Move Out Cleaning & Move-In Cleaning in Orlando, FL
Move-In & Move-Out Cleaning from $339 per visit. Free itemized quote before anyone arrives.
A move-out or move-in cleaning in Orlando 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 the keys and want their security deposit back, buyers and renters want every shelf wiped before unpacking, and sellers want a fresh space for showings. Every visit follows the same checklist that property managers use, with a free itemized quote and full coverage across Orlando and neighboring communities.
How much does a move out cleaning service cost in Orlando?
A move-out and move-in cleaning in Orlando starts from $339 per visit. For comparison, a standard house cleaning for an occupied home starts from $209. An empty home costs more because the work reaches inside every cabinet, closet, oven, and refrigerator, scrubbed baseboards and grout, with nothing hidden by furniture or rugs during the final walkthrough. We quote a flat rate per visit from the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and the overall condition of the home, so the total is clear before anyone arrives, while an hourly quote can grow when the job runs long. Deep house cleaning of baseboards, cleared pantry shelves, and appliance interiors comes standard rather than as add-on fees. Every quote is free and itemized before you book.
What move out cleaning in Orlando involves that a generic one does not
Only 32 percent of homes in Orlando are single-family detached houses, while 26 percent are in apartment buildings with 20 or more units, where leasing offices expect uniform check-out conditions. In nearby Fairview Shores, 65 percent are single-family houses, where multi-bathroom layouts require extra focus on plumbing fixtures. High humidity across Orlando causes mildew in shower grout, on air conditioning vents, and inside closets that remain closed for long periods. Scrubbing grout and drying closet walls before a move-out prevents deposit deductions for moisture marks. Orange County also ranks high for hurricane and wildfire risks. Smoke from regional wildfires leaves fine ash on window sills, blinds, and vent covers. After severe weather events, demand spikes as many residents request a cleaning service at once, so scheduling an appointment early helps secure your preferred date before moving day.
Getting the security deposit back in Orlando
Florida law requires a landlord to return your security deposit within 15 days after the rental agreement ends and you vacate the premises. If the landlord intends to make a claim for damages, they must send an itemized notice within 30 days. Our Florida move-out and move-in cleaning page covers full deposit rules, normal wear and tear guidelines, and checklists for move-in documentation. Taking dated photos of every room immediately after the clean provides proof of the home condition for your records.
How long it takes, and when to book cleaning services in Orlando
A studio or one-bedroom unit takes 2 to 4 labor hours, while a two-bedroom home takes 4 to 6 labor hours. A three-bedroom home between 1,500 and 2,000 square feet takes 5 to 8 labor hours, and 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 on site. Deep house cleaning for appliances can add 2 to 3 labor hours during a move out cleaning. Scheduling a few days ahead is standard. Plan your move out cleaning for the final day after movers finish, and schedule a move-in cleaning the day before boxes arrive.

Move out cleaning in Orlando: FAQ
What is the starting price for a move-out cleaning in Orlando?
A move out cleaning starts from $339 per visit. The final cost depends on the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and the home condition rather than total square footage.
Is it worth cleaning an apartment before moving out?
Booking a cleaner is worth the cost when your security deposit is larger than the visit fee or when your lease requires a clean unit upon departure. If your lease agreement already charges a fixed non-refundable cleaning fee, a separate visit may not be necessary.
What does a move-out cleaning include?
The visit covers inside the oven, refrigerator, emptied cabinets, and closets. A maid scrubs bathrooms top to bottom, clears baseboards, wipes doors, and vacuoms or mops all hard floors and carpets.
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 initial condition. Hourly estimates make comparison difficult because total hours depend on crew size and pace.
How long does a landlord in Florida have to return a security deposit?
Landlords have 15 days to return the full deposit after you move out and end the lease. Visit our Florida page for complete details on state deposit regulations and timeline exceptions.
