A move-out or move-in cleaning in Miami 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 hand back their keys needing their full security deposit back, buyers and renters want every shelf wiped before they unpack, and sellers get a property ready for showings. We use the same landlord-style checklist on every job, give a free itemized quote, and cover all of Miami and the surrounding cities.
How much does a move out cleaning service cost in Miami?
A move-out or move-in cleaning in Miami starts from $319 per visit. For comparison, a standard clean for an occupied home starts from $199. An empty-home clean costs more because every cabinet, closet, and appliance is wiped inside, baseboards and grout are scrubbed, and no spot is skipped before the final walkthrough. We quote a flat rate per visit based on bedrooms, bathrooms, and the 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, refrigerator, emptied cabinets, and closets are included in the base rate rather than added per item. Your quote is always free and itemized.
What move out cleaning in Miami involves that a generic one does not
In Miami, only 22% of homes are single-family detached houses, while 15% are in high-density buildings with 20 or more units, requiring coordinated elevator access for move out cleaning. In nearby Gladeview, 50% of homes are single-family houses, where long baseboards and stairs need extra focus. Miami has a humid climate that breeds mildew in shower grout, on air conditioning vents, and inside closets that stay shut. Landlords inspect these spots first during a lease handoff. FEMA ranks Miami-Dade County among the most frequent areas for flooding from heavy rain, which tracks mud into entries and damages unsealed floors. The region also faces Atlantic hurricane season from June 1 to November 30. When a major storm passes, many homes need a deep house cleaning at once, making early scheduling essential after severe weather events.
Getting the security deposit back in Miami
In Florida, a landlord must return your security deposit within 15 days after the rental agreement ends and you vacate the premises. The clock starts the day you hand over the keys and surrender the home. Visit our Florida move-out and move-in cleaning page for details on claim timelines, normal wear and tear rules, and photos to take before moving in. Dated photos of every room after the clean and an itemized receipt settle most security deposit disputes.
How long it takes, and when to book cleaning services in Miami
A move-out or move-in cleaning takes between 2 and 4 labor hours for a studio or one-bedroom unit, 4 to 6 labor hours for a two-bedroom layout, and 5 to 8 labor hours for a three-bedroom home up to 2,000 square feet. Large houses with four or more bedrooms require 8 to 14 or more labor hours. A two-person maid team roughly halves the time spent on site. Cleaning inside the oven and refrigerator can add 2 to 3 labor hours on a move out cleaning. Book your move-out clean for the day after the movers finish, leaving power and running water connected for the cleaner.

Move out cleaning in Miami: FAQ
What is the starting price for a move-out cleaning in Miami?
A move out cleaning starts from $319 per visit. The final cost is determined by the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and the overall condition of the property, never by square footage alone.
Is it worth cleaning an apartment before moving out?
Booking a cleaning service is worth it when your security deposit is larger than the cost of the visit or your lease strictly demands a top-to-bottom clean. It is not necessary if your lease automatically deducts a set, mandatory cleaning fee regardless of condition.
What does a move-out cleaning include?
Every move out cleaning covers the interior of the oven, refrigerator, cabinets, and closets. The maid team cleans bathrooms top to bottom, scrubs baseboards, wipes window tracks, and washes all hard floors.
Do you charge by the hour for a move-out cleaning?
No, we provide a fixed flat price per visit based on bedrooms, bathrooms, and condition. Hourly rates are unpredictable because the total cost depends entirely on how quickly a cleaner works.
How long does a landlord in Florida have to return a security deposit?
Florida law requires the landlord to return your deposit within 15 days of vacating the rental unit if no claim is made. Read our full Florida residential page for specific rules regarding deduction notices and tenant rights.
