Do you include the garage on the cleaning checklist?

Yes. The garage can be included in any move-out or move-in cleaning, with advance notice and as long as the garage is empty.

Move-out cleans are usually the heavier of the two and take more time.
02

What if the house is dirtier than expected?

The team sends a report as soon as they arrive at the house. If the full checklist needs more time than expected, we call you directly and readjust the scope together.

What is the difference between move-out and move-in cleaning?

A move-out cleaning is usually done right after the occupants leave and is typically a heavy clean that takes more time. A move-in cleaning is requested by the new occupants and is usually a lighter clean that makes sure the house is fresh.
