Move-In / Move-Out Cleaning

Moving is stressful enough. We hand the home over clean enough to pass inspection: inside every cabinet, drawer, and closet, inside the oven and fridge, interior windows, baseboards, and a full kitchen and bath detail. Landlords and realtors love it because the checklist is built to get deposits back. A walk-through with a flashlight won't turn up a thing, and neither would your Mother-in-Law.

What a deposit walk-through actually checks

Moves and lease turns happen year-round, with a spring spike. We clean the empty home to the standard your Mother-in-Law would apply on a walk-through, so the deposit comes back.

Good to know

Answers before your Mother-in-Law asks

What is the Mother-in-Law Test?
The Mother-in-Law Test is the cleanliness standard every M.I.L. Cleaners visit is held to — the bar a sharp-eyed mother-in-law sets when she runs a finger along the shelf. No grit in the shower track, no fingerprints on the stainless fridge, baseboards you can run a finger along, dusted fan blades. It names the spots on purpose, so you can walk the house after a visit and check them yourself.
How much does house cleaning cost?
M.I.L. Cleaners prices by home size — you see your exact price on the site before you book, with no surprises on the invoice. Recurring plans save you more than one-time, and your first recurring visit is a deep clean so we start from a clean baseline.
How does pricing work?
Tell us your home size, the type of clean, and how often you'd like us. In a market we already serve, your price shows on that market's page before you book. Everywhere else the calculator takes the same details and a local team gives you the exact price on the spot, because each market sets its own rates. For a home in normal, lived-in condition, that price is what you pay. No hidden fees, no surprises on the invoice. The rare home that needs heavy extra work first gets a revised price you approve before we start, and nothing gets added after.
Are your cleaners background-checked and insured?
Yes. Every cleaner is background-checked (state and federal), interviewed in person, and trained to our checklist before they ever set foot in your home. That's the same standard you'd want before you handed someone a key. M.I.L. Cleaners is fully bonded and insured, and a Certificate of Insurance is available on request.
What happens if a clean misses something?
Tell your local crew what they missed and where, with a photo if you have one. You get a real person rather than a ticket queue. The same background-checked crew is back at your address next visit, which is the part that actually fixes it — they learn your home instead of rediscovering it. And nothing holds you here: there is no contract, so if the standard stops being met you can stop booking the same week.
Do I need to be home during the cleaning?
Not at all. Most clients give us secure entry instructions when they book. Your card stays securely on file and is only charged after the service is complete, so there's nothing to hand over in person. Come home to a house that looks like your Mother-in-Law is already on her way over.

The same crew every visit, working a written room-by-room list, and one bar to clear: the fan blade, the shower track, the baseboard she would run a finger along.
