Moving into a new house comes with a long list of responsibilities and a strict deadline for getting everything done. Between packing, loading the moving truck, and attending to the details of the move, cleaning your old place is probably the last thing on your mind. However, leaving your apartment sparkling clean is an essential step of the process. Hiring a professional cleaning service to tackle the job for you takes that task off your plate while ensuring that your old home is ready for new occupants. 

Why Leave Move-Out Cleaning to the Professionals?

1. Keep Your Security Deposit

You most likely put a security deposit down on your rental when you moved in to cover the cost of any damage to the place beyond normal wear and tear. Your landlord may withhold some of that money, though, if the apartment isn't left in pristine condition.

Hiring a professional cleaning service increases the chance that you’ll get all of your money back because the place will be cleaner than when you moved in. 

2. Save Time

Moving day is often a frenzy of activity, and by the time your belongings are loaded and unloaded, you may not have the time or energy to clean. Hiring a professional service to come in once the rooms are empty gives you more time to focus on other tasks.

3. Clean More Thoroughly 

Professional services have the tools and staff to tackle even the toughest of cleaning duties. For example, scrubbing the oven is a time-consuming task, but with a cleaning team, you don't need to worry about it. They are experienced in move-out cleaning, and will make sure every corner and crevice is spotless. They’ll even take care of the spots that most people forget about, like inside the refrigerator or bathroom drawers.

4. Secure a Good Reference

You never know when you will need a reference from a landlord. Even if you’ve otherwise been a good tenant, leaving the place dirty when you move out might make the landlord mad and hurt your chances of getting a good reference in the future. A clean apartment, though, lets you leave on good terms.
