Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Direct answers to common questions about move-in cleaning services in Elmhurst and the western Chicago suburbs.

What should I clean when I first move in?
When moving into a new place, focus on deep-sanitizing high-touch and high-use areas first: the bathroom, kitchen appliances & cabinets (inside & out), floors, baseboards, and window sills. Our team thorough cleans and disinfects these areas so your new home is pristine before unpacking.
What is included in a move-in cleaning service?
Our Elmhurst move-in cleaning includes detailed floor care (vacuuming, mopping, sweeping), inside & outside cabinet/drawer cleaning, kitchen countertop & appliance scrub, bathroom descaling & sanitization, baseboard wiping, light fixture dusting, and surface disinfection.
Should you book a move out cleaning service before leaving?
Yes! Booking a move-out clean for your previous residence and a move-in clean for your new home ensures both spaces are spotless. Cleaning before unpacking lets you start fresh with a clean canvas and easily spot any prior room issues.
Do I need to leave the home during a move-in clean?
No! Many clients provide us with a door code or key. Our direct-hire employees are background-checked, bonded, fully insured, and supervised, so you can manage your moving logistics while we prepare your new home.
Should you tip for a house cleaning?
Tipping is completely optional and at your discretion. While never expected, tips are always appreciated by our direct-hire cleaning technicians as a gesture of gratitude for exceptional service.
What is your 200% Satisfaction Guarantee?
If any area cleaned during your move-in service does not meet your expectations, simply contact us within 24 hours. We will promptly re-clean the area free of charge.
