Move In/Out Cleaning in Davis

$55/hr per cleaner in Davis — quoted up front. Starting at $375.

A large share of Davis's move-in and move-out cleans are timed to the university's academic calendar, especially near the Downtown Core and University Avenue — a different rhythm than the year-round pace of a typical rental market elsewhere in the metro.
Move cleaning is different from a regular visit because the home is empty and the audience is different: a landlord with a checklist, a buyer doing a walk-through, or you, moving into a house someone else just left. We clean the surfaces that furniture normally hides and inspections always find: inside every cabinet and drawer, inside the oven and refrigerator, window tracks, baseboards, closet shelving and the floors under where appliances stood. For move-outs we work against the same kind of checklist a property manager uses, because that is what the deposit decision is based on. For move-ins we treat it as the one chance to clean the home while it is still empty — after the boxes arrive, half of these surfaces disappear for years.
Move-outs near campus in Davis are often timed to the academic calendar rather than spread evenly through the year.

Neighborhoods we cover: Downtown Core, Mace Ranch, North Davis Farms, Village Homes, Aggie Village

How we do Move In/Out Cleaning

  1. You send the address, square footage and the move date; you get a clear starting price, confirmed once we see the home.
  2. The home must be empty or boxed — we confirm access and utilities the day before.
  3. The crew works top-down, room by room: cabinets and appliances first, floors last.
  4. Kitchen and bathrooms get the inspection-grade pass: descaling, degreasing, tracks.
  5. You or your agent walk the home against the checklist before the crew leaves.

Safety and limits

  • Utilities must be on: hot water and power are required for oven and bathroom work.
  • Oven and descaling chemistry is ventilated and never mixed; products leave with the crew.

A family leaving a managed rental needed the home to pass a line-by-line inspection to recover the full deposit.

The crew eight hours on site: every cabinet and drawer cleaned inside, oven and refrigerator interiors, full descale of three bathrooms, window tracks and patio door channels, baseboards by hand, edge-to-edge floors.

Frequently asked questions

Does the home have to be empty?

Empty or at least boxed. We clean inside cabinets, closets and appliances — surfaces we physically cannot reach in a furnished, unpacked home. Utilities must still be on.

Do you handle the academic-year rush for Davis move-outs?

Yes — near-campus move-outs here often cluster around the school calendar, and we work within that timing.

Is inside the oven and fridge really included?

Yes. In move cleaning they are the point, not an add-on: they are the two items landlords and buyers check first.

Is a Mace Ranch move-out different from one near campus?

Not in scope, just generally less likely to be timed to the academic calendar.

Do you guarantee my deposit back?

No one can honestly guarantee a deposit — it also depends on damage and paint. What we do is clean against the same kind of checklist property managers inspect with, and fix anything they flag on cleaning within 24 hours, free.

Do you serve homes near UC Davis as well as the rest of the city?

Yes — all of Davis is in our service area, from the Downtown Core near campus to newer neighborhoods like Mace Ranch.

Is Davis part of your regular service area, or a special trip out?

Regular service — Davis is fully in our coverage area, the same as anywhere else in the metro we work.
