What move-in / move-out cleaning looks like with AF Cleaning
Move-out cleaning has an audience: a landlord holding a deposit, a buyer doing a final walkthrough, or a family arriving with a moving truck. We clean vacant units end to end — inside cabinets, inside closets, inside appliances — so the handover happens without a second visit.
Inside everything
Cabinets, drawers, closets, oven and fridge are cleaned inside as standard, not as paid extras.
Deposit-focused checklist
We work from the items landlords and property managers actually inspect first.
Tight moving windows
Same-day and evening slots around elevator bookings, key handovers and closing times.
What's included — and what isn't
No vague promises. This is the written scope your estimate is based on.

Move-In / Move-Out questions we're asked most
Still unsure? Message us on WhatsApp and we'll answer honestly, even if the answer is no.
Yes — completely empty gives the best result and the fairest price. If a few boxes remain we'll work around them, but we can't clean inside a closet that's still full.
Our checklist is built around what property managers inspect: appliances, cabinets, bathrooms, floors and trim. If your lease lists specific requirements, send them over and we'll match the scope.
Often yes, including evenings. Book early — closing days cluster at month end and those slots fill first.
