Move-out cleaning in Oakville
Landlords, agents and buyers all inspect the same way: they open things. Cupboards, the oven, closets, the fridge. An empty home shows every mark furniture used to hide, and nothing can be skipped. That's why the move-in / move-out upgrade covers the detail a regular visit never reaches, and why the big-ticket interiors are listed separately so you decide which ones your hand-over needs.
- Door frames, door tops and handles throughout
- Skirting, corners and floor edges done properly with the rooms clear
- Inside every closet and built-in wardrobe
- Baseboards, door frames, switch plates and handles
- Light fixtures, vents and ceiling fans
- Window sills and tracks; the glass is a home package from +$43, based on size and bedrooms
- Marks and scuffs left behind by furniture
- Bathrooms and kitchen in full detail where you add them: grout, tile, shower tracks, taps descaled
- Add-ons only when you want them: inside oven from +$21, inside fridge +$43, inside cabinets +$32
Move-in cleaning
A move-in clean is for the home you're about to live in. You don't know who lived there, what was in those cupboards, or when the oven was last touched. Add the cabinet interiors and the oven and fridge to the build and it's done before your plates go in, which is much cheaper and far easier than after you unpack.
For the home you are moving into, see what to clean before you unpack, including kitchen preparation and optional appliance interiors.
Timing it right
For a sale or end of lease, book the day after the home is empty and at least a day before your final walkthrough. Closing season in Oakville runs heavy from April through August, give us two weeks' notice in those months if you need a specific date.
Real estate cleaning for Oakville listings
Selling rather than moving? Agents book us before photography and again before the first open house. It's the same empty-home clean, timed differently, floors, glass and bathrooms done last so nothing has time to mark. If the home is still occupied we'll work around the staging rather than moving it.
Taking possession of a new build? That's a post-construction clean, not a move-in clean. We do the same empty-home clean in Burlington and Milton.

Move-in & move-out questions
Will the agreed cleaning price increase on arrival?
Choose rooms and tasks at published prices. We confirm scope, package price and visit hours when booking. Prices rely on your property details and online selections. If the home is larger, its condition is worse than described, or more work is needed, staff explain the extra time and price on-site. Extra charges apply only if you agree before that work continues. No unapproved charges are added.
How much does move-out cleaning cost in Oakville?
A 900 sq ft 3-bedroom Oakville home with two bathrooms and the kitchen is $322 as a move-out clean before HST; inside oven from +$21 and fridge +$43 and inside the cabinets +$32, added only if you want them. A one-bedroom condo starts at $176.
What's included that a normal clean doesn't cover?
The move-in / move-out upgrade is the Deep level of detail on an empty home: baseboards, door frames and door tops, switches and handles, sills and tracks, closets and built-in shelving wiped inside, and the marks furniture used to hide. Inside the oven, inside the fridge, inside the kitchen cabinets and interior windows are separate add-ons with their own prices, so they are only done when you add them, and you see the total before you book.
When should I book it?
For a sale or end of lease, book the day after the home is empty and at least a day before your final walkthrough or key handover. For a move-in, we'd suggest the day before your furniture arrives. Give us two weeks' notice in spring and summer, closing season is busy.
Will it be enough to get my deposit back?
In our experience yes, for a normal tenancy. What we can't fix is damage, holes, stains that have set into carpet, or scratched floors. We'll tell you honestly on arrival if we see something a clean won't solve, rather than after we've invoiced you.
Do you clean new builds before move-in?
Yes, and that's usually a post-construction clean rather than a move-in clean, new builds carry drywall dust and sticker residue that need a different approach. If you're taking possession in Upper Joshua Creek, ask for that instead.
What if I'm not happy with the clean?
Tell us within 24 hours of service completion about missed or poorly cleaned work within the agreed service, and we will arrange to put it right at no charge. Unbooked extras and new mess are excluded. Statutory rights remain unchanged.
