Why Movers Choose Our Cleaning Team

Moving requires precise timing and dependable service, especially when a home is empty and schedules are tight. At Maid Right of Evanston, our move-in and move-out cleaning services in Northbrook are designed around the realities of moving day. Our team regularly coordinates cleanings alongside movers, walkthroughs, and key exchanges, ensuring the process stays smooth and predictable.

Our Move-In and Move-Out Cleaning Approach Includes:

• Maid Right Signature Clean®: A detailed, top-to-bottom checklist that ensures every room is thoroughly cleaned and ready for inspection or move-in.
• MR Shield® Medical-Grade Disinfection: Hospital-grade disinfection for high-touch surfaces, ideal for turnovers between occupants.
• Maid Right Technics®: Color-coded microfiber cloths and systemized cleaning methods that prevent cross-contamination and support consistent results.
• HEPA Filter Vacuums: Capture dust, debris, and indoor allergens that often become more noticeable in empty homes.
• Eco-Safe Products: Non-toxic, pet-safe cleaning solutions that protect people, property, and the environment.

As a local move-in cleaning company Northbrook residents trust, we are familiar with the apartments, condos, and single-family homes common in the area and the details landlords, buyers, and tenants expect to see addressed. We communicate clearly about arrival times and estimated duration based on the size and condition of the property, so there are no surprises.

Move Out Cleaning For Rentals & Homes

Moving out often comes with pressure, especially if you want to protect as much of your security deposit as possible or help a sale go smoothly. Our move-out cleaning is designed for empty or nearly empty spaces, which lets us focus on areas that show wear once furniture has been removed.

A typical move-out cleaning Northbrook residents request goes deeper than standard recurring service. We focus on surfaces that become very noticeable in an empty home, and we pay attention to frequently used spaces like kitchens and bathrooms. Exact tasks can vary with the home, but we work to leave the place looking well cared for.

Examples of common move-out cleaning focus areas include:

• Wiping the exterior and interior of kitchen cabinets and drawers after they are emptied
• Cleaning appliance exteriors and accessible interiors, such as the refrigerator and oven, when they are cleared
• Thoroughly cleaning bathroom fixtures and surfaces so they look refreshed for the next resident
• Dusting baseboards, window sills, and light fixtures that may have been hidden by furniture
• Vacuuming and mopping hard floors and vacuuming carpets after most items are removed

To get the most from your move-out cleaning, we generally recommend scheduling after most boxes and furniture have left, but before your final walkthrough, when that timing is possible. Our move-out cleaning company can discuss your dates and help you find a time that fits your move.

Move-In Cleaning For Your New Place

Even a home that looks tidy at first glance can collect dust, residue, and odors from previous occupants or recent work. Our move-in cleaning helps you start fresh so you can unpack into a place that feels ready for your family from day one.

During move-in cleaning, we focus on making frequently touched and high-use areas feel clean and comfortable. That often includes kitchens where you will prepare food, bathrooms your family will use right away, and living spaces where you plan to spend time together.

Whenever possible, we encourage scheduling the move-in cleaning before large furniture and most boxes arrive. This gives our team room to reach more surfaces and can reduce the chance that dust from past work gets sealed under your belongings. If that timing is not available, we can still work around items and focus on the spaces you want ready first.

We treat each new home as if we were the ones moving in, and we work to leave it feeling like a place you can immediately settle into. If you know your closing date, contacting our move-in cleaning service a bit early can help secure the timing you want.

How Our Move Cleaning Process Works

Planning is a big part of a smooth move. Our process is set up to be straightforward, so you know what to expect. It starts when you reach out to Maid Right of Evanston to talk about your dates and the type of home you are moving in or out of.

When you call, we typically ask about the size of the home, the number of bathrooms, whether it will be mostly empty, and your preferred timing. This information helps us estimate how long the move-out cleaning or move-in cleaning will take and how many cleaners we should send that day.

On cleaning day, our team arrives within the agreed window, confirms any priorities with you if you are present, and then gets to work. We bring our own cleaning supplies and equipment, unless you prefer otherwise, and we follow a plan that focuses on the areas that matter most in a move context.

To help your move cleaning go smoothly, simple steps you can take include:

• Confirming utilities like water and electricity will be on during the cleaning
• Letting us know how we will access the home, such as meeting us or providing a lockbox code
• Sharing any specific concerns, such as heavy-use areas you want extra attention on
• Trying to keep pets and children away from work areas during the cleaning when possible

Our move-in cleaning company strives to keep communication clear from the time you book until the job is complete. If you have questions as your plans change, you can contact us to review timing and details.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I schedule my move-out cleaning?

It usually works best to schedule move-out cleaning after most furniture and boxes are removed, but before your final walkthrough. Many people aim for the day after the movers leave. If your dates are fixed, contact us early so we can talk about options.

What is different about move-in cleaning?

Move-in cleaning focuses on preparing an empty or nearly empty home for new residents. Our team targets kitchen, bathrooms, and high-touch surfaces so you can unpack into a clean space. It typically goes deeper than a quick touch-up or standard recurring visit.

Do I need to be home during the cleaning?

You do not have to be home if access is arranged in advance. Some clients meet us, others use a lockbox or building staff to let us in. We confirm the plan with you beforehand so you can focus on other parts of your move that day.

How do you price a move cleaning?

We usually base pricing on the size of the home, the number of bathrooms, and how lived-in or empty it is. When you call, we ask a few questions to understand the work involved and then provide a quote so you know what to expect before booking.

Can your team handle both move-in and move-out on the same day?

In some cases, we can schedule move-out cleaning at one home and move-in cleaning at another on the same day. It depends on locations, sizes, and timing. If you have a back-to-back move, call us to discuss your plan, and we will review what is possible.
