As a cleaning company we are prepared for this type of work in seasons as in May to August we work so much in “move out cleanings” Our company is located in Santa Barbara, CA a tourist place that is why we have many jobs of move out cleaning

We have a lot of experience in these types of jobs as well as in giving move out cleaning prices, so we can help you with your questions!

First of all you have to know that each company works differently, some charge for the whole cleaning project, “Flat Price” and others prefer to go hourly.

What is the difference?

They vary in how much per hour they charge, but in reality the price does not change much.
Example: If a company charges approximately 35 per hour, they will see how much time would be spent doing the bathroom, kitchen and rooms, take out those hours and multiply it by $ 35 and this is how they will give you an “exact price” but you will actually pay at 35 per hour..

That is what I mean when i say that there is not much difference between hours and “flat price or exact price” so I advise you to ask the cleaning companies what their average hourly rate is per cleaner.

The extras maybe you want to add only if you want to return your deposit to the maximum, here we explain better that you require for your landlord to return your deposit: move out cleaning checklist for tenant.

Something that you should also keep in mind is that you must be sure that they have the correct cleaning supplies for this type of cleaning, the correct supplies and knowing how to use them make a big difference for this type of cleaning.

It is convenient to hire a company for this type of work?

For works of move out cleaning or move in cleaning it is advisable that you hire a professional company in your locality, since sometimes the landlords are usually very demanding with this type of cleaning, depending how clean you leave the place they will return the deposit or for at least you will not be charged extra.
Maybe you think about doing it yourself, but from our experience this type of work is very heavy and takes many hours and specials products in some circumstances.

Advantages of Cleaning Services For A Move Out Cleaning

Maybe you think about doing the cleaning after moving yourself as I mentioned before and it’s fine as long as it does not require a deep cleaning, because believe me that type of cleaning is usually very heavy and considering that you have to move all the furniture, call to the gas , water, electricity, internet to cancel services and other things that must be done when moving so that you have to clean up for your landlord to return your deposit or at least not charge more, if you have enough energy no problem go and do it but to make your life easier, we advise that cleaning professionals from your locality take charge.

On the other hand also your  landlord will clean your old place or hire a professional company. Then he or she will take the price of the cleaning out of your rental deposit.

The price for your landlord to clean your place will be higher than for you. Why? Because your landlord has no incentive to find cheap cleaning service — you’re the one paying the bill.

If you really want your money back contact the best house cleaning Santa Barbara, CA ( if you are near areas)

  1. My husband just got a promotion so we are moving out of the state. Your information that house cleaning service prices don’t vary that much is very helpful. With that in mind, I will just pay attention to the services they offer and their online reviews. https://www.greatvibescleaning.com/

  2. Great job! Do you outline all of your blog posts? I’ve read a few of them now and they are way higher quality than other blogs I’ve read.

  3. Nicholas Underwood

    Isn’t the price of cleaning something that may fluctuate depending upon the demand rates and methods of cleaning. I just wanted to know if there any new update on cleaning cost, please let us know. Thank you. Visit us @ https://www.sparkleoffice.com.au/

  4. I clean houses myself on the side. These prices are very well priced and accurate. What people don’t realize (who aren’t cleaning) is the time put in, the labor, the travel, the personal profit, the materials used, and how sore and tired your hands and fingertips are when done scrubbing filth of a home that is not your own. Please be appreciative of people who clean, it takes the right kind of person to get a thorough job. Reviews on who you hire means a lot!

  5. When I began cleaning rental properties I’d misjudge the time it would take to do a deep cleaning To look at a place didn’t seem like much. Amazing what you find hidden along the way. I do all the work myself and try to knock it out in one day. It can be back-breaking and tiring. I am very thorough and a perfectionist. My goal is to have windows, floors, blinds, windows, tubs, showers, toilets, sinks, stoves, dishwashers, everything look new again!

    I agree that most landlords will require a much deeper cleaning than most people are willing to put forth. Especially when moving into a new home or apartment is top of mind. Thanks for the article.
