How Long Does Move-In Cleaning Take?

An empty home cleans faster than a furnished one. Without furniture to work around, Alex's crew of 3 to 4 can move efficiently through every room. Most Tucson move-in cleans are completed the same day or the day after you get your keys. Scheduling the clean before your furniture arrives gives the crew full access to floors, cabinets, and appliances. That results in a more thorough clean in less time.

1 to 2 Bedrooms: About 2 to 3.5 Hours

A small empty home or apartment takes 2 to 3.5 hours for a crew of 3 to 4. This covers all surfaces, floors, bathrooms, and kitchen. Add-ons like fridge or oven add 30 to 45 minutes each.

3 to 4 Bedrooms: About 3.5 to 6 Hours

Medium homes with 2 to 3 bathrooms run 3.5 to 6 hours. Empty layout speeds up floor work significantly. Inside cabinets, closets, and appliances are all included.

5 Bedrooms or Larger: 6 Hours or More

Large homes or very detailed cleans take 6 or more hours even for an experienced crew. These homes also benefit most from our full add-on package including windows and cabinets.

What a Move-In Clean Covers

Move-In Cleaning Pricing

Move-in cleaning starts at $379. Homes in heavily soiled condition add $150. We accept cash, check, and Zelle. Scheduling for the day after contract close is a popular choice. Your furniture stays in the truck while we work, and you move into a truly clean home.

How Long Does Move in Cleaning Take in Tucson FAQ

Should I book the clean before or after my furniture arrives?

Book it before. An empty home allows our crew full access to floors, walls, and appliances. You get a faster and more thorough clean when the home is empty.

Can you clean the same day I get my keys?

Usually we need a few days advance notice to reserve a slot. Book as soon as you know your closing or lease start date. Same-day booking is not guaranteed.

Is same-day cleaning available?

Same-day cleaning is usually not available. It depends on the schedule. Weekends are not available.
