Move-in and move-out cleaning in Albuquerque
Cleaning for the day the boxes are gone. We reach inside cabinets, appliances, and closets, and clean every surface the next person will touch.
Moving
Moving out this month?
A move-out clean is the last job on a long list, and the one that gets skipped when everyone is tired. We take it off your plate.
With the furniture gone, we can reach inside cabinets and drawers, scrub the oven and the tub, wipe down closets, and clean floors edge to edge. It is the kind of clean a landlord, an agent, or a buyer notices right away.
Move-in cleaning is the mirror image. You are about to put your things in this place, and you want the last occupant's dust and fingerprints gone first.
We also work with property managers and landlords on rental turnovers, where a unit has to be ready for the next tenant. Tell us the move date and the size of the place, and we will plan the visit around it.

For tenants, landlords, and new owners
This service suits tenants about to return the keys, sellers getting ready for showings, new owners before the first night, and property managers between leases. If the home has been lived in hard, say so when you call.
A move clean is more detailed than a regular visit, and knowing the condition helps us plan the work and give you a fair estimate. It can be a one-time visit or a repeat arrangement for units that turn often.
Move days in the high desert
Empty homes in Albuquerque collect dust fast, and spring wind makes it worse. Moving boxes drag grit across every floor, and monsoon afternoons turn move-out traffic into mud at the entry.
Evaporative coolers leave mineral residue on vents and sills, older tubs show hard water rings, and Saltillo or other tile floors need attention in the grout lines once the rugs and furniture are gone. Closets and garage corners hold more dust than people expect.

Amazing move-out cleaning! Everything was spotless and looked better than I expected. Very professional, thorough, and reliable. Highly recommend Albuquerque Cleaning Specialist!

Questions
Move-In / Move-Out Cleaning questions
Does the home need to be empty first?
An empty home is easier to clean well, because we can reach inside cabinets, closets, and corners that furniture blocks. If a few items are still there, tell us when you call and we will plan around them. Mention anything that is staying so the estimate fits the real job.
Can you clean a rental between tenants?
Yes. Property managers and landlords can call us for turnovers, and we can talk through a repeat arrangement if you manage several units. Share the size and condition of each unit when you call, and we will go over access details and the scope of the clean.
How do I get a price for a move clean?
Call (505) 364-0676 or send the form with your move date, the size of the home, and which kind of move it is, in or out. The estimate is free, and we will talk through the details with you before putting a quote together.
