Leave It Right Before You Go

Tucson snowbirds face a specific challenge when heading north for summer. The home will sit closed through dust storms, heat, and monsoon rains. Food residue attracts pests. Damp surfaces grow mold. Dusty counters become a full layer of grit by fall. A closing clean done right before you leave means less damage and a much easier opening when you return.

Empty the Fridge First

Arizona heat can reach 110 degrees or more. Any food left in a powered-down or loosely closed fridge will cause mold or odor that is very hard to remove. We wipe the interior clean after you have emptied it, for $50 extra.

Clean Drains and Surfaces

Standing moisture in sinks and showers can attract pests and grow mold through a hot summer. We wipe down surfaces and dry areas that hold water so the home is as sealed and dry as possible when you lock up.

Peace of Mind for 6 Months

You will not be back until October or November. Knowing the home was professionally cleaned before the lock-and-leave means less worry about what you will find when you return.

What a Closing Clean Covers

  • All surface areas dusted and wiped: counters, shelves, cabinet fronts
  • Bathrooms scrubbed: sinks, toilets, showers, and tile wiped dry
  • Kitchen cleaned and surfaces disinfected
  • All floors vacuumed and mopped
  • Window sills and tracks cleared of dust and grit
  • Baseboards cleaned throughout
  • Fridge interior wiped down after emptying (add-on, $50)
  • Oven interior cleaned (add-on, $50)

Pricing and What to Do Before We Arrive

Alex's charges flat rates for closing cleans. A 1 to 2 bedroom home runs $389. Most Tucson snowbird homes have 3 to 4 bedrooms and run $499. A 5 to 6 bedroom home is $649. Add the fridge at $50 and the oven at $50 if applicable. We do not do laundry or restock supplies. We focus on the surfaces, floors, and fixtures that need attention before a long vacancy.

Before we arrive, empty the fridge and pantry of perishables, take out trash, and set your thermostat to 85 degrees or the temperature recommended by your HVAC tech for summer vacancy. We will handle the rest. Our crew of 3 to 4 cleaners typically finishes in one visit. We accept cash, check, and Zelle.

Snowbird Closing Clean Tucson az FAQ

When should I book the closing clean before leaving?

Book for the day before or the day of your departure. You want the home freshly cleaned and then locked up. Booking a week early and then living in it defeats the purpose.

Do you treat drains or use pest-preventive products?

We wipe and dry surfaces but do not apply pest-prevention chemicals or drain treatments. For that level of service, a pest control company is the right call. We handle the cleaning side.

Can I add baseboards and interior windows to the closing clean?

Yes. Baseboards are $50 and interior windows are $100. Many snowbirds add both since they want the home spotless before locking it for summer.
