ServicesMove-In Cleaning
Move-In Cleaning in Pomona
We clean your new place while it is still empty, so you start fresh before the first box comes through the door. Cabinets, closets, appliances and the corners the last owner missed get scrubbed, and older fixtures get the gentle care they need.
A clean start in a house that was someone else's
A home can look tidy at the final walkthrough and still hold years of someone else's grime: grease film inside the range hood, hair in the heat registers, dust along the tops of door frames. Move-in cleaning happens at the one moment every room is empty, so we can reach all of it before your furniture covers it up.
Many homes around Pomona have been lived in for decades, and that shows in the details. Original tile with worn grout, wood floors refinished more than once, old brass hardware and painted-over window tracks all need a lighter hand than a new build. We check what each surface is before we choose a cleaner, so nothing gets etched, stripped or scratched.
Our customers have given us a 4.9-star average from 2,274 verified reviews. If your move date is coming up, a short phone call gets you a free quote and a clear picture of what we will clean.
What we clean before you move in
- 01
Inside every cabinet and drawer
We vacuum out crumbs and debris, then wipe shelves, drawer bottoms and door fronts. If old shelf liner is glued down, we point it out to you instead of tearing it up without asking.
- 02
Kitchen appliances, inside and out
The oven, stovetop, range hood and filter, microwave and refrigerator, including its drawers and door gaskets. Where an appliance slides out safely, we clean the floor and wall behind it too.
- 03
Bathrooms down to the grout lines
Tubs, showers, toilets, vanities and mirrors get scrubbed and disinfected. In older bathrooms we use grout-safe products on original tile and work carefully around chipped porcelain and aging caulk.
- 04
Floors, baseboards and doors
Every floor is vacuumed and mopped. We wipe baseboards, door frames, light switches and outlet covers that years of hands have darkened.
- 05
Window sills and tracks
Interior glass, sills and sliding door tracks. Older aluminum and wood tracks pack in dirt over time, so we loosen it and vacuum it out.
- 06
Vents, fans and light fixtures
Ceiling fan blades, reachable light fixtures and vent covers, which often hold more dust than anything else in a house that sat empty.
Questions about Move-In Cleaning?
Call(909) 359-9901Signs your new home needs a move-in clean
The seller's clean was a quick once-over
Counters were wiped and floors swept, but open a cabinet or pull out the stove and the real story shows.
The house sat empty for a while
Vacant homes collect fine dust, especially after dry, windy stretches. It settles on every sill, track and shelf.
You inherited used appliances
A range, fridge or dishwasher that came with the house has someone else's spills baked in. We clean them before your food goes anywhere near them.
Lingering smells from the last occupants
Pet, cooking or smoke residue often clings to hard surfaces, and cleaning them usually helps a lot. If an odor is coming from carpet padding or walls beyond what cleaning reaches, we tell you honestly.
Someone in your family has allergies
Dust and dander left behind by the previous owners is easiest to remove before rugs and furniture go down.
How a move-in clean goes
- 1
Your free quote by phone
Tell us the size of the home, how many bathrooms it has and what shape it was left in. We will ask about the age of the house and any surfaces you are unsure of, then give you a free quote.

A quick walk-through first
When we arrive, we note stains, damaged finishes and old repairs before we start. If something looks fragile, like loose tile or a cracked pane, we point it out to you rather than quietly working around it.
- 3
Top to bottom, room by room
We start with ceiling fans and high shelves and finish with baseboards and floors, so falling dust lands on areas not yet cleaned. Kitchens and bathrooms take the most time, and we give them that time.

A final look together
Before we leave, you can walk the house with us or check it on your own. If you notice something we missed, let us know within a day of the clean and we will review it and work out a fair resolution with you.
What shapes the price of a move-in clean
Every quote starts with the home itself and the condition it was left in. We explain on the phone what the price covers, so the day holds no surprises. These are the things that move it most.
- Size and number of bathrooms
- More rooms mean more cabinets, floors and fixtures. Bathrooms take longer than bedrooms, so they weigh more in the estimate.
- How long since a real cleaning
- A home cleaned well before the sale goes faster than one with years of buildup in the oven and shower.
- Appliances and extras
- Cleaning inside the oven and refrigerator, a large number of cabinets, or a lot of interior windows adds time.
- Older finishes
- Original tile, aged wood and delicate hardware call for gentler products and slower work. That care is worth it, and we tell you up front when it applies.
- Access and utilities
- We need running water and power on to do the job. An empty house is quicker to clean than one with boxes already stacked in the rooms.
Move-in cleaning questions
Does the house need to be completely empty?
It works best empty, because we can reach every shelf and corner. If some boxes are already in, we work around them. Cabinets and closets that are already filled cannot be cleaned inside, so we suggest booking before you unpack.
How is this different from a deep cleaning?
Deep cleaning is for a home you already live in, working around your belongings. Move-in cleaning focuses on the spaces that are only open when the house is empty, like inside every cabinet, closet and appliance. It is the most thorough way to start in a new place.
What if something in the house gets damaged during the clean?
We are insured, which matters in a home you just bought, especially an older one with original fixtures and finishes. We also note fragile spots before we start, so you know what we found and how we handled it.
Do I need to be there while you clean?
No, you do not have to stay the whole time. Many people arrange access and come back near the end. If you can, a quick look together before we leave is the best way to make sure everything is how you want it.
Should I book cleaning before or after painting and repairs?
After. Sanding, patching and drilling leave fine dust everywhere, and it would undo the work. If floors are being refinished, schedule us once they have fully cured.
Can you clean the place I am leaving too?
Yes. Our move-out cleaning gets your old home ready for the next owner or your landlord, and we can quote both on the same call.
