Move-In Cleaning for Portland homes
Moving into a new home in Portland, Oregon, often involves coordinating multiple steps, including preparing the space before your belongings arrive. For residents moving within the city, 516,152 householders lived in the same house one year ago, suggesting a significant portion of moves are local.
People search for this as a move-in deep clean, a pre-occupancy clean or simply a new-home clean. The work is the same either way: cabinet and drawer interiors, the insides of the appliances that stay with the house, bathrooms, and every floor — done while the rooms are still empty, because the same job costs more time once furniture and boxes are in place.
What the service covers, step by step — the checklist, the timings and the published starting price — is on the move-in cleaning page. This page is about running it locally. For everything else we do in Portland, see cleaning services in Portland.

Frequently asked questions
How much moving actually happens in Portland?
Enough to keep a steady rota, but this is not a high-turnover area: 516,152 of 617,406 householders were in the same home a year earlier (US Census Bureau ACS 5-Year 2024 (2020-2024), Table B07013). Move-in cleans here are individual bookings spread through the year rather than one lease cycle everybody moves on, so slots are usually available on the date you need.
What does a move-in clean cost and how long does it take?
By the size of the empty property, from the published starting price on the national move-in page. 87,702 of 307,719 homes in Portland have three bedrooms and 83,566 have two (US Census Bureau ACS 5-Year 2024 (2020-2024), Table B25041), so most bookings here are a half to a full day. Book it for the gap between closing and the truck — the cabinet interiors and appliance seals are reachable once and never again.
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, baseboards, 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 36 hours and we arrange a return visit at no extra cost.
