How to Get Your Security Deposit Back with a One Time Cleaning Service

Life is messy, and so is a home rental. You can't prevent every scuff and stain from affecting the place where you live. If you have kids, pets, or if you occasionally move your furniture, small amounts of damage are bound to occur. There are always little accidents that scratch the floor, stain the counter, or scuff a wall. These should count as normal wear-and-tear, but it's also common for landlords to keep some or all of the security deposit for things like almost-gone carpet stains and scuffs.

So, what's your best way to keep all of your security deposit with no way your landlord can justify a deduction? Often, your best solution is to hire a one-time cleaning service. One-time cleaning is almost always a deep clean, meaning every corner gets scrubbed. Many cleaning services like ours have a special move-out cleaning service designed to get every last removable stain and scuff, with advice on solutions that cleaning won't fix.

Professional Move-Out Cleaning Saves Time and Money

If you don't have a lot of spare time between work and packing to worry about the final clean, professionals can really save you both time and money. Deep cleaning takes effort and if you don't have all the right equipment and expertise to get every last stain and crumb, there's a good chance you'll miss something even with exhausting effort. A cleaning service will bring a multi-person team who will split up the work to get into every nook, cranny, and carpet fiber.

You'll save yourself time, then save on both cleaning supplies and getting your security deposit back. Getting all your things safely to the new place or sorted out is enough effort for any week. A cleaning team will be able to focus without the distraction of moving and with the expertise of practiced professionals.

Why We Will Ace Your Move-Out Inspection

Why can a cleaning team win back more (or all) of your security deposit? Because we know landlords. Landlords and property managers regularly hire cleaning services to help with turnover after messy tenants or renovations, to make sure units are clean for the next tenant. So we know what their standards are. We know what is on their checklists and what they take photos of. We also know how nice it is to move into a perfectly clean house for the next residents of your space.

You can count on a professional cleaning team to know what your landlord will look for and work to impress them when they look.

One-Time Clean or Move-Out Clean

When you're planning to ace your move-out inspection, there are two types of cleaning you can ask for from your cleaning service. If you're not fully moved out yet (and may not have an extra day after the truck leaves), you can ask for a one-time home cleaning. This is a one-day deep cleaning focusing on everything that can be reached with your current furniture placement.

If you have emptied your home and want to make sure every dark spot, scuff, and cobweb is gone, ask for a move-out cleaning which takes the cleaning to the corner of every baseboard and behind every appliance while the home is empty and accessible.
