Move-In Cleaning in Aledo, TX
Move-in cleaning is a detailed clean of the home you are about to move into, done before furniture arrives: builder dust or the previous owner’s grime is removed from inside cabinets, drawers, closets, appliances, vents, window tracks and floors.
About this service
The easiest time to clean a house is the one moment it will ever be empty: after closing and before the movers arrive. A move-in cleaning makes sure every shelf, drawer and closet is clean before your dishes, clothes and linens go into it.
In new construction, the problem is builder dust. Fine drywall dust and sawdust settle inside cabinets, on door tops, in vents and window tracks, and keep drifting out of the ductwork for months. In a resale home, it is the previous owner’s kitchen grease, bathroom build-up and whatever is behind the refrigerator. We clean for both.

Questions
Move-In Cleaning FAQ
When should I schedule a move-in cleaning?
Between closing and move-in day, once the builder or sellers are finished and before furniture arrives. An empty home can be cleaned faster and more thoroughly than one full of boxes.
Is a builder clean enough for a new home?
Builder cleans usually remove debris and wipe visible surfaces. Fine construction dust tends to remain inside cabinets and drawers, on door tops, in vents and in window tracks, which is what a move-in cleaning targets.
Can you clean a new Walsh Ranch home before we move in?
Yes, as long as the builder or seller grants access. Most buyers schedule the move-in cleaning between closing and move-in day.
How long does a move-in cleaning take?
An empty three- to four-bedroom home typically takes a team of two four to six hours. New construction with heavy dust, and larger homes, take longer. We size the team so the work finishes in one visit.
