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.
