Inspection-Ready Move-Out & Move-In Cleaning in San Antonio

What's included in Move Clean

Moving is exhausting enough without having to scrub a greasy stovetop at midnight. Our team at San Antonio Maid Services built this Move-In & Move-Out Cleaning service to take that final, heavy burden off your shoulders.

Apartment landlords and property managers hold very strict standards for these transitions. We know that small misses, like a dusty blind or an unwashed baseboard, can easily cost you hundreds of dollars at inspection.

This high-stakes reality is exactly why a generic deep clean simply does not work. Our cleaners build every service around the exact, line-by-line checklists that property managers actually use.

You can focus on settling into your new place while the old one gets perfectly prepped.

What’s included in a Move-In & Move-Out Cleaning

A move-out clean covers everything a standard deep clean does, plus all the surfaces you can only reach when the home is empty. Our crew finally gets clear access to interior cabinets, bare floors, and the deep corners of your appliances. These hidden spots are exactly what inspectors check first.

Kitchen Appliance and Cabinet Detailing

Empty kitchens reveal sticky surprises that everyday cleaning misses. Our professionals use commercial-grade products, like Zep Heavy-Duty Citrus Degreaser, to safely break down stubborn buildup inside ovens and microwaves. This targeted approach ensures everything looks brand new.

Kitchen (vacant scope) includes:

• Interior cabinets and drawers wiped down (top, sides, and bottom), plus pantry shelving.
• Oven interior degreased, microwave interior, and dishwasher interior cleaned.
• Refrigerator and freezer interior detailed, along with the exterior of all appliances.
• Backsplash deep cleaning, with sink and faucet polished.
• Baseboards, light fixtures, and vent covers dusted.

Bathroom Scrubbing and Hard-Water Removal

Bathrooms require serious elbow grease to pass a strict move-out inspection. Our specialists tackle hard-water spotting on glass and fixtures using specialized tools like natural pumice stones. These simple stones clear stubborn rings quickly without scratching the porcelain.

Bathrooms include:

• Grout deep cleaning, tile detail, and hard-water spotting on glass and fixtures.
• Fan vent dusting and light fixtures.
• Cabinet interiors and drawers wiped.
• Mirrors cleaned.
• Toilet base and behind-toilet detail.

Living Areas, Bedrooms, and Floors

Dust settles heavily in empty rooms, making baseboards the single most-missed surface during a move. Our cleaners pay special attention to these neglected areas so you pass inspection.

Living areas and bedrooms include:

• Baseboards top to bottom, plus door frames and door tops.
• Blinds (full slat detail) and interior windows.
• Ceiling fan blades and vent covers.
• Closet shelving and rods.
• Light switches and outlet covers wiped.

Vacuuming and mopping with appropriate finish-safe products completes the floors. A carpet add-on is available, as many apartment leases require professional carpet receipts.

We provide those exact receipts to meet your lease requirements. Providing complete documentation proves the job was done correctly.

Built around the inspection

Property managers and Realtors do not grade cleanings on appearance. Our service is built directly around the rigorous written checklists used by the largest property management firms in Greater San Antonio.

Texas Property Code Section 92.104 legally requires landlords to provide a specific, itemized list of deductions if they withhold any of your money. We focus exactly on the most common deduction triggers so you can avoid those expensive charges. This targeted strategy is how deposits actually get returned.

Common deposit-deduction triggers we address:

• Greasy stovetop and oven interior
• Sticky cabinet interiors
• Refrigerator door seals and back-of-shelf grime
• Bathroom grout and hard-water rings
• Baseboards (the single most-missed surface)
• Window tracks, blind slat dust, light fixtures, and ceiling fan dust

Knowing what inspectors look for makes all the difference. Our move-out checklist guide walks through the full task list room by room.

Tight windows and same-day availability

Moves do not happen on convenient schedules. Our scheduling system is built to handle last-minute changes, like when movers run late or property managers suddenly move up an inspection.

Same-day availability is a core part of what this service offers. We work hard to slot you in the same afternoon when scheduling allows, provided you submit a quote before 10 AM. Fast turnarounds keep your moving day on track.

For PCS military families near JBSA-Randolph, Base Housing enforces a strict minimum standard for cleaning during summer transitions. Our team runs a tight rotation schedule to support these fast moves. Inspectors require that all adhesive residue is removed, and even small details like stove drip bowls must be spotless.

Every military move-out clean includes the precise itemized receipts required for easy housing-office reimbursement.

We execute these exact property-manager checklists on every single visit. Your final sign-off will go smoothly with the right paperwork in hand.

Pricing

Transparency is crucial when planning a moving budget. Our pricing structure is straightforward and based on the size and condition of your home. The lower end fits a 1-bedroom apartment in good condition, while the upper end fits larger homes or properties with significant buildup.

Cleaning Scope	Estimated Cost Range
Standard 1-Bedroom Apartment	$300 to $400
Medium to Large Single-Family Home	$400 to $800
Professional Carpet Add-On	Priced per room

We quote a real range up front and confirm before starting if on-site conditions move us outside it. Understanding the fine print helps you prepare for the final walk-through.
