Move In / Out Cleaning prices for your home size
Our move-out cleaning service in Union City is a single visit for an empty home: inside every cabinet and drawer, inside the fridge and the oven, baseboards and light switches, the inside of the windows and blinds, then the floors with two vacuum cleaners and a wet and dry mop. It comes in four sizes, from one bed and one bath to four beds and two and a half baths. Booked before your boxes arrive, the same list works as a move-in cleaning service.
About 60% of occupied homes in the city are rented, and about 36% sit in buildings of five or more units (American Community Survey, 2020–2024 estimates). So most bookings for this visit come from a lease: a renter handing back keys, or a landlord getting a unit ready for the next one. Both book the same list at the same size, and the person who books does not have to be there on the day.
The units are mostly newer. About 55% of homes here were built in 2000 or later, and about 65% have two or three bedrooms. A newer unit still collects grease around the stove, dust and debris on cabinet tops and soap film in the shower over a lease, and each of those spots is on the list below.
Extras are the only things left: a full sink of dishes left behind, inside the dryer, or the dryer vent. Our Georgia checklist for handing back a unit shows how to walk the unit before you hand back the keys.
Whether you’re moving out or moving into a new home, the checklist is the same. For a new home move-in, run it before the furniture arrives. It is the one time to clean your new home while it is empty, and the first cleaning puts a clean surface between the last household and yours, so you can unpack straight into the kitchen cabinets and focus on settling into your new place. Book a start time for the hour the leasing office releases the key and put the office name in the notes. The move-in cleaning checklist lists what to look at on the first day.
Once you get settled, regular cleanings are a different service. A standard visit or a recurring cleaning plan, weekly, biweekly or monthly cleaning, helps you stay on top of the new home. If the old home needs catching up while you still live in it, that is a deep clean, not this visit.
The size is the bedroom count of the unit: one bed and one bath, two and two, three and two and a half, or four and two and a half. The price follows that size only, not the state the unit was left in, and the total shows on screen before you confirm. No payment is taken when you book. A unit or house outside those sizes is arranged by phone or email. The cleaning cost calculator compares sizes, and carpet cleaning can go on the same booking once the furniture is out.
When you search for moving cleaning services or a maid for the day, you will find a house cleaner who quotes per hour, one who quotes from photos, and some who list nothing at all. Ask each professional cleaning service the same questions. Are the fridge, oven and the inside of the cabinets in the cleaning package, or extra? Does the price change with the state of the unit? Does someone have to be home? What happens if the landlord finds a missed spot? Our answers: those three are on the list; the price follows the size only; no one needs to be home if the notes say how to get in and how to lock up; and a missed item is raised at the walk-through while the team is still in the unit, so book a start time that lets you be there for the end if you want to check. Whether a security deposit comes back is between the renter and the landlord; this visit hands them a clean, empty unit to look at. The best cleaning for a lease end is a thorough cleaning that matches what the lease asks for.
Every cleaning job here starts with the notes field, which holds up to 2,000 characters. Paste in the move-out clause of the lease, say who holds the key and whether it is at the leasing office, give the gate code and where the building’s trash goes, and say if any furniture stays. If the lease lists cleaning needs beyond our list, name them; if you want particular cleaning products used or left out, say so. Want the old home cleaned while you are already in the new one? The key arrangement is all the team needs. Offices and commercial units are arranged by phone or email, not online. The team drives from Winder, about 66 miles and about 90 minutes without traffic, by I-85, US 29 and I-75. The residential ZIP code 30291 books online, and Fairburn and Palmetto are nearby in Fulton County.
No. The visit runs in an empty unit, so the cleaning team needs a way in and a way to lock up: a key at the leasing office, a lockbox code or a door code in the notes. If you want to check the result, pick a start time that lets you arrive for the end and walk the rooms with the team.
The three-bed, two-and-a-half-bath size, whatever the square footage. A two-bed unit books the two-bed size. The checklist is the same at every size; only the time and the price change.
No. The fridge inside and out, the oven inside and out, and the inside of the cabinets and drawers are all on the list. The extras are a full sink of dishes left behind, inside the dryer and the dryer vent.
Yes. A landlord between leases books the same visit at the size of the unit, on any day it stands empty. Put the key arrangement and the date the new lease starts in the notes, to get the house cleaned before moving day.
We cannot promise that; the deposit is between you and your landlord. What the visit gives you is a clean, empty unit and a checklist you can show. Read the move-out clause of your lease and put anything it names beyond our list in the notes.
