Don't Lose Your Security Deposit to a Dirty Apartment

You're exhausted from packing. The moving truck is coming. The last thing you want to do is spend hours scrubbing an empty apartment. But that security deposit? It's real money—often a month's rent or more.

Landlords and property managers look for any reason to keep your deposit. Dusty baseboards, grimy grout, a less-than-sparkling oven—these "small" things add up to deductions on your final walkthrough.

Our move out cleaning is designed specifically for this moment. We deep clean every surface, inside every cabinet, and behind every appliance so you can hand over the keys with confidence.

Professional move out cleaning service on Long Island

Your Cleaning Can Pay for Itself

A typical Long Island security deposit is $2,000-$4,000+. Our move out cleaning starts at $395. Even if professional cleaning saves you just 15-20% of your deposit, it's paid for itself—and you didn't have to lift a finger.

Protect Your Deposit

Landlords look for reasons to make deductions. A professionally cleaned home removes their excuses.

Save Your Time & Energy

Moving is exhausting enough. Spend your energy unpacking in your new home, not scrubbing your old one.

Leave on Good Terms

Need a reference for your next rental? Leaving a spotless home makes a lasting impression.

Questions & Answers

Move Out Cleaning FAQs

How long does move out cleaning take?
Move out cleaning typically takes 4-8+ hours depending on your home's size and condition. Empty homes are generally faster to clean, but we take the time to get into every corner and cabinet. A 2-bedroom apartment might take 4-5 hours, while a large 4+ bedroom home could take a full day.
When should I schedule the cleaning?
Schedule your move out cleaning after all your belongings are out but before your landlord walkthrough. Most clients book us for the day after the movers come, giving us an empty space to work with. Try to leave at least 4-6 hours between our cleaning and your inspection.
Will this help me get my security deposit back?
A professional cleaning removes one of the most common reasons landlords withhold deposits. While we can't guarantee your full deposit (that depends on other factors like damage, lease terms, etc.), a spotless home eliminates cleaning-related deductions. Many clients tell us the cleaning paid for itself.
How is pricing determined?
Pricing is based on your home's size (bedrooms, bathrooms, and square footage) and current condition. Homes that haven't been well-maintained may require more time. You'll get an exact quote when you book—no surprises. Note that prices on this page are starting prices and may not reflect current rates.
Does everything need to be out before you clean?
Ideally, yes. We can work around some items, but empty rooms allow us to clean floors properly, get behind appliances, and clean inside all cabinets and closets. The more empty the space, the more thorough the clean—and the better impression on your landlord.
What if my landlord still finds something?
Our 100% satisfaction guarantee covers you. If your landlord points out something we missed and you contact us within 24 hours, we'll come back and fix it at no charge. We want you to pass that walkthrough with flying colors.
Can you clean if I'm still packing?
We can, but it's not ideal. Cleaning around boxes and furniture means we can't do as thorough a job, especially on floors and in closets. If timing is tight, let us know—we can sometimes do a two-phase approach or work around your schedule creatively.
