Frequently Asked Questions
Most frequent questions and answers
How does it work?
It all starts with a booking. You can easily schedule your move-in or move-out cleaning online, or give us a call at 818-208-1698. We’re happy to answer any questions and can create the booking for you over the phone. That’s it! On the day of your appointment, a professional cleaner will arrive with all the necessary supplies—ready to get your space spotless.
Should I be present during the cleaning?
We recommend that customers be present at the end of the cleaning. This gives you the opportunity to walk through the space, ensure everything has been completed to your satisfaction, and point out anything that may have been missed.
Do you bring cleaning supplies?
Yes! Our cleaners come fully equipped with professional supplies and tools to get your place move-in or move-out ready. However, if you have any preferences or would like us to use your own cleaning products, just let us know—we’re happy to accommodate.
Do your cleaners know what to do and what's included?
We work exclusively with professional residential cleaners who have years of experience, including extensive move-in and move-out cleanings. They have expert knowledge of various materials, including high-end fixtures and delicate surfaces. While they don’t require a checklist to deliver top-quality results, you’re always welcome to share any specific instructions or preferences.
How should I prepare for move in/move out cleaning?
We ask that everything be moved out before the cleaning begins. For best results, please ensure the fridge, cupboards, and closets are completely empty. This allows our cleaners full access to every surface and ensures the most thorough clean possible. We also recommend scheduling your cleaning as the final step in your move in or move out process — this way, you won’t have to tidy up after movers, painters, or contractors.
What is not included in the cleaning?
Just keep in mind that we specialize in cleaning services only. You might need to hire a separate company for exterior window washing, pressure washing or services like trash removal.

What landlords expect to be completed during move out cleaning
You probably think that an empty space is easier to clean than occupied because there is no extra belongings. However, it’s quite the opposite. There are many little things that need to be covered during a move in/move out cleaning and they are overlooked during your regular maintenance cleaning. People that steer towards DIY when it comes to end of lease cleaning in Los Angeles, should remember the following things.
- Deep clean all kitchen cabinets from top to bottom, inside and out
- Clean all bathroom cabinets from inside as well. All drips and loose particles will be especially noticeable in empty cabinets
- Make sure that all appliances are cleaned from inside as well
- Windows and window sills require deep cleaning
- Baseboards should be wiped and deep cleaned as well
Make moving easier with professional cleaning service
As you can see, that’s a lot of extra work and not everyone could handle that. Professional house cleaners in Los Angeles know the best techniques for move in/move out cleanings and will save you a lot of time. Some landlords can be extra picky so you might want to speak to them to discuss the scope of work. This will also help you to make your landlord happy with the cleaning work and make the whole process smoother.
