Before the appointment
- Remove personal belongings, furniture and loose trash.
- Keep water and electricity active through completion.
- Confirm parking, building entry, elevators and loading rules.
- Share lockbox, key, gate or concierge instructions securely.
- Identify any deadline for keys, inspection or property handoff.
Choose the interior add-ons
Do not assume every empty-home service automatically includes the inside of appliances or cabinets. Select the refrigerator, oven and cabinet interiors if the property requires them. Interior windows, blinds and patios may also need separate scope.
Los Angeles planning tip: building access and parking can determine the feasible arrival window. Share those details before the date is confirmed.
At completion
- Confirm all approved rooms and add-ons were addressed.
- Review any exclusions or pre-existing damage notes.
- Verify doors and windows are secure.
- Confirm how keys, fobs or codes are returned or closed.
- Keep the completion record for your handoff.
What is not move-out cleaning?
Construction debris, hazardous materials, pest or mold treatment, exterior work and restoration are outside a normal residential cleaning scope and should be arranged separately.
