Questions about move out cleaning
Call Milan to discuss the scope and timing for your space.
Do you clean inside kitchen cabinets for move in or move out?
Yes, for both move in cleaning and move out cleaning, we offer interior cabinet cleaning.
We remove dust, crumbs, spills, and residue from drawer interiors and cabinet shelves so your kitchen is fully cleaned inside and out before occupancy.
How do I get a price for move out cleaning?
Call Milan at (510) 759-6310 with the size and condition of your home and the work you need. Residential estimates are prepared by phone, without an in-home walkthrough first.
What should I share about my move-out deadline?
Tell Milan the date and time of the handover or inspection, when movers will be finished, and who will have the keys. Confirm the cleaning time with Milan before your handover.
What can add to the cost of a move-out clean?
Additional-fee work can include blinds, extreme grease and grime buildup, and heavy hard-water removal. Describe those conditions when discussing the estimate.
Does furniture or storage left in the home affect the plan?
Tell Milan what furniture, boxes or other belongings will remain and where they will be. The cleaning scope should be confirmed around those conditions; do not assume furniture moving is included.
What access details matter for an apartment move-out?
Share entrance and key arrangements, stairs or elevator access, parking or unloading instructions, and the contact for completion. Do not assume the team has access instructions from the landlord.
