MOVE IN AND MOVE OUT CLEANING SERVICES
MOVING? WE GOT YOU!
Is there anything worse than having to move, work, and hold it all together? Moving is tough. It’s a real drain on all of us. If you rent, it can be even more frustrating. Every crumb left or speck of dust might irk your property manager just enough to not return your security deposit. It’s one of those weird moments in life where being tidy could literally be worth $1,000+ depending on rental deposits.
That’s where James found himself when he called us for a move-out cleaning. Trying to move, work, and clean his former apartment. It’s funny sometimes how little credit we give ourselves as people. We work full-time jobs, take care of ourselves and those we love, care, love, and serve. And somehow, in the midst of that, we uproot our lives and move. It’s a lot.
James contacted us with incredibly short notice. His place was nearly empty, but he didn’t have the bandwidth to get it over the finish line. With a security deposit on the line, he called us. We tailored our service to James. That’s what we do. We have cleaning packages and standards, but if you tell us you need something special, we’ll do everything we can to make it happen.
In James’ case, we called before we arrived so he could leave work and let Reina in to clean. On top of that, James knew that his carpets needed some TLC. So we scheduled carpet cleaning with our carpet cleaner. Reina dusted, swept, vacuumed, polished, and set things in order. Our carpet cleaning guru set to work and made sure the carpets were spick and span.
At Volunteer Maids, we’re dedicated to making your moving experience as stress-free as possible, ensuring your home is spotless and ready for the next chapter.
That’s what we do. We are more than a house cleaning service. Above all, we are in the people service industry. A friend of mine works for a large company in Florida. He has shared with me a few times that the core of his company’s mission isn’t their product, it’s serving others. Their slogan is literally “where shopping is a pleasure.” It’s about more than just products and services. It’s about seeing each other as people and working together for our collective good.
James was more than pleased and gave us a five-star review. We are grateful for his kind words and acknowledgment of our special and peculiar way of doing business.

WHAT’S CLEANED?
Our move-in/move-out special focuses on all the standard cleaning features: dusting, mopping, sweeping, vacuuming, polishing, and shining. But more than that, we make sure the home you are coming into or leaving is spotless. It is a chance for our cleaners to reach all those areas that would not normally be accessible when the home is occupied, such as inside the drawers, cabinets, refrigerator, etc. We dust and clean light fixtures, vents, countertops, and all surfaces. Most of the time, we don’t think to clean and sanitize the back of the tank on the toilet. When you hire Volunteer Maids for a move-in/move-out cleaning, we do even that.
Do you have a special request for your move-in/out? Is there something you are particularly interested in having cleaned? A weird stain? A stubborn oil or grease stain? Let us know, and we’ll give it special attention. If it’s outside our area of specialty, we will recommend a partner to contact. We won’t make a dollar off you if you choose to hire our recommended partners. There’s no money in it for us. We just want you to know that we care about you, particularly when life is as chaotic as moving.
With Volunteer Maids, you can trust that your move-in or move-out experience will be as smooth and stress-free as possible.
HOW DO I PREPARE?
Interested in talking to us more about a move-in or a move-out cleaning? Click the “Book Now” button below and choose the “Move In/Out” under “Select Extras” or the “Call Us Now” button. We’ll do everything we can to make sure your home is as clean as you have ever seen it.
Move-in and move-out cleanings are different from most others because your home/apartment is empty. For this type of deep cleaning, we will need to be able to move around without furniture, boxes, or other knick-knacks getting in the way. With that in mind, we ask our customers to make sure their home is empty. If you have a box or two left, just let us know and we’ll work around them. Of course, the garage is an option too for storage.
If you are moving in during the weekend, you can work with us to get into your home on Friday so that on the first day, you can skip the hassle before moving all your stuff. If you’re moving out, just let us know when you need to be off/out of the residence, and we will work with you on the right time to come clean your old digs. Either way, we are ready to take one less thing off your plate so you can get back to your life a little quicker once the moving frenzy ends.
Finally, please ensure water and electricity are still on; otherwise, we won’t be able to clean! Our cleaning crews need electricity to power their vacuums and have light to see, while water is essential for the wet jobs of scrubbing tubs/showers and mopping the floors.
With Volunteer Maids, you can trust us to handle the move-in or move-out cleaning, so you can focus on settling into your new home or wrapping up your move.

WHAT IS A MOVE IN & MOVE OUT CLEANING SERVICE?
With this service, you can get your home cleaned before or after you’ve moved. It has a deeper approach than standard and deep cleaning.
Houses and apartments get dirty and messy with time. That’s perfectly normal as part of a regular household routine. However, it can get really noticeable because there are corners you’ve never seen and things that haven’t been moved around for years.
This type of service is meant exactly for those cases where you can’t overlook them anymore and they should be cleaned before you move. After emptying out all your belongings, you will have empty cabinets, drawers, closets, and pantries.
You might have to move your stove or your fridge too. That might not be a pleasant thing to look at, for sure!
That’s what we do. We are more than a house cleaning service. Above all, we are in the people service industry. A friend of mine works for a large company in Florida. He has shared with me a few times that the core of his company’s mission isn’t their product, it’s serving others. Their slogan is literally “where shopping is a pleasure.” It’s about more than just products and services. It’s about seeing each other as people and working together for our collective good.
That is what a move-in & move-out service from VolunteerMaids will focus on.
THEY BOTH SHARE A LOT OF FEATURES
Let’s find out why it’s necessary to book this service when you’re moving in or out, how it is different from the standard and deep cleaning services, and all the benefits it will bring to your moving process.
With VolunteerMaids, you can focus on the moving logistics while we ensure your home is spotless and ready for its next chapter.
There’s a very simple reason for why it’s different from our other types of services: It is not the same because the needs are not the same. When you’re moving, you have pieces of furniture and appliances that are being removed of their usual spot, and it’s a great chance to clean them more thoroughly.
Even though standard and deep cleaning services are efficient, they won’t focus on the same areas or priorities as your move in & move out cleaning service will do. Standard cleaning will focus on keeping your home clean and tidy without disturbing your regular house dynamics. Even deep cleaning, which goes one step beyond and reaches more areas, won’t be presented with the same situation which is an empty house.
An empty house reveals many situations that you don’t see regularly and you will only discover them during the moving process. Perhaps, you are aware of them even if you’re not moving, but they’re just not a priority for your day-to-day life.
For example, you might be aware that there’s dirt and grease accumulating behind your furniture or your appliances. While it is important that you clean this occasionally, it will not be necessary as part of a standard cleaning process.
Besides the tasks that are already included in a standard cleaning service, your move in & move out service will perform additional tasks that should be performed occasionally (and moving is the perfect occasion!) or that can only be done with an empty home.
The move in/move out cleaning service covers basically any surface you can think of. Floors, countertops, shelves, and even plumbing and light fixtures.
Remember your home needs to be empty of furniture and people at the time the service is booked. Here’s a rundown of every area:

Frequently Asked Questions
Forgetting about your booking is common, especially among first-timers. But there’s no need to worry! If this is the first time you’ve hired our services, or if this is a one-time service, we will call the day before to ensure your home will be available for cleaning on the next day.
We just need a few things from you to get ready beforehand.
First things first, decide whether you are staying home during the cleaning service, if you are leaving right before handing the keys, or if you will not be home. Promptly let us know during the booking process or before the cleaning day to ensure our staff will be able to enter your home.
Next, please declutter your home a little bit. Of course, this doesn’t mean you need to vacuum, wipe surfaces, dust, or any other cleaning-related task. That’s what we are here for! We just need you to pick items up off the ground and arrange items the best you can. For our cleaners, this means less time and energy spent picking up items, allowing them to focus on cleaning your home.
Finally, don’t forget to place important documents in a safe area such as a drawer or cabinet. Otherwise, they could be mistakenly disposed of by our cleaning staff.
After you take all previous steps, feel free to plan out your day while we clean your home!
Being home to let our staff in is great and perfect for getting started right away. It’s common for customers to wait for our staff to arrive, hand over the keys, and then go enjoy their free time. If you want, you can give them brief instructions or any necessary information.
You don’t need to stay home while our staff works their magic. But if you choose to stay, we kindly ask two things:
First, please avoid hovering over the cleaners. They are professionals with plenty of cleaning experience. While they can occasionally miss an area or surface, like any human being, please wait until they finish. If you notice anything that wasn’t completed to your satisfaction, you can check their work afterward and point it out.
Second, many people work from home, especially since COVID-19. If you prefer to stay home, that’s perfectly fine! We do ask you to stay out of their way while they clean. If you are working, please briefly leave when it’s time for our staff to clean your office or workspace. You can take a break or continue your work in a different area.

We have no problem working with pets! If they are friendly around strangers, feel free to let them roam around your home.
However, if you think they might be aggressive or agitated around our staff, please place them in a secured area or take them to the park while our cleaners work. The last thing we want is an accident or someone getting injured.

At Volunteer Maids, we work hard to ensure your satisfaction throughout the entire process: before, during, and after your cleaning. Part of this involves quality control once our staff completes the service.
The day after your cleaning service, we will call you to ask a few questions about our staff’s performance and interaction with you.
Occasionally, we will request an online review. This will take no more than 5 minutes and helps us showcase our work while assisting others in deciding if our cleaning service fits their needs.
For regular customers, we will follow up occasionally to ensure everything is going perfectly and maintaining our top-notch quality.
If you are less than happy at any point during the service, please call us within 48 hours. We will listen to your concerns, take note, and if the cleaning process was not followed correctly, we will fix it at your earliest convenience at no additional charge.
It’s perfectly normal to hire a one-time service to test the waters and see if you would enjoy recurring cleanings in the future.
We hope you were happy enough with our services to switch to a recurring cleaning schedule. If that’s the case, feel free to let us know during our follow-up call after your service, or use any of our contact methods.
Or simply go to our booking page and select your preferred cleaning frequency!
