Move-In and Move-Out Cleaning in St. Catharines

Why Move-In and Move-Out Cleaning Is Different From a Regular Clean

A move-out clean isn't a quick tidy-up. It's a full reset: inside cabinets and appliances, baseboards, closets, and every surface a regular maintenance visit usually skips. Landlords and property managers expect it, and it's often the difference between getting a full deposit back and not.

St. Catharines Sees a Lot of Turnover

Between family homes changing hands, condo turnover, and student housing tied to Brock University's academic calendar, St. Catharines has a steady flow of move-in and move-out cleaning needs, especially around late summer and early fall.

What's Typically Included

• Inside ovens, fridges, and cabinets
• Baseboards, door frames, and light switches
• Inside closets and storage areas
• Bathrooms scrubbed top to bottom, not just wiped down
• Floors vacuumed and mopped entirely

What It Costs

Move-in and move-out cleans generally run 50 to 100 percent more than a standard clean, since they take longer and cover far more detail. The exact cost depends on the size of the home and its current condition.
