Move-In/Move-Out Cleaning
Comprehensive move-in and move-out cleaning services to ensure a pristine, fresh home transition in Toronto and surrounding areas.

Professional Move-In/Move-Out Cleaning Services in Toronto
Moving is stressful enough without worrying about cleaning. Our specialized move-in/move-out cleaning service is designed to ease this transition, whether you're leaving a rental property and need to meet your landlord's expectations for a security deposit return, or entering a new home and want to start fresh in a thoroughly clean environment.
At Maple Maid, we understand the unique challenges of move-related cleaning. Empty spaces reveal areas that haven't been cleaned in years, and landlords often scrutinize properties closely during final inspections. Our comprehensive service addresses these challenges with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring you can focus on the logistics of your move while we handle the cleaning.

Frequently Asked Questions About Move-In/Move-Out Cleaning
Find answers to common questions about our move-in/move-out cleaning services.
Our comprehensive service includes cleaning all surfaces from top to bottom—walls, baseboards, light fixtures, inside cabinets and appliances, windows, blinds, floors, and bathrooms. We focus on areas that show wear and are often scrutinized during property inspections, ensuring you leave or enter a spotlessly clean space.
For move-out cleaning, we recommend scheduling 1-2 days after your belongings have been removed but before your final walk-through inspection. For move-in cleaning, ideally 1-2 days before moving your belongings in. We can accommodate tight timelines but booking 7-10 days in advance is recommended, especially during peak moving seasons.
It's not necessary. Many clients provide a key or entry instructions and are not present during the service. However, we recommend being available for a final walk-through to ensure your complete satisfaction. If you can't be present, we can document the results with photos and conduct a virtual inspection.
The duration depends on the property size, condition, and specific requirements. A typical 2-bedroom apartment takes 3-4 hours with a team of 2 cleaners. Larger homes or properties requiring intensive cleaning may take longer. We'll provide a time estimate based on your specific situation.
