How much does a move out cleaning service cost in Savannah?
A move-out and move-in cleaning in Savannah starts from $299 per visit. For comparison, a standard house cleaning for an occupied home starts from $189. The empty-home service costs more because a cleaner scrubs deep into empty cabinets, built-in closets, baseboards, grout, and major kitchen appliances so the residence passes a strict landlord walkthrough. We quote a flat rate per visit based on bedrooms, bathrooms, and overall condition, so the total is known before anyone arrives, while an hourly quote can grow when the job runs long. Rather than charging per item, the flat rate includes the inside of the refrigerator, oven, emptied kitchen cabinets, pantry shelves, and closet interiors. Every quote from our house cleaning company is free, clear, and itemized.
What move out cleaning in Savannah involves that a generic one does not
In Savannah, 56% of homes are single-family detached houses, while 9% are in larger apartment buildings with 20 or more units, and 45% are owner-occupied. By contrast, in nearby Skidaway Island, 95% of homes are single-family houses. Multi-story houses often need extra attention on stair rails and deep house cleaning in full bathrooms, whereas apartment units require focused attention on entryways and interior storage spaces before handing the keys back to a leasing office. Savannah has a humid climate, which encourages mildew to build up quickly in shower grout, bathroom caulking, air conditioning vents, and closets that remain closed. Running exhaust fans and checking dark closet corners helps keep these areas fresh. FEMA ranks the surrounding county high for hurricane risk, with Atlantic hurricane season spanning June 1 to November 30. After severe coastal storms, many homes require deep house cleaning at the same time, so scheduling a maid visit early keeps your moving schedule on track.
Getting the security deposit back in Savannah
Under Georgia law, a landlord must return the security deposit within 30 days after the lease ends or the date the tenant vacates the property, whichever happens last. If any money is withheld, the property owner must provide an itemized list of damages. Visit our Georgia move-out and move-in cleaning page for full details on normal wear and tear versus tenant damage. Taking clear, dated photos of every room after the move out cleaning and saving your itemized receipt provides solid evidence to settle most move-out disputes.
How long it takes, and when to book cleaning services in Savannah
A move-out cleaning for a studio or one-bedroom home takes 2 to 4 labor hours, while a two-bedroom property requires 4 to 6 labor hours. A three-bedroom home between 1,500 and 2,000 square feet requires 5 to 8 labor hours, and homes with four or more bedrooms over 3,000 square feet take 8 to 14 or more labor hours. Bringing a two-person crew roughly halves the total time spent on site. Heavy appliance scrubbing alone can add 2 to 3 labor hours. Booking a few days in advance is ideal. Schedule your move out cleaning for the final day after movers finish, and ensure water and power remain active.

Move out cleaning in Savannah: FAQ
What is the starting price for a move-out cleaning in Savannah?
A move-out clean in Savannah starts from $299 per visit. The final cost depends on the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and the overall condition of the property, never on simple square footage.
Is it worth cleaning an apartment before moving out?
Booking a clean is worthwhile when the security deposit at stake is larger than the cost of the service or when your lease strictly mandates a professional standard. If your lease agreement automatically deducts a mandatory flat fee regardless of condition, checking with your landlord first can save you money.
What does a move-out cleaning include?
The service covers the interior of the oven, refrigerator, cabinets, and closets, alongside complete bathroom sanitation. A cleaner also wipes down baseboards, door frames, fixtures, and scrubs all floor surfaces.
Do you charge by the hour for a move-out cleaning?
No, we provide a fixed flat rate per visit calculated from your bedroom count, bathroom count, and property condition. Hourly quotes are difficult to compare because the final cost depends entirely on how fast the individual cleaner works on site.
How long does a landlord in Georgia have to return a security deposit?
A landlord has 30 days from the end of the lease or the date you hand over the keys, whichever is later, to return your money. You can read full security deposit regulations and tenant rights on our dedicated Georgia page.
