies out of the vacuum cleaner, and then she cleans it with a wet cloth!) Cleaning took around 3 hours, everything shines, sparkles and feels clean. Overall happy with the service. Thank you!"

Aleksander Z.

Poland

"I manage a large portfolio of serviced apartments in a few cities across Europe. Occasionally, we have a sudden spike in checkouts, and need to handle 50+ apartments being vacated on a single single day. Our full-time cleaning staff is simply not able to handle that volume of move-outs at once. During such busy periods SPIC AND SPAN. Home & Office Cleaning reliably comes to rescue us. We are able to schedule a cleaning service for multiple properties with them, and even arrange the key handovers. No hassle, proper invoices after the cleaning, and a guarantee that our apartments will be clean when the new guests check in."
