Important Cleaning Checklist Notes
This checklist is a general guide and does not guarantee that every item will apply to every home. Cleaning results may vary depending on the condition of the property, buildup, clutter, time allowed, safety concerns, and whether areas are accessible.
Move-in and move-out cleaning works best when the home is empty and personal belongings have been removed. Inside cabinets, drawers, refrigerators, and ovens may require the home to be empty and accessible at the time of service.
