Move-In Cleaning in Huntington Park
We clean your new home before your boxes and furniture arrive. Inside the cabinets, the oven, the fridge, the tub and the floors along every wall. You know what was cleaned and how, and you start unpacking without wiping shelves first.
Why clean a place that looks clean
A home that passed a walkthrough can still have crumbs in the drawer tracks, grease on the range hood filter and soap film on the shower glass. The last people cleaned what showed. We clean what you are about to touch every day.
Empty rooms are the easiest rooms to clean well. Nothing blocks the baseboards, the closet floors or the back of the kitchen counter. Once the couch and the boxes come in, those spots stay dirty for years.
We do move-in cleaning in Huntington Park and nearby towns like South Gate, Maywood and Bell Gardens. If you are leaving a place too, our move-out cleaning page covers that side.
What a move-in clean covers
- 01
Kitchen, inside and out
We clean inside every cabinet and drawer, wipe the shelves and hinges, and degrease the stovetop and range hood. We clean inside the oven and the fridge, including the door seals and crisper drawers.
- 02
Bathrooms
Toilets get cleaned at the base and behind the seat hinges. We scrub the tub, tile and grout lines, remove soap film from glass, and wipe inside the vanity and medicine cabinet.
- 03
Floors and baseboards
We vacuum and mop hard floors edge to edge, vacuum carpet, and hand-wipe baseboards in every room. Closet floors are included.
- 04
Doors, switches and handles
Light switches, door handles, cabinet pulls and the faces of doors get wiped. These are the spots every hand in the house has touched.
- 05
Windowsills and tracks
We vacuum and wipe window tracks and sills, where dust and dead bugs collect. Interior glass is cleaned within reach.
Questions about Move-In Cleaning?
Call(323) 870-9031Signs your new place needs a move-in clean
Sticky cabinet shelves
If your hand sticks to a shelf or comes back gray, the inside of the cabinets was skipped.
A smell when the oven heats
Old spills burn off and smoke. Better to clean them out before your first dinner.
Hair and grime in the bathroom corners
Look behind the toilet and along the tub edge. Those spots are easy to miss on a quick clean.
Dust lines on the baseboards
Gray lines on the trim mean the floors were mopped but the edges were not.
The home sat empty for a while
Dust settles even with nobody living there. A few weeks of vacancy leaves film on counters and sills.
How the day goes
- 1
A short call for your quote
Give us a few details: how big the place is, how many bathrooms it has and what shape it is in right now. From that we put together a free quote and spell out what it covers, so the day holds no surprises.

Access and walkthrough
You or your agent opens up for us. If you like, we walk the rooms together and note the spots that matter most to you.

Ceilings first, floors last
We work top down, starting with fans, vents and shelves and ending on the floors, so dust we knock loose never lands on a clean surface. Kitchens and bathrooms take the most time. Every product is used as its label directs, cleaners are never mixed, and we keep fresh air moving with open windows or fans.

Final check with you
Before we leave, we walk through the home with you. Anything we missed gets fixed right then.
What sets the price
We price move-in cleaning by the home and its condition, not by a flat guess. You get the number by phone before we book. These are the things that move it.
- Size and bathrooms
- A bigger place takes longer, plain and simple. Each bathroom adds more time than a bedroom does, because of the tile, the glass and the fixtures.
- How it was left
- A home that was lightly cleaned takes less time than one with built-up grease, hard water stains or pet hair.
- Appliances
- Cleaning inside the oven and fridge adds time, more so when there are baked-on spills or old food.
- Extras you ask for
- Things like the inside of a garage cabinet or a laundry area can be added. We tell you what each adds before we start.
Move-in cleaning questions
Does the home need to be empty?
Empty is best. Every shelf, closet floor and baseboard is easy to reach that way. If some of your things are already inside, we work around them and point out the spots we could not get to.
Do I need to be there?
Not for the whole clean. Someone has to open the door, and we like to do a final walk with you before we go. A lot of people leave and come back near the end.
Do you bring the supplies?
We do. Our crew shows up with cleaners, cloths, mops and a vacuum. If there is a product you would rather we use, mention it on the phone and we will bring it into the job.
What sets this apart from deep cleaning?
The tasks overlap a lot. A move-in clean happens in an empty home, so it covers the inside of every cabinet, drawer and appliance. Deep cleaning is for a home you already live in, and we work around your furniture and belongings.
Do you clean carpets or outside windows?
We vacuum carpets, but we do not shampoo or steam them. Interior glass within reach is included. We tell you this up front on the call so you can line up anything else you need.
Move into a clean kitchen and bath
Give us your move date, the size of the place and its condition. We will price it clearly and pick a time that lands ahead of your furniture.
