Move In/Out Cleaning
Leave it spotless. Walk into spotless.
Moving is its own full-time job — the cleaning shouldn't be. We handle the empty-home detail work, whether you're closing out a lease or opening the door to a new one.
What makes an empty-home cleaning different
With furniture and belongings out of the way, we can actually reach everything — inside every cabinet, drawer and closet, behind where the fridge and washer sat, corners that have been blocked for years. That's a different job than cleaning around a lived-in home, and it's scoped and priced accordingly.
This service runs both directions. Moving out means leaving a rental or sold home in the condition a landlord or buyer expects at final walkthrough. Moving in means not unpacking into someone else's dust, hair and grime — especially across MetroWest's mix of older single-family homes and apartment turnovers, where the last cleaning before you might have been months ago, if it happened at all.
Move day doesn't leave much room for error. We coordinate around your timeline — key or lockbox access when nobody's living there to let us in, a narrow window between the movers leaving and new occupants arriving — so the clean happens exactly when it needs to, not whenever it's convenient for us.

How move in/out cleaning works
Confirm timing & access
Since nobody's living there to let us in, we coordinate a key, lockbox, or agent access around your move date — not around business hours.
Full empty-home pass
We work through everything furniture normally blocks — cabinet interiors, closets, behind appliances — because for once, nothing's in the way.
Floors done last
Floors get vacuumed and mopped at the very end, once every other surface is done, so nothing gets tracked back through a finished room.
Book the other end too
Moving into a new place the same week? We can schedule the move-out clean at your old address and the move-in clean at the new one.
Why homeowners and landlords choose Alice
Family-run
Alice Cleaning Services is family-run, not a franchise dispatch center. The people confirming your move-day access are the same people accountable for the result.
Bilingual team
Our crew communicates comfortably in Portuguese, Spanish, and English — useful when coordinating access details with tenants, landlords, or agents who speak different languages.
Local & flexible
We're serving and work move dates throughout MetroWest and Greater Boston, including tight same-day turnarounds when your calendar doesn't leave much room.
Frequently asked questions
Does the home need to be empty for this cleaning?
Yes — this service is priced and scoped for an empty or nearly empty space, since we're cleaning inside cabinets, closets and behind where furniture usually sits.
Do you clean inside the fridge and oven?
Yes, that's included as standard for move in/out cleanings, unlike our regular house cleaning.
How soon before or after the move can you schedule?
As close to your move date as your schedule needs — many clients book the same day the movers finish or the day before new tenants arrive. Book early during busy months.
Will this help me get my deposit back?
We clean to the standard most landlords and property managers expect for move-out inspections. We can't guarantee a specific outcome, but we leave the space genuinely ready for inspection.
Do you clean occupied homes too, or only empty ones?
We clean both — this specific service is scoped for an empty or nearly empty space. If your home is still furnished, our regular house cleaning or deep cleaning is the better fit.
Can you coordinate directly with my landlord, agent, or property manager for access?
Yes — give us their contact info or a lockbox code and we'll work the access details out directly, so you don't have to be the go-between.
What if the movers are still there when you arrive?
Let us know your expected move-out time when you book and we'll build in a buffer. If timing shifts last-minute, call us and we'll do our best to adjust.
