  • How much does move-out house cleaning cost?

    A 2-hour move-out clean starts from $138 at our lowest hourly rate. Prices vary by location and home size, and empty-home cleans often take longer than 2 hours, so the app suggests hours for your home and shows the full price before you book. Every booking has a 2-hour minimum. See house cleaning prices.

  • What areas do you service?

    We provide services in the U.S., Canada and the U.K. See our service areas to confirm availability in your location.

  • Do I need to provide cleaning supplies?

    You can use your own, or choose and pay for “Bring your cleaning supplies” when you book. A vacuum, mop and broom aren’t included.

  • How do I schedule a move-out cleaning?

    Book in the Cleanster app or at app.cleanster.com. Choose Move-Out as the clean type, enter your home details and pick a time. You can also call us at 1-415-906-5605.

  • What if I'm not satisfied with the cleaning?

    Every clean has our 48-hour Happiness Guarantee. Tell us within 48 hours with photos and a short description, and we’ll work with you to make it right. Support is available 8:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. CT.

  • Do you offer move-in cleaning?

    Yes. There’s no separate move-in option. Book a Move-Out clean for the empty home you’re moving into, and it covers the same inside-cabinet, appliance and baseboard detail.

  • What's the difference between a move-out clean and a deep clean?

    Both go beyond a standard clean. A move-out clean is designed for an empty home, so it includes inside cabinets, appliances and baseboards. A deep clean is for a lived-in home that needs a thorough reset.

  • When should I book my move-out cleaning?

    After the movers have taken everything out and before you hand back the keys. If you’re moving in, book it before your furniture arrives. Moving out of a rental unit? See apartment and condo cleaning for studios to 2-bedrooms.

  • Can I book move-out cleaning when selling my home?

    Yes. Book it after the home is empty and before photos, showings or closing.

  • Should the utilities be on?

    Yes. Your cleaner needs running water and electricity.
