Move-Out Cleaning Tips to Help Protect Your Deposit
Sep 2026 4 min read
Landlords tend to check the same spots. Here's where to focus your move-out clean so the inspection goes smoothly.
Start with an empty home
Cleaning is faster and more thorough once furniture and boxes are out. Plan the clean for after the movers leave.
Focus on kitchens and bathrooms
Inside the oven, inside the refrigerator, cabinet interiors, sinks, tubs, toilets, and tile are the areas inspectors look at most closely.
Don't forget the details
Wipe baseboards, doors, light switches, and window sills. Vacuum closets and check for marks on walls.
Review your lease for any specific cleaning requirements before you start.
