Move Out Cleaning Company

Karen's Cleaning Company is excellent. She has been in business about 30 years.

Avoid Molly Maids. They are useless unless you follow them around, telling them what to do, then tell them what to redo.

Another vote for Master Care. They are terrific.

I used Master Care. They also did the carpets. I had a small one bedroom apartment and they charged $300. I left it in nearly perfectly clean condition. I felt that was much too expensive. They were a bit late arriving, but the service was polite.

Landlady here: ask for a check out list, so there is no confusion with the landlord. I use Sylvia's Cleaning. Ask for deep cleaning. Afterwards, take pictures for your records and to end any dispute re: cleanliness.

Another vote for Mastercare!

I agree ask you landlord. The past two places here in SB my daughter has moved out of we had cleaned and yet her cleaning deposit was never returned in near the amount it should have been. I also agree that not everyone has next door. It a gossip noisy forum.

Ditto to Master Care. They are amazing.

We've used Master Care

DIY?

Talk to your landlord before you spend money on a deep clean that could be wasted money. Not all, but many landlords want a place in "broom clean condition" and they'll use their own team to do a deep cleaning after you're out. They'll take the expense out of your cleaning deposit. You'll get dinged twice in this case.

An excellent question to post on Nextdoor.
