Move-In & Move-Out Cleaning in Edmonton, AB

Move Out Cleaning Edmonton — Why a professional move-out clean usually pays for itself

The math on a move-out clean in Edmonton is more favourable than most renters realise. A typical Alberta residential security deposit is one month’s rent, which for a two-bedroom rental is anywhere from $1,500 to $2,500. Landlords are legally entitled to deduct cleaning costs from the deposit, and the cleaning bill they hire out tends to come back at $400 to $900 depending on scope. They also tend to be far less forgiving than you would be cleaning your own place.

A professional move-out clean from us starts at $650 and is usually all-in for an average 2–3 bedroom rental. The result is a home that passes the inspection on the first walk-through. No deductions, no callback, no awkward emails three weeks after you’ve already moved.

What a move-out clean covers (the full list)

The move-out service is built around the idea that nothing should slow down the walk-through. Here’s the complete scope:

• Inside the dishwasher, including the door seal and filter
• Inside the microwave
• Inside every cabinet and drawer — emptied, wiped, debris vacuumed
• Range hood interior and exterior
• All counters, backsplash, faucets, sink polished
• Floor swept, mopped, including under appliances if they’re moved out

Bathrooms

• Inside every cabinet and drawer
• Tub or shower scrubbed including grout, glass de-spotted
• Toilet inside, outside, and base

• Eco-friendly product upgrade — from $15
• Same-day or rush surcharge — from $30 when we can fit it in

Move-in cleaning, the other direction

Move-in cleaning uses the same checklist as move-out cleaning. The only difference is the home is empty, the previous tenants have already left, and you want to know what you’re walking into. We typically run a move-in clean before furniture arrives, which is the fastest and most thorough version of the service. Inside cabinets, ovens, and fridges all get reset before your kitchen goes in.

Scheduling around your closing or move date

For move-outs, we schedule the clean for the day after you finish moving everything out, or sometimes the same day if you’re done by noon. For move-ins, we book before your furniture arrives whenever possible. We can usually accommodate tight timelines with 1–2 weeks of notice. For closing dates inside that window, send us a message and we’ll do our best.

Realtors and property managers

We work regularly with Edmonton realtors and property managers, especially in southwest Edmonton, Sherwood Park, and St. Albert. Standing-relationship pricing is available for property managers with multi-unit volume. If you need a Certificate of Insurance sent directly to a property management company, we’ll handle it.

Frequently asked questions

Will this pass my landlord’s inspection?

In seven years of recurring move-out work, we have never had a deposit get withheld from one of our cleaned move-outs. We’ve had landlords ask for our business card. If anything is flagged at the inspection, we come back and re-clean within 48 hours at no charge.

Should I be there for the clean?

Up to you. Most clients drop a key with us or leave a lockbox code. We text photos when we’re done.

What if I have pets and a lot of pet hair?

Add the pet-hair cleanup. It includes detailed vacuuming of carpets, upholstery, and corners, with attention to baseboards where hair collects.

Do you clean exterior windows?

No. Interior windows yes, exterior no. Exterior windows in Edmonton typically need a specialist with a water-fed pole.
