Move-In Cleaning in Manhattan, in detail
However, for those moving, the timing of cleaning an empty property before a moving truck arrives can be critical. Many householders are moving into renter-occupied housing units; 958,515 householders lived in renter-occupied housing units a year ago, and 1,146,511 householders lived in renter-occupied housing units. This can influence scheduling needs for move-in services.
Apartment sizes in Manhattan also shape move-in cleaning. Out of 923,472 housing units by bedroom count, 356,550 have 1 bedroom and 276,516 have 2 bedrooms. There are also 141,852 housing units with no bedrooms. These smaller unit sizes often mean a quicker turnaround is needed between the previous tenant vacating and new residents moving in, requiring efficient scheduling for move-in cleaning.

Frequently asked questions
What does an empty-house clean actually include?
The surfaces you cannot reach once the van is unloaded: inside kitchen cabinets and drawers, refrigerator and oven interiors, bathroom fixtures, closet shelves, skirting, and the floors last. The full checklist is on the national page.
The sellers left it broom-clean — do we still need it?
Say so and we will tell you honestly. Broom-clean changes the time, not the checklist: cabinet interiors, appliance seals and bathroom fixtures are almost never covered by it.
Where do I find what is included, step by step?
On the national move-in 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.
What happens if something is missed?
Tell us within 24 hours and we arrange a return visit at no extra cost.
