Move-Out & Move-In Cleaning in Marietta, GA

Move-in and move-out cleaning is a one-time cleaning service for an empty home, whether you’re moving out of the old home or moving into a new home. With the furniture and food gone, the interiors become the job: every cabinet and drawer, the fridge and the oven, inside and out, plus baseboards, blinds and the inside of the windows. None of that is an add-on here; it is the cleaning package. It covers one to four bedrooms and books online like our other house cleaning services.

Who books it in Marietta

Mostly a tenant at the end of a lease. About 53% of occupied homes in the city are rented, and about 40% of homes are in buildings of five or more units (American Community Survey, 2020–2024 estimates). The lease sets the date, so renters book for the day after the truck leaves and before the keys go back. Property managers and leasing offices book it between tenants, often with the key held at the office.

About 12% of homes are townhomes, which change hands like a house: handed back at the end of a lease or sold. If a townhome has assigned parking, put the space number in the notes. An owner selling a detached house has the home cleaned to the same list before the buyer’s walk-through.

What the cleaning team does

Top down, because dust and debris fall:

• Through the home. Ceiling fans, vents and blinds dusted; baseboards and light switches wiped with a damp cloth; the inside of the windows wiped; high-dusting; mirrors and glass shelves; doors, frames and knobs; trash out to your bin. With nothing in the way, floors get two vacuum cleaners, then a wet and dry mop, wall to wall.
• Kitchen. Cabinets and drawers inside and out, counters, the microwave inside and out, the stove top cleaned and polished, the outside of the dishwasher, the refrigerator inside and out, the oven in and out.
• Bathroom. Showers, sinks, tile and toilets; every cabinet inside and outside; glass, shower doors and taps polished; surfaces disinfected with antibacterial spray to sanitize what the next person touches first.
• Bedrooms, laundry and pantry. Surfaces dusted; shelves wiped with a wet cloth.

It is a thorough cleaning of the parts a lived-in visit cannot reach. It is not a promise that an old oven will look like new.

Move-in: clean your new home before you unpack

As a move-in cleaning service, it runs the same list before the boxes come in: the first cleaning in the new place and the last chance to do it with the cabinets empty. About 25% of homes here were built in 2000 or later, so most moves land in a home with years of previous occupants. To get a new home clean, book the morning the keys are yours and have the movers come later. You come home to a clean house on the first night and can get settled instead of scrubbing.

Once you are settling into your new home, your cleaning needs turn to regular cleaning. To stay on top of it, recurring cleaning in Marietta repeats the standard list weekly, every two weeks or monthly, each date booked on its own; monthly cleaning leaves the longest gap between cleanings.

Move-out, deep or standard?

Ask whether anyone still lives there. A furnished home with full cabinets gets deep cleaning, where the interiors are extras added one at a time. An empty home gets this list. Above four bedrooms, book the deep clean, which runs to six, and add the oven, the fridge and the cabinets, or call or email with the ZIP and room count.

How to compare move-out cleaners in Marietta

A leasing office in a large complex checks the same things every turnover: the oven, the fridge, the cabinets, the tub. So compare cleaning lists, not slogans about a stress-free move, a spotless kitchen or a home that will sparkle. Ask any maid or house cleaner:

• Are the interiors on the list by name? Here every cabinet, drawer, the fridge and the oven are.
• Does the total show before you commit? It shows online for your size, and no payment is taken at booking. The cleaning cost calculator gives the figure by size.
• Do they bring their own cleaning supplies? Put any supply question, or cleaning products you want used or avoided, in the notes before the cleaning job.
• Can they work with the office’s hours? Put the unit number and office hours in the notes, and pick a start time while it is open.

The deposit

No cleaning service can promise to get your security deposit back. In Georgia, O.C.G.A. § 44-7-34 gives the landlord 30 days after getting the unit back to return it, and it may not be kept for ordinary wear and tear; the rest is your lease. Paste the lease’s move-out clause into the notes, and photograph each room after the visit, the open oven and fridge included. Our state move-out checklist covers the rules, and the move-in cleaning checklist covers the other side.

Timing, carpet and access

Moving day is the wrong time to clean, for any professional cleaning service, and a mop bucket in the hall is the last thing you need. The best cleaning date is the day after the truck leaves, or the day before it arrives. You do not need to be there. To make your move easy on the crew, leave an empty home, power and water on, and a way in, and you hand back a clean home.

The crew drives from Winder, about 55 miles and about 75 minutes without traffic to Marietta City Hall. Coverage runs by ZIP, not the city line, and the residential codes 30008, 30060, 30062, 30064, 30066, 30067, 30068 and 30090 all book online. Carpet cleaning can join the same booking by room, stairs or hallway, and upholstery left for the next tenant can go on it too. Offices and commercial units are not booked online; call or email first.
