A clean starting point
Prepare Your New Home Before Unpacking
Move-In Cleaning is designed for the period after you receive access to a residence but before everyday belongings make detailed cleaning more difficult. An empty or mostly empty home allows more surfaces and edges to be reached efficiently.
The scope is based on the condition of the property, the surfaces present, the time available before the move, and the areas that matter most to you.
When to Schedule Move-In Cleaning
Before Furniture and Boxes Arrive
Cleaning is generally more efficient when floors, storage areas, edges, and other surfaces remain accessible.
After Receiving the Keys
The service can be coordinated after access is available and before the household begins settling in.
When the Existing Cleaning Is Not Enough
A new residence may need additional attention even when it appears generally clean at first glance.
Before Everyday Routines Begin
Starting with an agreed professional cleaning can reduce the amount of detail work competing with unpacking and other move-related tasks.
What Move-In Cleaning Can Include
The final scope is agreed in advance and depends on the property’s condition, accessible surfaces, and the priorities identified before the service.
Kitchen
- Counters, sinks, appliance exteriors, and surfaces agreed in advance.
Bathrooms
- Fixtures, mirrors, showers, tubs, and detail suited to each surface.
Empty Storage Areas
- Cabinet and drawer interiors when empty, accessible, and included in your agreed scope.
- Shelving and closet surfaces that are clear enough to clean well.
Living Areas and Bedrooms
- Dust and detail areas such as baseboards, shelving, and spots new occupants notice first.
Floors, Edges, and Finishing Details
- Floors and high-traffic areas cared for according to your flooring and home condition.
- Scope confirmed before we arrive so expectations stay clear.
Planning around your move
A Move-In Cleaning Plan Based on the New Home
The appropriate scope depends on the size and condition of the residence, the surfaces present, how empty and accessible the home will be, and the time available before move-in. Robert or Maggie will review your request, discuss priorities, and provide a personal estimate.
If the home will be only partly empty or lightly furnished, tell us in advance so we can set realistic expectations for what we can reach.
Move-In Cleaning Is Different from Routine House Cleaning
Move-In Cleaning is intended for the transition into a residence, ideally while surfaces remain accessible before unpacking. Recurring House Cleaning is designed to maintain an occupied home through weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly visits.
Deep Cleaning serves a different purpose for occupied homes that need a more detailed reset. If you are leaving a previous residence, Move-Out Cleaning is the transition service organized around handover after belongings are removed.
Detailed Cleaning with Care for the Property
Sleek Home uses carefully selected products, surface-aware methods, and HEPA-focused cleaning where appropriate. For tougher issues, stronger products may be used carefully and only when needed.
The products and methods used depend on the surface, condition, and task being addressed.

Frequently asked questions
When should I schedule Move-In Cleaning?
The most useful window is after you have access to the residence and before boxes and furniture make detailed cleaning more difficult. Share your expected access date and move timing when you request an estimate so Robert or Maggie can help plan the visit.
Does the home need to be completely empty?
No. Empty or lightly furnished spaces both can work. Greater accessibility generally improves what we can reach and how efficiently the visit goes. Tell us what will be in the home so we can set clear expectations.
What is included in Move-In Cleaning?
Scope is agreed in advance and depends on the property’s condition, accessible surfaces, and your priorities. Typical plans emphasize kitchens, bathrooms, storage surfaces that are empty and accessible, floors, and dust and detail areas — with expectations confirmed before we arrive.
Do you clean inside cabinets or appliances?
Cabinet and drawer interiors may be included when they are empty, accessible, and part of the agreed scope. Our listed appliance care focuses on exteriors. If items remain inside cabinets or drawers, tell us in advance so we can explain what we can realistically reach.
Do you bring cleaning products and equipment?
Yes. We bring our own cleaning products, microfiber cloths, vacuum, mop system, and basic tools needed for the visit. If you have a product you prefer for a specific surface, let us know during scheduling so we can decide whether it fits the job and the material.
