Georgia Move-Out Cleaning Checklist and Deposit Rules
· 12 min read
Snellville, Gwinnett County. 2 residential ZIP codes covered.
Most homes here are owned houses, so this is usually a sale-day visit: the empty-home list, from the oven to the pantry shelves, before closing.
Move In / Out Cleaning prices for your home size
Our move-in and move-out cleaning service is written for an empty house, whether you’re moving out of an old home or into a new one. With the furniture gone, the interiors become the cleaning job: the team starts by cleaning every cabinet and drawer inside, the refrigerator and the oven inside and out, the baseboards, light switches, windows and blinds, and the laundry and pantry shelves. Sizes run from one bed and one bath to four beds and two and a half baths, booked online at a fixed start time.
In most towns, move-out cleanings belong to renters. Here they belong to sellers. About 78% of occupied homes in Snellville are lived in by their owners, and about 88% are detached single-family houses (American Community Survey, 2020–2024 estimates). The usual booking is a family house that has just sold: on moving day the movers leave, the house is cleaned, and the buyer walks through with nothing left in the cabinets. It is often the last thing you need to arrange, and the one you have the least time to clean yourself.
The renters, about 22% of households, mostly rent houses too, not units in a complex. At the end of a tenant’s lease the landlord’s list sets the standard, so paste its move-out items into the notes. No cleaning service can promise to get your security deposit back; the landlord decides that under the lease.
Age matters for one reason. The 1970s were the busiest building decade, and a kitchen of that age has fed several households. Upload a photo of the oven and the refrigerator if they have seen heavy use, so the team knows what it is walking into.
Through the home. Ceiling fans, vents and blinds dusted; mirrors and glass shelves wiped; the baseboards and light switches cleaned with a damp cloth; the inside of the windows and the blinds wiped; doors, frames and knobs dusted and wiped; high-dusting done. Floors and carpet get two vacuum cleaners, then a wet and dry mop to take up the dust and debris the move left, and the trash goes out to the bin.
Kitchen. Inside and outside of the cabinets and drawers, the counters, the microwave inside and out, the stove top cleaned and polished, the refrigerator inside and out, the oven inside and out, and the outside of the dishwasher.
Bathrooms. A thorough cleaning of showers, sinks, tile, toilets, doors and furniture, and every vanity cabinet inside and out; glass, shower doors and taps polished; surfaces disinfected with antibacterial spray.
Bedrooms, laundry and pantry. Surfaces dusted in each bedroom, and the laundry and pantry shelves wiped with a wet cloth.
The full list is on the main service page. On regular cleaning visits the cabinets, fridge and oven interiors are separate extras; in this cleaning package they are already in. That is the difference between moving cleaning services and the house cleaning services you book while you live somewhere.
On the buying side, the same list becomes a move-in cleaning service for the day after closing, before the truck arrives and before you unpack a single box. Moving into a new home built decades ago means several owners’ kitchens and bathrooms; this visit disinfects the bathroom surfaces and wipes the shelves you are about to fill, so you can focus on settling into your new house instead of cleaning your home first. Say in the notes who releases the keys and when. Our move-in cleaning checklist covers what to check yourself on that first day.
Carpet cleaning fits the same booking while the rooms are empty, counted by area: stairs, a hallway, one to five or more rooms. A two-story house with carpeted stairs and three bedrooms upstairs is the stairs plus three rooms. Once you get settled, recurring cleaning can take over weekly, biweekly or as monthly cleaning to stay on top of it; the first cleaning is a single booking and starts no plan.
The size is beds and baths, and the total shows in the booking before you confirm, with no payment taken at that point. Extras, each its own item, cover cleaning needs beyond the list: a full sink of dishes, the inside of the dryer and the dryer vent. About 43% of homes here have four or more beds; the move-out sizes stop at four beds and two and a half baths, so a larger empty house is arranged by call or email. A five-bed house still lived in can book deep cleaning, which runs to six beds.
Offices and commercial space are not booked online. If you need particular cleaning products used, or some left out, put that in the notes.
A seller here has a closing date, an agent and a buyer’s walk-through, so the questions to ask any maid service, house cleaner or professional cleaning service are practical:
Ads that promise a spotless, stress-free move and a home that will sparkle and look like new are easy to write; an open oven door at the walk-through is easier to check.
Most houses being sold here are empty and reached through a lockbox or a garage keypad. Put the code in the notes field, which takes up to 2,000 characters, with the agent’s name as a second contact, and say whether the power and water are still on. If listing photos or the final inspection are booked, set the clean for the day before. The cleaning team leaves an empty house cleaned to the list, ready to walk through.
The crew drives from Winder, Georgia, about 24 miles and about 40 minutes without traffic, on US 29 and GA 124. Both residential ZIP codes, 30039 and 30078, book online, and coverage follows the ZIP rather than the city line.
Yes. Addresses in 30039 and 30078 book online, with the total shown before you confirm and nothing charged at booking. Above four beds and two and a half baths, call or email info@bozmancleaning.com with the room count and the date.
After the movers leave and before the buyer's final walk-through, ideally the day before. The list is written for an empty house, so every shelf, closet and cabinet has to be reachable. Put the lockbox code and the agent's name in the notes.
If the house changes hands within a day and both sides agree on the date, one booking covers it. If closing and the move are days apart, the seller books the move-out clean and the buyer books a separate move-in clean before unpacking.
Not under this list. A piece or two left for the buyer is fine if you say so in the notes and upload photos. A house that is still furnished books deep cleaning instead, which adds baseboards, blinds and windows but treats the oven, fridge and cabinet interiors as extras.
Yes. The oven inside and out, the refrigerator inside and out, and the inside of every kitchen cabinet and drawer are on the base list. If the oven or fridge has seen heavy use, upload a photo of it with the booking.
