Move-in and Move-out Cleaning

The best time to clean a home thoroughly is when it is empty. Move-in and Move-out Cleaning prepares a property for its next occupant, whether you are a landlord between tenants, an owner taking possession or a tenant handing back keys.

About this service

When furniture and belongings are gone, every surface is accessible: inside wardrobes and lofts, behind where the refrigerator stood, inside kitchen cabinets and under the sink. Move-out cleaning removes what the previous occupant left behind, from grease and stains to dust, nails and packing debris. Move-in cleaning ensures the home is fresh and hygienic before your own belongings arrive and are unpacked.

For landlords, a clean property makes a better first impression on prospective tenants and supports a fair, documented handover. For NRI owners, this is often arranged together with a move-out inspection so that the property's condition is recorded and any repairs can be planned before the next tenancy. Tenants handing a flat back may also find a professional clean helps the inspection go smoothly, though deposit decisions remain between landlord and tenant.

Flourrish coordinates the cleaning around key handover dates, works with the building or apartment association on access where needed, and shares photos once the work is complete. If the clean reveals damage, leaks or pest activity, we report it so you can decide on next steps. This gives landlords time to plan repairs, pest control or painting before the next occupant arrives, rather than discovering problems after move-in.

Frequently asked questions

Does the property need to be empty?

It works best when the property is empty, as all storage and floor areas can be reached. If some furniture remains, we will clean around it and agree what can be moved.

Can this be combined with a move-out inspection?

Yes. Many owners arrange cleaning after a move-out inspection so the condition is documented first. We can coordinate both.

Will a professional clean ensure my deposit is returned?

We cannot make any promise about deposits. Those decisions are between the landlord and tenant under the rental agreement. A thorough clean does help present the property well.

What are the charges?

Charges depend on the size and condition of the property. We share the applicable charges before confirming the job.
