Move-in cleaning in Brentwood is the most important cleaning you will arrange for a new home — it is your one chance to reset every surface before your possessions land, and your one chance to inspect for problems while everything is empty and visible. Here is how to choose the right team for the job.
When to Schedule Your Move-In Clean
Schedule the cleaning for AFTER the prior owner has fully vacated and BEFORE your furniture and possessions arrive. The ideal window is 24-72 hours before move-in day. This gives:
- Empty cabinets, drawers, and closets to clean thoroughly
- Clear floors for deep cleaning without obstruction
- Light fixtures and HVAC vents accessible
- Time to address any issues uncovered (loose hinges, dead outlets, etc.)
What a Brentwood Move-In Clean Should Cover
- Inside every cabinet and drawer in kitchen and bathrooms
- Inside refrigerator, oven, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine
- All closets vacuumed and wiped
- Light fixtures, ceiling fans, HVAC vents
- All windows interior
- Baseboards, crown molding, door frames
- Floors deep cleaned with surface-appropriate products
- Inspection notes provided for issues found during cleaning
