How much does a move out cleaning service cost in Boise City?
In Boise City, a move-out and move-in cleaning starts from $319 per visit, while a standard clean for an occupied home starts from $199. The higher price for an empty home covers intensive work inside every appliance, cabinet, and closet, along with detailed care for baseboards and grout that regular visits skip.

Rather than charging extra for individual tasks, the flat price includes deep house cleaning inside the oven, inside the refrigerator, emptied kitchen cabinets, bedroom closets, and scrubbed bathroom tile.

What move out cleaning in Boise City involves that a generic one does not
Housing across Boise City consists mostly of single-family detached houses, which make up 64% of residences, while 8% are in larger apartment buildings with 20 or more units. By comparison, nearby Kuna is 92% single-family houses. Tenants in larger apartment buildings often face formal check-out inspections by a leasing office, while single-family houses require attention to additional floor space, stairs, and entryways. The dry regional air presents another challenge, as static dust resettles within a day of a dry wipe, causing ceiling fans, return vents, and window tracks to collect visible buildup quickly. Additionally, local wildfire smoke leaves fine ash on exterior-facing blinds, sills, and vents. A practical step for anyone leaving or moving into a home is to wipe down air vents and ceiling fans with a damp microfiber cloth to keep dust from settling back onto freshly washed surfaces.
Getting the security deposit back in Boise City
Under Idaho law, a landlord must return the security deposit or provide an itemized list of deductions within 21 days, or within 30 days if specified in the lease agreement. This clock starts the moment the tenant surrenders the premises and terminates the lease. For additional details on normal wear and tear or move-in documentation, visit our Idaho move-out and move-in cleaning page. Keeping an itemized receipt along with dated photos of every room after the clean helps resolve most deposit disputes with a landlord.
How long it takes, and when to book cleaning services in Boise City
A move-out or move-in cleaning for a 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 houses with four or more bedrooms measuring 3,000 square feet or larger, the work takes 8 to 14 or more labor hours. Sending a two-person crew roughly halves the time spent on site. Heavy appliance buildup on a move-out can add 2 to 3 labor hours. Booking a few days in advance works well, scheduling the visit for the day after the movers leave while utility power and running water remain active.

Move out cleaning in Boise City: FAQ
What is the starting price for a move-out cleaning in Boise City?
Pricing for a move-out clean starts from $319 per visit. The final rate depends on the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and the overall condition of the home rather than square footage alone.
Is it worth cleaning an apartment before moving out?
Booking a clean makes sense when the security deposit is larger than the cost of the visit or when the lease explicitly demands a clean unit upon move-out. It is unnecessary if your lease already deducts a fixed, non-refundable cleaning fee regardless of condition.
What does a move-out cleaning include?
The visit covers inside the oven, inside the refrigerator, inside emptied cabinets and closets, along with baseboards and floors. Bathrooms are scrubbed top to bottom, including tile, grout, sinks, and fixtures.
Do you charge by the hour for a move-out cleaning?
No, we provide a flat price per visit calculated from bedrooms, bathrooms, and condition. Hourly quotes are difficult to compare because the final cost shifts depending on the speed and size of the crew assigned to the job.
How long does a landlord in Idaho have to return a security deposit?
Landlords have 21 days to return the deposit unless the lease agreement establishes a deadline up to 30 days. The countdown begins when the tenant surrenders the keys and hands back the property, and full state rules can be reviewed on our Idaho page.
