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.
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.

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.

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