How much does a move out cleaning service cost in West Palm Beach?
A move-out and move-in cleaning in West Palm Beach starts from $319 per visit. For comparison, a standard house cleaning for an occupied home starts from $199. An empty-home clean costs more because our house cleaners go inside every emptied cabinet, closet, oven, and refrigerator, scrub baseboards and tile grout, and clean every window track so nothing is missed during a move-out walkthrough. We quote a flat rate per visit based on the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and the overall condition of the home, so the total price is set before anyone arrives, whereas an hourly rate can increase if the work takes longer than expected. Standard inclusions feature interior appliances, emptied cabinets, closets, and baseboards without added fee per item. You can request a free itemized quote for your address in West Palm Beach today.
What move out cleaning in West Palm Beach involves that a generic one does not
In West Palm Beach, 38% of homes are single-family detached houses and 18% are in larger apartment buildings with 20 or more units, whereas in nearby Royal Palm Beach, 65% are single-family houses. Apartment tenants often must coordinate move-out access through a leasing office, while single-family homes require extra attention on entryways and interior stairs. The warm, humid climate here speeds up mildew growth in shower grout, bathroom caulking, air conditioning vents, and dark closets that remain closed during moving week. Running the air conditioning before your clean helps control humidity while the home sits empty. Heavy rain and high local flood risks mean wet mud gets tracked across entry floors, while Atlantic hurricane season, which runs from June 1 to November 30, often leads to multiple homes needing a deep house cleaning at the same time following a storm.
Getting the security deposit back in West Palm Beach
Under Florida law, a landlord must return the security deposit within 15 days after the rental agreement ends and you vacate the premises, provided no damage claim is made. Knowing this deadline helps tenants track their refund process once keys are handed over.

Saving dated photos of every clean surface alongside an itemized receipt provides clear evidence if a deposit dispute arises.
How long it takes, and when to book cleaning services in West Palm Beach
A move-out or move-in cleaning for a small studio or one-bedroom home usually takes 2 to 4 labor hours. A two-bedroom property requires 4 to 6 labor hours, while a three-bedroom home of 1,500 to 2,000 square feet takes 5 to 8 labor hours. For four bedrooms or more over 3,000 square feet, the job requires 8 to 14 or more labor hours. A two-person team cuts the time spent on site in half. Appliances alone can add 2 to 3 labor hours. Booking a few days in advance works well, scheduling the clean for the day after movers depart and making sure electricity and water remain on.

Move out cleaning in West Palm Beach: FAQ
What is the starting price for a move-out cleaning in West Palm Beach?
A move-out cleaning in West Palm Beach starts from $319 per visit. The final cost depends on the number of bedrooms and bathrooms as well as the home condition, not on square footage.
Is it worth cleaning an apartment before moving out?
Booking a clean is worth it if your security deposit is larger than the cost of the service or if your lease explicitly requires a clean unit upon move-out. However, if your lease agreement already deducts a fixed, non-refundable cleaning fee regardless of condition, a separate visit may not be necessary.
What does a move-out cleaning include?
The service covers the interior of the oven, refrigerator, cabinets, and closets. A maid will also scrub bathrooms top to bottom, clear dust from baseboards, sweep and mop floors, and wipe down doors and switches.
Do you charge by the hour for a move-out cleaning?
No, we provide a fixed price per visit based on your home size and condition. Hourly quotes are difficult to compare because the final bill changes depending on the speed and number of workers sent.
How long does a landlord in Florida have to return a security deposit?
