Moving can be one of the most stressful life events, but getting your security deposit back shouldn’t be. Whether you are a tenant wanting that refund or a homeowner preparing for a sale, a thorough deep clean is essential. At Spacely Clean, we’ve perfected the move-out process. Follow our ultimate checklist to ensure every corner shines.

1. The Kitchen: Degrease and Sanitize

The kitchen is often the most time-consuming area. Focus on:

• Appliances: Clean the inside and outside of the oven, microwave, and dishwasher. Don’t forget to pull out the fridge and vacuum behind it.
• Cabinets: Wipe down the interiors and tops of all cupboards to remove dust and crumbs.
• Sink & Countertops: Scrub away stains and polish faucets.

2. Bathrooms: Eliminate Grime

Sparkling bathrooms are a must for any inspection.

• Scrub the Tiles: Remove soap scum from shower walls and bathtubs.
• Sanitize the Toilet: Clean thoroughly, including the base and behind the tank.
• Mirrors & Glass: Use a streak-free cleaner for all glass surfaces.

3. Living Areas & Bedrooms

• Dust Everything: Ceiling fans, light fixtures, and baseboards often collect the most dust.
• Windows: Clean the tracks and sills, and wipe down the glass.
• Walls: Remove scuff marks and patch small nail holes if required by your lease.

4. Floors: The Final Touch

Always save the floors for last so you don’t track dirt back in.

• Vacuum: Get into the corners and edges of carpeted rooms.
• Mop: Use a floor-appropriate cleaner for hardwood, tile, or laminate.

Short on time? Moving is hard enough without the heavy scrubbing. Let the professionals at Spacely Clean handle the dirty work for you!
