How Our Team Handles Move Cleaning

During a move, there’s no time for guesswork. At Maid Right of Manhattan, we start by discussing your home, move date, and any building requirements so our team can fit the cleaning seamlessly around your schedule. From there, we approach your move-in or move-out cleaning with the same structured systems and care that make our ongoing services reliable, tailored for a home in transition.

Our Move Cleaning Process Includes:

  • Maid Right Signature Clean®: A methodical, top-to-bottom checklist that guides our team through every room and surface, ensuring important details aren’t overlooked, even when time is tight.
  • MR Shield® Medical-Grade Disinfection: High-touch areas such as handles, switches, and fixtures receive hospital-grade disinfecting, creating a safer environment for incoming residents.
  • Maid Right Technics®: Color-coded microfiber cloths reduce cross-contamination between kitchens, bathrooms, and living spaces, while HEPA filter vacuums capture fine dust often left behind after packing and moving.
  • Eco-Safe Products: Non-toxic, pet-safe cleaning solutions protect your family, property, and the environment.

Our cleaners focus on surfaces that show signs of everyday use—counters, cabinets, and fixtures—leaving your home refreshed and ready for the next occupant. Because we understand the importance of safety and trust, our team is thoroughly trained, bonded, and insured. We communicate clearly about arrival windows, access instructions, and what to expect during the visit.

Plus, with our 100% satisfaction guarantee, if anything is missed, simply notify us within 24 hours, and we’ll return within 48 hours to make it right. This structured approach ensures your move cleaning is thorough, efficient, and stress-free.

Move-Out Cleaning For Your Next Step

When move-out day finally arrives, you are probably thinking about getting the truck loaded, returning keys on time, and starting the next chapter. Scrubbing out the kitchen or wiping inside closets at the last minute can slow everything down. Our move-out cleaning services are designed to help you leave with confidence that the home is ready for its walk-through.

We typically focus on areas that show wear after daily life, such as bathrooms, kitchens, floors, and surfaces that are newly exposed once furniture and belongings are gone. Our team works from the Maid Right Signature Clean checklist, so there is a clear plan to address these spaces in an organized way. The goal is to help you present a home that looks well cared for when you hand it back to a landlord, buyer, or property manager.

Timing often matters just as much as quality, especially in Upper West Side buildings where management companies may schedule a final inspection shortly after you move out. We work to coordinate our arrival between your mover’s schedule, elevator reservations, and key drop-off times so we can clean once your belongings are out, but before the final walkthrough. Clear communication around access and timing helps reduce last-minute surprises.

Here is how a professional move-out clean can help you:

  • Free up your time to focus on packing, movers, and your next home.
  • Present a home that feels clean and orderly for landlords or buyers.
  • Reduce the stress of trying to do heavy cleaning when you are already exhausted.
  • Address dust and residue that only appears after furniture is removed.

Move-In Cleaning For A Fresh Start

Arriving at a new home should feel exciting, not like a reminder of the people who lived there before you. Our move-in cleaning services are built around the idea that you deserve to unpack into a space that already feels fresh, sanitized, and ready to live in. This is especially important for families with children or pets who may be close to floors and surfaces from day one.

Move-in cleaning often reaches deeper than weekly maintenance. Once a previous resident has moved out, you may notice dust in shelving, marks on doors, and buildup on fixtures that simple turnover cleaning did not touch. We work to address these signs of long-term use by pairing our checklist approach with tools designed to capture fine particles and reduce germs before your belongings arrive.

We rely on non-toxic, eco-friendly products to clean surfaces throughout your home. MR Shield is available for medical-grade disinfection on high-touch areas, which can be particularly reassuring when you are stepping into a home that has recently had other occupants. Our HEPA filter vacuums help improve indoor air quality by collecting small particles that often linger in older prewar apartments, brownstones, and high-rise buildings in the Upper West Side.

Scheduling move-in cleaning can feel tricky because you may be balancing closing dates, lease start times, keypickup, and mover arrivals. We work with you to find a time that fits between these milestones so we can clean when the home is empty or lightly furnished. That way, you can walk into a space that already feels like yours instead of planning to clean after everything is in place.

Our Simple Move Cleaning Process

When your to-do list is long, an easy process matters. We keep our approach straightforward so you always know what is coming next. From the first call to the final follow-up, our goal is to reduce your workload, not add to it.

It often starts with a conversation about your home, whether it is a one-bedroom rental on West End Avenue or a larger home closer to Riverside Park. We ask about square footage, general condition, and whether the space will be empty or furnished on the day of service. We also talk through your building’s rules, including freight elevator reservations, insurance documentation that the management office may request, and any weekday time limits for contractors.

Once you choose a date, we confirm arrival windows and access instructions so our team can check in with the doorman or use the arrangement you prefer. On the day of your move-in cleaning, our cleaners arrive with the products and equipment needed for your home. They work through the Maid Right Signature Clean checklist, paying particular attention to surfaces and rooms that see heavy use. After the cleaning, we encourage you to look over the space as soon as it is practical and contact us within 24 hours if there is anything you feel we missed.

A few simple steps can help you prepare for our visit:

  • Confirm building move and contractor rules with your management office.
  • Reserve the freight elevator or loading dock if required.
  • Let us know if the home will be furnished or empty on cleaning day.
  • Plan where keys will be left or who will meet our team on arrival.
