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.

"We use SPIC AND SPAN. Home & Office Cleaning when the cleaning just gets a bit out of hand. Padmond is a real pro and a pleasant person in every way! The apartment was not deep cleaned for 3 months, and after Padmond's work, everything shines. Thank you so much! Everything is clear: the floor is clean and has a smell of some natural solvents, the shower and bath sparkle! There is no trace of fat in the kitchen. We are very satisfied. "

"I ordered the deep cleaning package and could not be happier! The cleaner was friendly, helped me with some advice for the future. The apartment was in a desolate condition with many old grease stains. Another cleaning company refused this kind of cleaning. It's not just clean now, the window frames and door frames that couldn't be cleaned, now look like new. My apartment is filled with old furniture and objects, the cleaner was patient and careful to not break anything. Will recommend SPIC AND SPAN. Home & Office cleaning to all my friends. "

"SPIC AND SPAN. made me into a believer when it comes to cleaning services! Prior to taking the leap with them, I have always avoided using such services due to fear of poorly verified cleaners and generally feeling uncomfortable about having someone clean up after me. Fortunately, SPIC AND SPAN. didn’t fail at providing a friendly and experienced cleaner that left me surprisingly at ease. "

"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! "

"Hiring a cleaning lady has been one of the things on my “to-do” list for a long time. I am not a fan of cleaning myself, but nevertheless spent hours every weekend doing the chores. A few months ago a colleague told me about SPIC AND SPAN. Home & Office Cleaning. I booked a one-time cleaning service for 3 hours, let the cleaner in, and went shopping. When I came back home I felt like walking in to a freshly cleaned hotel room. Loved it! Will definitely book again. "

"Finding a cleaning person that I can count on was quite frustrating. Everyone seemed to be interested in "cash only" business. Once I asked about the invoices I could use for tax deductions, many cleaning "companies" suddenly stopped responding to my texts. With SPIC AND SPAN. Home & Office Cleaning I can easily book a cleaning service with a legally-registered business. I decided to go with a weekly cleaning plan, and can only recommend their services. "

If you would like your cleaner to bring cleaning solvents, mop, and vacuum cleaner with him/her, you need to specify that option in the booking form. If you forget to do it while booking, simply contact our customer support via email, phone, or chat, and we'll add it to your booking.
