How much does a move out cleaning service cost in Burbank?
A move-out and move-in cleaning in Burbank starts from $399 per visit. By comparison, standard house cleaning for an occupied home starts from $249 per visit. Empty-home cleaning costs more because the cleaner scrubs inside every cabinet, closet, oven, and refrigerator, handles baseboards and grout, and leaves nothing skipped for a final walkthrough. We quote a flat price per visit based on bedrooms, bathrooms, and the overall condition of the home, so the total is known before anyone arrives, while an hourly quote can grow when the job runs long. Rather than charging extra for individual tasks, the price includes inside the oven, inside the refrigerator, emptied cabinets, closets, and baseboards. Every quote is free, itemized, and fixed before the clean begins.
What move out cleaning in Burbank involves that a generic one does not
In Burbank, 44% of homes are single-family detached houses and 20% are in large apartment buildings with 20 or more units, while 43% are owner-occupied. By contrast, in nearby La Crescenta-Montrose, 70% of homes are single-family houses. Tenants leaving large buildings often face strict leasing-office check-outs, while houses with extra bathrooms require extra attention. Los Angeles County ranks high for flooding from heavy rain, which leads to mud tracked across entries, hard floors, and carpets during a move. Heavy rain runoff means cleaning entry tiles and vacuuming floor tracks closely before a walkthrough. Wildfires in the region also push smoke and fine ash into window sills, blinds, and air vents. Landlords and buyers check these hidden areas first, so wiping down sills and cleaning blinds helps avoid disputes.
Getting the security deposit back in Burbank
For a tenant in Burbank, California law states that a landlord has 21 calendar days to return the security deposit or provide an itemized list of deductions. The clock starts after the tenant has vacated the premises. Our California page explains the state rules on normal wear and tear and what to document when you move in. Dated photos of every room taken after the move out cleaning, paired with an itemized receipt, provide clear evidence for your deposit.
How long it takes, and when to book cleaning services in Burbank
An empty studio or one-bedroom home usually takes 2 to 4 labor hours to clean. A two-bedroom home requires 4 to 6 labor hours, while a three-bedroom house between 1,500 and 2,000 square feet takes 5 to 8 labor hours. Larger homes with four or more bedrooms starting at 3,000 square feet take 8 to 14 or more labor hours. A two-person crew halves the time spent on site. Heavy appliance buildup on a move out cleaning can add 2 to 3 hours. Booking a few days ahead is best, setting the appointment for the day after the movers leave, with power and water still connected.

Move out cleaning in Burbank: FAQ
What is the starting price for a move-out cleaning in Burbank?
A move-out clean starts from $399 per visit. The final rate depends on the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and overall condition, rather than square footage.
Is it worth cleaning an apartment before moving out?
It is worth it if your security deposit is larger than the cost of the clean or if your lease explicitly requires a deep house cleaning. If your lease already charges a non-refundable cleaning fee regardless of condition, checking your lease terms first is best.
What does a move-out cleaning include?
The work covers every empty room, including inside the oven and refrigerator, inside all kitchen and bathroom cabinets, and inside closets. It also includes bathrooms scrubbed top to bottom, baseboards wiped, and all hard floors and carpets thoroughly cleaned.
Do you charge by the hour for a move-out cleaning?
No, we provide a flat price per visit based on bedrooms, bathrooms, and condition. Hourly estimates make costs hard to predict because the final price changes depending on the pace of the maid sent to the home.
How long does a landlord in California have to return a security deposit?
A landlord must return the full deposit or send an itemized list of deductions within 21 calendar days after you vacate the property. Visit our California move-out and move-in cleaning service page for a complete guide to state deposit rules.
