Move In / Move Out Cleaning
The clean that happens while the rooms are still empty.
What it is
An empty home is the one chance to clean what furniture normally covers: the floor under the wardrobe, the inside of every cabinet, the back of the closet. This service is built around that window, whether you are handing a place back or taking one on.
What is usually included
Scope is agreed between you and the cleaner, so treat this as the shape of the job rather than a contract. Anything you need that is not here belongs in your request notes.
- Kitchen, including inside cabinets and drawers
- Bathrooms, fixtures and any built-in storage
- Floors throughout, including where furniture stood
- Dusting of empty rooms, shelving and fittings
- Doors, trim, frames and switch plates
- Inside closets and accessible built-ins
- Removal of ordinary household dirt and build-up
- A final pass based on the condition of the property
Add-ons you can tick in the request form: Inside Fridge, Oven Cleaning, Windows (in/out), Carpet Cleaning.
When people ask for it

What happens after you send the request
You describe the job
Your ZIP code, the property details, the day you want and anything specific. It takes a couple of minutes and costs nothing.
It reaches cleaners near you
Only professionals whose service area covers your ZIP, who offer this type of cleaning, and whose ID has been approved by our team.
One of them replies
The first available cleaner takes the request and a conversation opens, where you can ask about scope, timing and price.
You accept or decline
Look at their profile and rating, then decide. If you decline, the request goes back out to another cleaner automatically.
You pay the cleaner directly
Requesting costs you nothing. The price is what you and the cleaner agree, and it is paid to them, not to Verliks.
Worth having ready
Say whether the property will be completely empty and when access starts and ends, since this work is usually pinned between a moving truck and a handover. If a landlord or agency gave you a checklist, share it in the notes — it is the clearest possible brief.
Questions about move in / move out cleaning
Will this guarantee I get my deposit back?
No, and anyone promising that is guessing. A deposit depends on your landlord, your lease and the state of the property beyond cleanliness. What you can do is share their checklist with the cleaner so the work targets what will actually be inspected.
Should the home be empty first?
Ideally yes, because the value of this clean is reaching what furniture normally blocks. If some items will still be there, say which rooms, so the estimate reflects what can really be done.
How much does this cost?
There is no fixed price. It depends on the property, its condition, the scope, your location and the professional. The cleaner who takes your request discusses it with you in the conversation, before anything is booked.
Can I ask for a specific cleaner?
Yes. You can send a request straight to a professional whose profile you have seen, and it goes to them rather than into the general matching. If they are not available, the request falls back to cleaners near you.
Does every cleaner offer this service?
No. Each professional lists the types of cleaning they take on, and requests are only matched to cleaners who offer this one and who cover your area.
Can I add extra work to the request?
Describe it in the notes when you send the request. The cleaner confirms in the conversation what they include and whether the extra work is something they can do.
