Move-In & Move-Out Cleaning from $319 per visit. Free itemized quote before anyone arrives.
A move-out or move-in cleaning in Hollywood is a top-to-bottom clean of an empty home, inside the oven, refrigerator, cabinets and closets included, priced flat per visit by home size. Tenants book it to hand back the keys and help protect their security deposit, while buyers and renters order a clean before unpacking, and sellers clean to prepare for showings. Every visit follows the same landlord-style checklist, comes with a free itemized quote, and covers the entire city plus the nearby communities listed below.
How much does a move out cleaning service cost in Hollywood?
A move-out and move-in cleaning in Hollywood starts from $319 per visit, while a standard clean starts from $199. The empty-home service costs more because no surface is passed over. A standard visit touches visible counters and floors, but a move-out cleaning goes deep house cleaning into every emptied cabinet, closet, and appliance, along with baseboards and bathroom grout that a landlord inspects during the walkthrough. We quote a flat price per visit based on the number of 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. Inside the oven and refrigerator, emptied cupboards, built-in shelving, and baseboards are all covered in the quote rather than billed as add-ons.

What move out cleaning in Hollywood involves that a generic one does not
In Hollywood, single-family houses make up 43 percent of homes, while 19 percent sit in apartment buildings with 20 or more units, and 59 percent are owner-occupied. By contrast, nearby Hallandale Beach has only 9 percent single-family homes. Larger houses with stairs require extra attention on handrails and risers, while apartment moves usually mean coordinating with a leasing office for final inspection. Florida has a humid climate that drives mildew growth in shower grout, caulking, on air conditioning vents, and inside closets that stay shut. Opening closet doors and running the air conditioning before the cleaning service arrives helps keep air moving. The county also experiences frequent heavy rain and flooding, which tracks mud into entries and puts heavy wear on tile or wood floors. Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30, and storm events cause many property owners to request a house cleaning at the same time.
Getting the security deposit back in Hollywood
Florida law requires a landlord to return your security deposit, along with any required interest, within 15 days after the rental agreement ends and you vacate the premises. If the landlord intends to make a claim for damages, the notice must be sent by certified mail within 30 days.

Dated photos taken right after the clean and an itemized receipt settle most tenant disputes quickly.
How long it takes, and when to book cleaning services in Hollywood
A studio or one-bedroom move-out clean usually takes between 2 and 4 labor hours, while a two-bedroom home takes 4 to 6 labor hours. For a three-bedroom house of about 1,500 to 2,000 square feet, plan on 5 to 8 labor hours, and homes with four or more bedrooms starting at 3,000 square feet take 8 to 14 or more labor hours. A two-person team cuts the actual time on site roughly in half. Heavy appliance build-up can add 2 to 3 labor hours. Booking a few days ahead is usually sufficient. Schedule the move-out visit for the day after the movers load the truck, making sure water and power remain on.

Move out cleaning in Hollywood: FAQ
What is the starting price for a move-out cleaning in Hollywood?
A move-out clean in the city starts from $319 per visit. The total cost is determined by the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and the current state of the home, rather than its square footage.
Is it worth cleaning an apartment before moving out?
Hiring a cleaner is worth it when your security deposit is larger than the visit cost or your lease explicitly mandates a deep house cleaning upon moving out. Check your lease first, because if the property manager charges a non-refundable cleaning fee regardless of condition, a separate visit is unnecessary.
What does a move-out cleaning include?
The visit covers inside the oven, refrigerator, cupboards, drawers, and closets, along with baseboards, light switches, and interior window sills. Bathrooms are scrubbed from tub to ceiling vents, and all hard floors and carpets are cleaned throughout the empty property.
Do you charge by the hour for a move-out cleaning?
No, every visit is quoted at a flat price upfront based on bedrooms, bathrooms, and home condition. Hourly quotes are hard to evaluate because total costs change depending on crew size and speed, whereas a flat rate stays fixed.
How long does a landlord in Florida have to return a security deposit?
A landlord must return the full deposit within 15 days of the lease ending and the tenant vacating the unit. If the landlord makes a claim against the deposit, they have 30 days to give written notice, as detailed on our Florida state page.
