We never realize how many things we own until it’s time to pack them up and move into a new space. And we also seem to forget just how much work moving is until we’re right in the middle of it!

Moving takes time, effort, energy and resources to make it happen quickly and smoothly. Once you have all of your possessions boxed up and ready to go, the last thing you want to do is start scrubbing, dusting and vacuuming. 

Why not consider move out cleaning services?

At your new home, you don’t want to have to wipe everything down before you can start moving in. You’re ready to start unpacking! Hiring Clean My Space CT for your move in cleaning services can expedite the unpacking process.

Here’s how move in move out cleaning services can make moving feel like a breeze.

Focus on Your Moving To-Do List

There are countless things to do when moving in or moving out. When you hire move out cleaning services, you have more time to spend crossing other major things off of your to-do list: 

  • Forward your mail.
  • Disconnect your utilities.
  • Cancel or transfer your homeowner’s or renter’s insurance.
  • Organize your moving boxes.

You also have to contend with things like scheduling home inspections and closings at your new or old residence (or both!)—which can take quite a bit of time and effort. 

There are so many things to be done in the weeks and days leading up to your move. Why spend that time cleaning? Whether you’re moving in or moving out, you’ve got a long list of things to do. Why not leave the cleaning to the professionals who can get it done for you in record time?

Get Your Safety Deposit Back with Move Out Cleaning Services

If you’re moving out of an apartment or rental home, you have to take extra precautions cleaning your space to get your full safety deposit back. Landlords are allowed to deduct cleaning fees from your safety deposit or damage deposit if they don’t think your home has been cleaned thoroughly. 

If you are moving out of an apartment or rental home, oftentimes landlords will provide you with a move out cleaning checklist. If you’ve never seen one of these lists before, prepare yourself: It’s usually incredibly long. 

This particular move-out cleaning checklist is 10 pages long and requires you to use specific cleaners and disinfectants on different surfaces. 

These move-out checklists are full of detailed cleaning tasks. If you’re already too busy with packing and unpacking, you won’t have much time to spare for this detailed cleaning. 

Here are a few examples you’ll see on move-out checklists that will give you an idea of how much time you’ll need to devote to each task:

  • Clean all the shelves and drawers of your refrigerator, then pull the fridge away from the wall and clean between the fridge and the wall.
  • Defrost and clean the freezer.
  • Clean the vent fan cover in all the bathrooms.
  • Clean out all window tracks, and wash all windowsills and screens.
  • Dust and wipe down both sides of your ceiling fan blades.

These are things you may do on rare occasions in your home, but they all need to be done all at once when you’re moving out or you risk losing part of your deposit.

When you hire professionals to do your move out cleaning for you, you can ensure that when your landlord goes through your move-out cleaning checklist, they’ll be entirely satisfied with each point on the list and you’ll get your full safety deposit back.

Find More Time for Packing

The average three-bedroom house can take three to five days—or more—to pack completely. This isn’t three to five nights spending an hour or two packing; we’re talking about three to five entire days to pack your home. 

Unless you’re planning to take an entire week off from work, it’s hard to find the time to get everything done. And it’s important to consider that this is just the time it takes to move out. It doesn’t even include the time you’ll spend unpacking and setting up once you move into your new home. 

Are you prepared to spend hours cleaning your old home and your new one too? Is that time well spent? Many people opt to hire a professional cleaning company for their move-in and move-out cleaning services because they simply don’t have the time and energy to do it themselves! 

Move-In Cleaning Services Will Make Your New Space Feel Like Home

Just like moving out, there are all kinds of things to do when you move into a new home. Houselogic recommends that you do the following things when moving into a new home:

  • Change the locks.
  • Check for plumbing issues.
  • Wipe down the kitchen cabinets.
  • Clean the carpets.
  • Consider pest control.
  • Acquaint yourself with your breaker box and main water valve.

This is just the start, though. Before you start to move in, you’ll want to do things like vacuum and wash the rugs, sweep out the cobwebs, wash light fixtures and windowsills, clean and sanitize the toilets and showers, clean kitchen appliances, and more. 

There’s already enough on your plate as it is with moving in. Why not leave the move-in cleaning to the professionals like our team at Clean My Space CT so that all you have to do is move in?
