Move-Out Cleaning for San Diego homes

Frequently asked questions
Is a move-out clean usually a lease ending or a sale in San Diego?
Both, in the proportion the housing sets: 279,312 of 530,412 occupied units in San Diego are rented (US Census Bureau ACS 5-Year 2024 (2020-2024), Table B25038; US Census Bureau ACS 5-Year 2024 (2020-2024), Table B25003). Lease endings run to a checkout standard set by the landlord or agent; sales run to "empty and presentable" for the buyer's walkthrough. Tell us which one it is and the order of work changes, because an inspection looks at appliance interiors and cabinets first.
Will this get my deposit back?
We clean to an empty-property checklist — appliance interiors, inside cabinets and drawers, bathroom fixtures and hard-water removal, baseboards, doors and frames, interior glass where reachable, floors last. What we cannot do is promise a landlord's decision: deposits also turn on damage, repairs and wear, which are not cleaning. If your landlord or agent lists anything as missed, tell us within 36 hours and we return at no extra cost.
What does a move-out clean cost here?
It is priced by the size of the property and its condition, from the published starting price on the national move-out cleaning page — not by local rent. For context on the properties involved, median gross rent in San Diego is $2,313 a month (US Census Bureau ACS 5-Year 2024 (2020-2024), Table B25064), so most bookings here are one- and two-bedroom units where the kitchen and bathroom carry the hours. You get the figure before the crew is booked, not after the work.
How quickly can you come, and how long does it take?
Book for the day the property is empty — after the van has gone and before the inspection or the buyer's walkthrough. A one-bedroom empty unit is usually a half day; a three- or four-bedroom house is normally a full day. If your handover is short notice, say the deadline in the booking and we tell you honestly whether we can staff it rather than take the booking and hope.
Is this the same as end of tenancy cleaning?
Yes. End of tenancy cleaning and move-out cleaning are the same job here: the property empty, cleaned to a checkout standard, ready for the landlord's or agent's inspection. Sales run to the same checklist for the buyer's walkthrough. Tell us which it is and we work in the order the inspection looks at things.
Does the property need to be empty, and do you take rubbish away?
Empty works best and is what the checklist assumes — furniture left in place means those areas cannot be cleaned under or behind. We are not a clearance service: bulky items and bagged rubbish stay for you or the landlord to remove, though we will bag loose debris we generate. Utilities need to be on: no water or power means no clean.
Where do I find what is included, step by step?
On the national move-out cleaning page — it carries the checklist, the timings and the published starting price, so it is maintained in one place rather than reworded on every local page.
