Move-in cleaning in Ocoee: start fresh
Move-in cleaning in Ocoee, FL is a deep clean with no one in the way. No furniture. No boxes. We clean inside every cabinet and drawer. We scrub every bath. We wipe every shelf, sill, and switch. We mop every floor, corner to corner.
Your things then go into a fresh home. Not a home with the last owner’s dust in the drawers.
What we clean
Kitchen. Inside cabinets and drawers. Inside oven, fridge, microwave. Counters, sink, grout.
Baths. Tubs, toilets, sinks, mirrors, grout, fixtures. Caulk lines scrubbed.
Every room. Closets, shelves, baseboards, window sills, light switches, fans.
Floors. Vacuumed and mopped wall to wall. No furniture means no missed spots.
How it works
Step 1: book the gap. Call with your closing date. We hold a slot between closing and move day.
Step 2: we get the keys. Lockbox, agent, or you meet us. Empty home, full access.
Step 3: the deep clean. Top to bottom, inside and out of every cabinet. The full empty-home treatment.
Step 4: the walk-back. Every room checked. Floors still damp when the movers arrive — in a good way.
Step 5: you move in. Boxes go into a fresh, clean home.
New construction? Different dirt.
New builds have builder dust — fine drywall dust in every vent, closet, and sill. It takes a detail pass to clear. We do new-home cleans weekly across Ocoee and Clermont. Tell us it is new construction when you book. See new home first clean.
Timing tips
The best gap is two to three days. Close on Monday, we clean Tuesday, movers come Wednesday. Tight timelines happen all the time in Ocoee — call and we will fit you in.

What to do before we arrive
Nothing, if the home is empty. If the sellers left items, clear them or tell us — we clean around what is there, but empty is faster and cheaper. Make sure the water and power are on. We need both.
The empty-home advantage
An empty home is the fastest home to clean. No furniture to work around. No boxes blocking the closets. Every surface reachable. That is why a move-in clean costs less than a lived-in deep clean of the same size — we do the same depth in less time.
It is also the only time you will ever see the home truly empty. Behind the fridge. Inside every cabinet. The closet floors. We clean all of it, because we can reach all of it.
New construction vs lived-in
New construction. The enemy is fine dust — drywall dust in vents, on sills, in closets, on every flat surface. It takes a detail pass with the right cloths. We also remove stickers, paint specks, and leftover debris.
Lived-in resale. The enemy is the last owner’s life — grease in the oven, soap scum in the showers, dust in the drawers. We assume the worst and price for it.
Tell us which one when you book. The crew brings the right plan.
After the move-in clean
Start recurring visits right away. A new home is the easiest home to keep clean — no backlog, no buildup. Weekly or biweekly from day one, and the home never gets away from you. Many of our longest customers started with a move-in clean.
What to check before we arrive
A quick checklist for move week. Power and water on. We need both. Keys or code ready. Lockbox, agent, or meet us — confirm the day before. Sellers fully out. Leftover furniture slows us down and costs you more. Trash bins empty. We take our trash, not the last owner’s. Punch list noted. Tell us about the trouble spots — the oven, the master shower, the mystery stain.
Miss one and we adapt. But a ready home means a faster clean and a lower price.
Coordinating with movers and agents
We work with your timeline, not against it. Give us your agent’s number and we coordinate key handoff. Movers coming at noon? We finish by eleven. Closing delayed? We move the slot — no fee for reschedules with 24 hours notice. The goal is simple: you never pay movers to wait, and you never move boxes into a dirty home.
Cost
Empty homes clean fast. A move-in clean usually costs less than a deep clean of a lived-in home the same size.
