The method

Move-out cleans happen in empty homes, but you clean inside every cabinet, drawer, closet and appliance, and landlords inspect closely. Estimate hours from square footage, add bathrooms and wall spot-cleaning, and price to your margin.

FAQ

Who usually pays for a move-out clean?

Tenants trying to get a deposit back, landlords, property managers and real-estate agents.

Should I offer a re-clean guarantee?

Many cleaners do for move-outs, since a failed inspection costs the client their deposit.
