Start Fresh in a Clean New Space
Even when a property looks clean during a walkthrough, dust, residue, fingerprints, and signs of previous occupancy can remain behind. Cleaning becomes much easier while the space is still empty or mostly empty.
Our move-in cleaning service in Columbia focuses on preparing the property before you begin unpacking. With fewer belongings in the way, cleaners can access floors, surfaces, cabinets, closets, and other areas that may be difficult to reach after you move in.
Instead of spending your first day in a new home scrubbing kitchens and bathrooms, you can focus on getting settled.

What Is Included in Move-In Cleaning?
Every property has different cleaning needs. The exact work can be adjusted based on the size and condition of the property and the areas you want cleaned.
Kitchen Cleaning
The kitchen can receive attention before food, dishes, and other belongings are unpacked. Cleaning may include countertops, sinks, accessible cabinet areas, appliance exteriors, floors, and other reachable kitchen surfaces.
Cabinets, Closets and Storage Areas
Empty cabinets, shelves, closets and accessible storage areas can be cleaned when included in your service.
Bathroom Cleaning
Bathrooms can be cleaned before you begin using the property. This may include toilets, showers, tubs, sinks, mirrors, countertops, fixtures, and floors.
Floors and High-Touch Surfaces
Floors may be vacuumed, swept, or mopped as appropriate. Frequently touched areas such as door handles, light switches, and other accessible surfaces can also receive attention.
Bedrooms and Living Areas
Bedrooms, living rooms, hallways, and other living spaces can be prepared by removing dust and debris from accessible surfaces, baseboards, and floors.
