Move In Cleaning in Columbus
A new home in Columbus deserves a clean slate. From German Village to the streets around it, our move in cleaners clear out the dust and buildup the last occupants left behind.
Your Local Move In Cleaning Team in Columbus
Professional move in cleaners who prep your new home top to bottom.
A move into Columbus should feel like a fresh start, not a cleanup project. Before you unpack, our team sanitizes the whole home — kitchen, bathrooms, floors and every cabinet — so you can settle in around German Village without scrubbing first.
Whether your new home is a compact apartment near German Village or a family house elsewhere in Columbus, our move in deep cleaning reaches every surface. Roughly 48% of Columbus homes are detached and 48% are apartments, so we adjust the checklist to fit each one.

Move In Cleaning FAQs — Columbus
Everything you need to know before your new home clean.
How much does move in cleaning cost in Columbus?
Most Columbus move in cleans start around $169 for an apartment and $279 for a standard home. Final pricing depends on the size of your new home and any add-ons like deep carpet cleaning. You can get an exact, no-obligation quote in minutes.
What’s the difference between move in and move out cleaning?
A move out cleaning service prepares a home you’re leaving (often to recover a deposit), while a move in deep cleaning sanitizes a new, empty home before you bring your belongings in. The checklists overlap, but move in cleaning focuses on making the space healthy and ready for you.
Should I book before or after my furniture arrives?
Book before the furniture arrives. With the Columbus home empty, we can detail every surface, including the spots near German Village that are impossible to reach once you’ve moved in.
Do you sanitize bathrooms and the kitchen?
Yes. Every move in clean includes sanitizing cleaning services for all bathrooms and the kitchen, plus disinfecting high-touch surfaces throughout your new Columbus home.
Can you clean inside the fridge and oven?
Absolutely — inside the fridge and oven are included in our Standard and Large packages, and available as add-ons for apartments.
How far in advance should I schedule?
We recommend booking 3–5 days ahead, especially around busy Columbus moving weekends. Same-week and next-day slots are often available too.
Are your move in cleaners insured?
Yes. Every Columbus professional move in cleaner is fully vetted and insured, and our work is backed by a 24-hour satisfaction guarantee.
