Move-In House Cleaning Services That Cover Everything

Move-in house cleaning services exist for one reason: the home you're moving into has someone else's history in it, and you deserve to start clean. A standard wipe-down from a previous tenant or a builder's broom sweep doesn't cut it. Rose Company sends a thorough cleaning crew before your boxes arrive, covering every surface, cabinet interior, and appliance the prior occupant left behind. Licensed, insured, and backed by a 24-hour satisfaction guarantee, we make sure your new home is actually clean before you unpack a single box. Call us for a free quote and we'll get on the schedule.

A move-in clean is more intensive than a regular house cleaning visit. We're working on a property that's likely been vacant, recently finished by a construction crew, or handed off by tenants who weren't thinking about baseboards when they left. That means cabinet interiors, oven racks, refrigerator shelves, bathroom fixtures, window sills, and all the overlooked spots that a surface clean skips entirely. What it costs depends on the size of the home, how long it's been vacant, and what condition it's in when we arrive. Every job is different -- contact Rose Company for an accurate estimate.

What a Move-In Clean Actually Covers

Not a quick pass -- a room-by-room reset before you move your life in.

  1. 01

    Kitchen

    Inside every cabinet, the oven, the fridge, the stovetop, and all surfaces. Previous occupants leave grease and residue behind -- we remove it.

  2. 02

    Bathrooms

    Toilets, tubs, showers, sinks, tile grout, and mirrors. Every bathroom gets the same attention regardless of how many are in the house.

  3. 03

    Living Areas and Bedrooms

    Baseboards, window sills, ceiling fan blades, light switches, door frames, and all flooring. The parts most people forget are the parts we don't skip.

  4. 04

    Closets and Built-Ins

    Shelving, rods, and interiors swept and wiped. Builder dust and prior-tenant debris don't belong in your new wardrobe.

Move-In vs. Deep Clean

How Move-In Cleaning Differs From a Deep Clean

Comparison of move-in cleaning versus standard deep cleaning tasks
This is a question we get a lot, and the honest answer is: they overlap, but they're not the same job. A deep clean is designed for an occupied home that needs a reset -- accumulated grime, forgotten corners, the kind of buildup that happens over months of normal living. A move-in clean is designed for a vacant property. Nobody's been cooking in that kitchen or using that bathroom regularly, but the home still carries the prior occupant's or builder's residue in every cabinet interior, fixture, and floor seam. For a new build, you're also dealing with construction dust, which gets into places a standard cleaning checklist doesn't touch. If you're moving into a newly built property in a growing area like Summerfield or Oak Ridge, post-construction residue is almost guaranteed. We know what to look for and how to clear it before your furniture goes in. You can also pair a move-in clean with our carpet cleaning service if the floors need more than a vacuum.

Who Books Move-In Cleaning and Why

01

New Homeowners

You bought the house -- you didn't sign up to scrub someone else's oven. Start with a completely clean home and set the baseline for how you maintain it going forward.

02

Renters and Apartment Residents

Landlords hand off properties in varying condition. A move-in clean documents the state of the home and gives you a fresh start. Our standard cleaning plans can keep it that way.

03

Property Managers and Landlords

Turnover cleaning between tenants matters. A thorough move-in clean protects the property, attracts better tenants, and removes any disputes about prior condition.

04

New Construction Buyers

Builder's broom sweeps leave construction dust in every vent, cabinet, and surface seam. We handle the post-construction cleaning that the contractor doesn't cover.

Bonded, Insured, and Backed by a 24-Hour Guarantee

We're not a staffing rotation -- we're a local cleaning company that answers for our work. If it's not right, we come back. That's not a marketing line; it's how we work cleaning homes across Greensboro, Winston-Salem, and the rest of the Triad.

Move-In Cleaning Questions, Answered

What does a move-in clean consist of?
A move-in clean covers the full interior of a vacant property -- cabinet interiors, appliance interiors, all bathroom fixtures, baseboards, window sills, door frames, floors, and closets. The goal is to clean every surface the prior occupant or construction crew left behind, not just the surfaces someone would hit during a regular weekly clean. It's more thorough than a standard visit because we're starting from scratch, not maintaining a home that's already been kept up.
What is the difference between a move-in clean and a deep clean?
A deep clean is designed for occupied homes -- you're targeting accumulated grime and build-up that regular cleaning misses over time. A move-in clean is designed for vacant properties where nobody has been maintaining the space. The scope overlaps in some areas, but a move-in clean focuses heavily on cabinet interiors, appliance interiors, and residue from prior occupants or construction that wouldn't exist in a maintained home. If you're moving into a new build, expect construction dust in places a deep clean checklist doesn't address.
Do I need to be present during the move-in cleaning?
No. Most of our clients hand off access before the moving truck arrives, and we work through the property on our own. We just need a way to get in -- a lockbox, a key from the landlord, or a door code works fine. We carry our own supplies and don't need supervision to follow a thorough checklist. You can also be on-site if you prefer; some clients want to do a walkthrough at the end.
Should move-in cleaning happen before or after carpet cleaning?
Before. We handle the full dry clean-out first -- dusting, wiping, vacuuming all surfaces -- and then carpet cleaning goes in after, so we're not tracking debris back across freshly shampooed floors. If you want both services, let us know when you book and we'll schedule them in the right order. This matters more than most people realize, especially in homes with carpeted bedrooms and hard-surface main areas.
How long does a move-in clean take for an average-sized home?
A standard 3-bedroom home in good condition typically takes between 3 and 5 hours with a two-person crew. A larger home, a property that's been vacant for a while, or a new construction with significant builder dust will take longer. We don't rush to hit a time target -- we finish the job right. If the home is significantly worse than expected when we arrive, we'll let you know before adding time to the scope.
Do you handle move-in cleaning for new construction homes?
Yes, and it's one of the most common requests we get. New builds come with a layer of fine construction dust in every vent, cabinet shelf, and window track that a builder's final broom sweep doesn't touch. We clean it like the prior trades left it, because they did. If you're moving into a newly developed property, pairing our move-in cleaning with a post-construction cleaning scope covers everything the builder left behind.
