Empty home

An empty-house clean, ready for the next set of keys

Empty homes made ready before a showing, a closing or a new listing.

Chapter 01

The walk-through shows everything

An empty house has nowhere to hide. With the furniture gone, buyers and inspectors see the scuffs on the baseboards, the dust on the blinds, the marks where a refrigerator stood and the grease inside the oven. Pet hair gathers in the corners, and the shower still carries the soap scum the last family stopped noticing. A property can look fine with a couch in front of the wall and look neglected the minute it is bare.

Move In/Move Out Cleaning is for real-estate properties that need attention before a showing, a closing or a listing. That covers a seller handing over keys, an agent preparing a listing, and a family who wants the new place clean before the first box comes through the door.

How an empty home gets cleaned

We ask that the property be empty, and that rule is ours. Cleaning around boxes and furniture is a surface wipe, and this service is meant to reach the places that normally stay covered. With the rooms clear, the crew can go inside the cabinets and drawers, down the closet shelves and across every wall-to-wall run of baseboard without moving anything twice.

The order is the same as any careful clean, high to low. Fans, vents and fixtures come first, then door frames, switch plates, window sills and tracks. The kitchen gets the inside of the appliances and cabinets as well as the outsides, and the bathrooms are done down to the grout and the glass. Floors are last, so the footprints from the work itself are gone. Our cleaning and sanitation products are environmentally friendly, and the crew stays focused on attention to detail, since a buyer's eye will find whatever was missed.

Chapter 03

Time it after the last box and before the buyer

Book it after the last box is out and before anyone walks through the front door.

Real estate calendars move quickly, so we are open to match them: Monday to Friday 8am to 8pm, Saturday 9am to 7pm and Sunday 9am to 8pm. A clean can land in the evening after the movers leave, or on a weekend morning before an open house. If you are in Lakeland or anywhere in Central Florida, call (863) 370-8387 for a free estimate. Appointments cancelled at least 24 hours ahead are no trouble, and cancelling inside that window carries a charge of half the service.

Clear glass sells a room, so window washing is a common add on for a listing. Once someone has moved in, a deep cleaning is the natural next step for a place that has sat empty, and basic cleaning keeps it up after that. The services page lists the rest, including new construction cleaning for builds that have not been lived in yet.
